Friendships for Real
BFF, can you remember this abbreviation. Remember, it stands for "best friends forever." Maybe you wrote it in your high school yearbook? Remember when you walked the halls of your school thinking that these fiends would be friends to the death? But, if I were to ask you what their names were, how many could you name? When was the last time you got together? And, your class reunions don't count! If you're like most people your high school fiends are just a blur from your past.
Moving on to college you made a whole new set of friends. And, in your college yearbook you probably inscribed BFF yet again. However, I could ask you the same questions I just asked about high school. How many names could you rattle off? When was the last time you saw them or hung out with them? You normally have more conact with college friends than your high school friends, but not much.
Moving on in life you got a job and made even more friends. You didn't have any book to inscribe BFF, but you thought of them that way. You thought you might be friends for a long time. But, then, you changed jobs, made new friends and the cycle went on again.
Friendships, how are they formed and how can we make them last? On Sunday we will look at the subject of frienships through the relationship of Jonathan and David. This godly friendship has been turned into something that it never was. It was a lasting friendship that was formed from two unlikely men.
If you are in town we would love to have you worship with us and study this aspect of David's life. What can we learn about friendship? Come to see.
