Week 4: Be a Man in Community

Jonathan and David are considered one of the strongest friendships in the Bible. In fact, their friendship changed the course of history – Jonathan helped to comfort David in spite of his difficult circumstances, and David would grow to be one of Israel’s best kings, a ‘man after God’s own heart.’

In fact, Christ's own genealogy would be founded in David. Here we even see them talking about their children being friends for generations – our friendships, if we commit time and effort to them, can change the world for generations to come. We just need to have a longer perspective instead of focusing on the ‘inconvenience’ it seems to be to go out of our way to continue friendships.
