1 Samuel 18:1–4 | A Picture of Covenant Love

May 18, 2025

After David’s victory over Goliath, something unexpected happens—he gains not only the attention of the nation, but the heart of a friend. Jonathan, the son of Saul, forms a covenant with David that is marked by loyalty, sacrifice, and love.

This Sunday, we’ll look at this powerful friendship and how it points forward to something even greater—a covenant not just between two men, but between God and His people. We’ll see how Jonathan willingly gives up his robe, his sword, and his rights—just as Jesus gave up everything to secure our place in the family of God.

If you’ve ever longed for true friendship, struggled with loyalty, or wondered what covenant love really looks like—this message will speak to your heart.
