    A POSITION IN THE PALACE 2 Samuel 9:1-13 - 2 Samuel 9:32 3 Then the king said, “Is there not still someone of the house of Saul, to whom I may show the (unfailing, unsought, unlimited) kindness of God?” And Ziba said to the king, “There is still a son of Jonathan who is lame in his feet.” 2 ...read more

    The story of Mephibosheth is a perfect illustration of the Gospel. I used this sermon on a "Friend Day" when we expected many visitors.

    Introduction: A. Today I want to tell the story of a man named Mephibosheth. 1. Now there’s a name for you! Anyone want to use that name for their son? 2. It’s so hard to pronounce that I thought about giving him a nickname for today. 3. I thought about just calling him “M.” 4. Then I thought ...read more

    We all need the healing kindness of God because it’s rare to find it in the world around us. However, when you see God’s loving kindness working through others, it causes you to stop and take notice because it provides a glimpse into heaven and makes the

    Surprised By Grace

    based on 38 ratings
     | 54,083 views

    "Surprised by Grace" is an exposition of 2 Samuel 9 in which David reaches out in kindness to Mephibosheth for the sake of his father, Mephibosheth. David's kindness is read as a parable of the amazing grace of God that saves unworthy sinners.

    SURPRISED BY GRACE 2 Samuel 9 “O Lord, who shall sojourn in your tent? Who shall dwell in your holy hill?” David begins Psalm 15 with these probing questions. The body of the psalm answers these opening questions. It describes that character and conduct of the person who pleases God. ...read more

    There is hope for everyone of us because “when there is life, there is hope” and a dead person, whatever important and noble he could have been cannot change anything.

    Introduction: Dog was one of the most an unclean and despicable creature to the Jews; but a living one is better than a lion that is dead already. The most despicable living man’s state is preferable to that of the mot noble that has died impenitent. Thus it is better to be a live coward than a ...read more

     | 37,711 views

    Mephibosheth is a type of the redeemed sinner, who is lifted from exile, poverty, and separation to favor, a vast inheritance, and inclusion in the royal family. "Those called ‘not my people,’ will be called 'children of the Living God!'"

    MEPHIBOSHETH FROM LODEBAR 2 Sam. 9:1-13 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Two robins were sitting in a tree. "I'm really hungry," said the first one. "Me too," said the second.

    I want to talk of a ‘dinner table’ where a king had the grandson of his dreadful enemy, who pursued to kill him for several years sit with him in his dinner table in the palace along with his entire family everyday of his life.

    Dinner table! Mephibosheth! 2 King 9:13”So Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem, for he ate continually at the king's table. And he was lame in both his feet.” There’s lot of whirl and bustle after a ‘big bash’ is fixed! Who to invite! A big list is prepared keeping in ...read more

     | 36,120 views

    Grace is a dirty word for the devil. It's the power behind the gospel - not creed, religion, philosophy. Grace is God reaching somebody like me - God's favor that is unearned, undeserved, unrepayable. We see it in David's encounter with Mephibosheth.

    Initiate kindness. Kindness transforms. We are all Mephibosheth before God. Let the kindness of God flows through us.

    Kindness is a language the dumb can speak, the deaf can hear, and the blind can see (Mark Twain). You don’t have to say it, people know when it is there. • Kindness is more than just loving people. It is loving people more than they deserve. Kindness is ‘going the extra ...read more
