    Finding someone to get into a Jonathan/David friendship is not up to you. It’s up to God. But, when God does bring that person into your life, then it is up to you to maintain that relationship through God or it will fall into disrepair.

Message Title: One in Spirit (fifth in the series) (1 Samuel 18:1) After David had finished talking with Saul, Jonathan became one in spirit with David, and he loved him as himself.

    David’s friendship with Jonathan was a remarkable and once in a lifetime kind of friendship.

    based on 27 ratings
     | 24,458 views

    David as a model in his relationship with Saul on what to do when someone mistreats you.

    I’ve titled the sermon, “when you are stabbed in the back” because it’s a fact of life that at some point in your life someone is going to stab you in the back, take advantage of you, cheat you, rob you, or do you wrong in some way. A “friend” might gossip about you, sharing your deepest darkest ...read more

    Fully following followers of God express God’s love like Jonathan did with David.

    I begin this morning with a question, “Who would you call your best friend?” For some of us, it is our spouse. For others of us, a sibling is our best friend. For others, a childhood friend whom we still communicate with today holds the title of being our “best friend.” Best friends are very ...read more

    "Contract Or Covenant?"

    Contributed by Jerry Depoy on Apr 30, 2004
    based on 19 ratings
     | 5,343 views

    Most people live in a "Contract World," and not in a "Covenant World." Contracts are written with the idea of failure in mind. That is, "What if things do not work out?" A covenant comes with the word, "Everlasting."

    "Contract or Covenant?” Jonathan and David, best friends. Jonathan needed a friend... I have often wondered why Jonathan himself did not take on the giant Goliath? He displayed the right kind of faith and courage needed for the mission in 1 Samuel 14 when he and his armour bearer took on the ...read more

    Why is it such a compliment to tell a woman she looks like a breath of spring, but not to tell her she looks like the end of hard winter? Isn’t it the same thing? Why does it please a woman to say time stands still when you look into her face, but not to say her face would stop a clock? Why do ...read more
