Covenant Friendship

July 19, 2026
Stephen McHarg explores the covenant friendship between David and Jonathan in 1 Samuel 20, showing that true biblical friendship is marked by steadfast loyalty, costly sacrifice, and faithful protection, especially in times of crisis. He ultimately presents Jonathan as a foreshadowing of Christ, the perfect friend who stands with his people, chooses sacrifice over comfort, intercedes on their behalf, and calls believers to reflect that same covenant love toward one another.
