Message Notes:
DIRECTION
“No Solos”
Walk with the wise and become wise; associate with fools and get in trouble. Proverbs 13:20 (NLT)
The LORD says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you. Psalms 32:8 (NLT)
“If you've gotten anything at all out of following Christ, if his love has made any difference in your life, if being in a community of the Spirit means anything to you, if you have a heart, if you care— then do me a favor: Agree with each other, love each other, be deep-spirited friends.” Philippians 2:1-2 (MSG)
1. God’s direction gets CLEARER through godly friendships.
After David had finished talking with Saul, he met Jonathan, the king’s son. There was an immediate bond between them, for Jonathan loved David. From that day on Saul kept David with him and wouldn’t let him return home. And Jonathan made a solemn pact with David, because he loved him as he loved himself. Jonathan sealed the pact by taking off his robe and giving it to David, together with his tunic, sword, bow, and belt. 1 Samuel 18:1-4 (NLT)
2. God’s direction to be like Jesus is REFINED in godly friendships.
All the believers devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, and to fellowship, and to sharing in meals (including the Lord’s Supper), and to prayer. A deep sense of awe came over them all, and the apostles performed many miraculous signs and wonders. Acts 2:42-43 (NLT)
A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken. Ecclesiastes 4:12 (NLT)
…a sweet friendship refreshes the soul. Proverbs 27:9 (MSG) There are “friends” who destroy each other, but a real friend sticks closer than a brother. Proverbs 18:24 (NLT)
3. God’s direction is an invitation into deeper CONNECTIONS.
A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken. Ecclesiastes 4:12 (NLT)
