Title: Transformation & Relationships (4)
Series: Transformation
Author: Josh Malone
Text: 1 Sam. 23:15-18
Transformation series: Week 1- Conversion, Week 2- The Holy Spirit, Week 3- The Word... this week I want to talk about the role of relationships and community. God uses people to reach people, and He continues to use people in the lives of people.
Today I want to take you to the OT and talk about the role of God-Centered, Christ exalting relationships in our pursuit of Christ likeness. I want to do this by examining one such relationship, the one between David and Jonathan.
Background: David was the second King of Israel. The first king was Saul. Saul turned out not to be a good king. He disobeyed God and ultimately had his kingdom taken from him and given to David, a man after God's own heart the Bible teaches. Saul had a son named Jonathan. He was Saul's oldest son and as such he was the one who would inherit the kingdom from Saul. David and Jonathan from that perspective seem like unlikely friends... the young man in line to be king and the young man God has chosen to make king instead. How they met...
1 Sam. 17:57-58- And as soon as David returned from the striking down of the Philistine, Abner took him, and brought him before Saul with the head of the Philistine in his hand. [58] And Saul said to him, "Whose son are you, young man?" And David answered, "I am the son of your servant Jesse the Bethlehemite."
1 Sam. 18:1-5- As soon as he had finished speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was knit to the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul. [2] And Saul took him that day and would not let him return to his father's house. [3] Then Jonathan made a covenant with David, because he loved him as his own soul. [4] And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was on him and gave it to David, and his armor, and even his sword and his bow and his belt. [5] And David went out and was successful wherever Saul sent him, so that ...
