    "Contract Or Covenant?"

    Contributed by Jerry Depoy on Apr 30, 2004
    based on 19 ratings
     | 5,369 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

    based on 34 ratings
     | 8,841 views

    I ask the question, what motivates you as a Christian? What makes you do the things you do? I then make a contrast between David and Saul and ask, what motivated David to weep for a man who wanted to kill him, and what motivated Saul to pursue David.

    This is a sermon on friendship, suitable for "Friendship" Sunday.

    Turn with me to 1 Samuel 18. Read 1 Samuel 18:1-5. This is one of the classic passages in the Bible about friendship. The friendship of Jonathan and David reached legendary proportions. The one thing that made their friendship unique is the fact that Jonathan was the heir-apparent to the ...read more

    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

    I begin tonight 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.

    This sermon addresses the effect of our "wakes" in our relationships, i.e. how our behavior and attitudes affect those around us in our homes, workplaces, neighborhoods, friendships and extended families.

    I’m so excited about this series we’re starting today. We’ve entitled it No Wake Zone. We’ve done that for a real specific reason. This is a relationship series, but we want to do a visual of what healthy relationships are really like. I think if we could see it first, then we could begin to ...read more
