True Friendship

Friendship – the God Way We all have friends, spanning the spectrum of BFF to casual acquaintance The single largest destroyer of friendships is pride In 99.9% of all broken friendships, humility from both positions, would save a friendship

David and Jonathan One of the greatest examples of true friendship in all of scripture We can all learn about real friendship from these two examples

David Giant Killer Sheep Herder Mighty Man of Valor The Anointed by God future King of Israel Psalmist Worshipper

Jonathan A young man with a horrible example for a father Heir to the current throne of Israel A prince by man’s standards A mighty warrior (1 Sam 14) Not a bad choice for the next king of Israel

Jonathan – the great example Gift of honor to David (1 Sam 18:4) Willing to stand in the gap on behalf of his friend (1 Sam 19:2-7) Helps discern his fathers intentions and almost takes a sword to the chest as a result (1 Sam 20:18-42) Proposes a covenant for the future (1 Sam 23:16-18) Chose the hard path, and honored God

God Honoring Friendship 1 Peter 5:5-11 – Submit to one another – place others needs ahead of your own Romans 12:9-18 – Honor the poor, those of “low position”, in as much as it depends on you. John 15:12-15 – No greater love than to lay down……

In as much as it depends on me
