Covenant Loyalty in a Convenient World I 1 Samuel 20:1-23

In a world where promises are disposable and convenience outweighs commitment, 1 Samuel 20 stands as a powerful testimony to covenant loyalty. As Saul’s jealousy rages and David runs for his life, Jonathan remains faithful—not out of comfort or convenience, but because of covenant. His steadfast hesed love points us to Christ, the true and better Friend, whose covenant never fails. This message calls us to rediscover what holds our marriages, friendships, and church relationships together when the fire comes. Faithfulness is tested in the heat, proven by courage, and sustained by confidence in the covenant-keeping God.
