Friends Who Love Deeply

Title: Friends Who Love Deeply
Text: 1 Samuel 18:1-4
Speaker: Pastor Kevin Deyette

Notes:

Friends Who Shape Us Have:
1. A love that bonds them to us (verse 1)
2. A love that commits them to us (verse 3)
3. A love that costs (verse 4)

• "Love always costs something. If it doesn't, it's not love." -Elizabeth Elliot

• "Jonathan's friendship bracketed the evil caused by Saul." - Eugene Peterson

Summary: God uses spiritually bonded, committed friendships to help carry out His plans for our lives.

The question is not- who is gonna be my Jonathan? The question is- who am I gonna be a Jonathan to?

• "The only way to have a friend- is to be one." Ralph Waldo Emerson
