#RelationshipGoals - Friendship Goals

Discuss

Are you a confrontational or non-confrontational person? What are the pros and cons of that for you?

Who was your 1st best friend? How did you meet them? Do you still talk with them today?

Study

2 Samuel 12:1-25
David was king, no one had the right to stop him from doing what he wanted. So, why would David try to hide his actions?

David doesn’t recognize the clear way that Nathan’s story is about him. What do you think of this disconnect David is exhibiting? Do you think people tend to disassociate themselves from their bad actions? Why?

What do you think of David’s response when he fully recognizes his sin? Is it enough?

Psalm 51
What does the process of repentance look like in this story?
How does this psalm of confession and repentance relate to the story in the previous passage?
How is forgiveness a powerful idea? Why do you think it is central to the Christian faith?
How have you seen the power of forgiveness in your own life?

What’s Next

Chad said, “God designed relationships for our good, but not all relationships are good for us.” What do you think he meant? Have you ever experienced this?

Who do you have in your life right now that will speak truth to you when you need to hear it? Why is this important?

We need to have friends who will stand with us. Who in your life has stood with you when you needed them to?

Prayer

Father, thank you for friends who will speak truth into my life. Help me to be the type of friend that will stand with my friends and point them to you!

”He who walks with the wise grows wise, but a companion
of fools suffers harm.”

–Proverbs 13:20 | NIV84
