1 Samuel 18:1-4

There are Biblical principles on how to Define and Discern Godly relationships. As believers, we honor God in how we choose and steward the associations entrusted to us. In this devotional, we walk through three principles: Defining, Discerning, and Disconnecting from ungodly connections that hinder our growth in Christ.

The God who made us placed within our hearts a longing for happiness and purpose, so we shouldn’t be surprised the Bible provides us with answers. Scholar and teacher Jonathan Pennington helps us to rediscover biblical Christianity as a whole-life philosophy, one that addresses our greatest human questions and equips us to live meaningful lives. This week, you will come to see God and Scriptures in an entirely new way.

In order for us to be God-honoring friends, we are encouraged to come to Jesus. It is because of the friendship we have in Him that we can be a God-honoring friend to someone else.

King David is described in the New Testament as a man after God’s own heart, meaning that he aligned his own heart with that of God’s. As we study David’s life, our goal for this series is to analyze the things David did in 1 & 2 Samuel in order to mold our hearts after God’s and resemble the same intensity of focus and spirit that David showcased throughout his life.
