Summary
Scripture tells us in Proverbs 27th chapter, it says, perfume and incense make the heart glad, but the sweetness of a friend is better than one's own counsel, or Proverbs 18 tells us. And so from today, until the end of October, each and every week, we're going to explore a different Friendship in Holy Scripture. Today, in sermon number one in this series, we look at it just a tremendous friendship, a friendship between David and Jonathan. Jonathan was quite a friend today, but in fact, to have a best friend like Jonathan, what a blessing. But interestingly, that word, it does double duty because not only is it the word for friend, it's also the word for neighbor. When today, we will gather and we will make lunches for those that are struggling in the union gospel mission, that's friendship love in the form of advocacy.
