Sermon - Jeff Raines - The Power of Friendship [1 Samuel 17:57-18:5]

In 1 Samuel 17:57- 18:5, we see David go from a solitary man to a man with a friend.
Today's technology has us more connected than ever but at the same time, we have become more isolated than ever before. We are experiencing what some have called a "friendship recession."
What can we learn from David and Jonathan?
-Before David was friends with Jonathan, David was friends with God. God should be at the heart of our relationships.
-Friends give and help encourage and correct us on the right paths.
We have so many choices for how to spend our time, but can we go out and inconvenience ourselves to risk friendship? We need friends more than ever!
David was "a man after God's own heart," willing to join his heart with God and with others.
