Jesus People: Better TogetherSample

Find Your People

Life can be hard. Deadlines. The calendar. Unexpected emergencies. When life sideswipes you, what do you do? Retreat or react? Do you always have a few people in your corner who know everything about you? Jesus has created us to have relationships that matter. Relationships that are authentic and transparent.

David had Jonathan. We see the story unfold in 1 Samuel. David kills Goliath and joins King Saul’s team. Jonathan and David become best friends. They even make a covenant together, promising their friendship. Saul turns his back on David, but Jonathan never turns his back on David. He is there along the way. He helps David. He encourages David. He is there the entire way. Jonathan and David become best friends. They even make a covenant together, promising their friendship. Saul turns his back on David, but Jonathan never turns his back on David. He is there along the way. He helps David. He encourages David. He is there the entire way.

Solomon talks about friendship using the illustration of rope. One strand can be broken, but three strands is very difficult to be broken. We all need people in our lives that can help us withstand the battle of life.

QUESTIONS:

Have you found your people? Do you have a Jonathan in your life?

What qualities are you looking for in a friendship?

Jesus, I pray that I can find my people. I pray that you put the right people around my life and I am able to discern who should be in my circle. In Jesus’ name, amen.
