    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.

    "Contract Or Covenant?"

    Contributed by Jerry Depoy on Apr 30, 2004
    based on 19 ratings
     | 5,910 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

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.

    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

     | 8,898 views

    Saul and David illustrate the differences between true and false success in life.

    If there is a quote that I count among my favorites, it is the quote from George W. Truett, who said that “True success is knowing God’s will and being in the center of it.” Implied in that quote is that there is a type of success that is true and another that is false. In this ...read more
