Main Points7 Essentials for Biblical Community - 1 Samuel 18-20
- Be aware – God orchestrates circumstances and chemistry.

- Be honest– Share the last 10%.
- Be available– When crisis comes, “friends” arrive.
- Be loyal– Don’t “shrink back” when things “heat up.”
- Be vulnerable – Refuse to let fear or pride limit your relationships.
- Be spiritual – Help them become an r12 Christian every day in every way.
David and Jonathan’s covenant with God was the basis for their devotion to one another. - John 15:9-13
Jonathan and David’s relationship reveals that authentic community occurs when the real you meets real needs for the right reason in the right way. - Romans 12:9-13; John 17:21
