The Lame

Contributed by Derek Geldart on Jul 21, 2019

Helping The Handicapped

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 5, 2021

God in His sovereignty uses accidents and handicaps to change lives for good, but it does not mean that He wills everything, for then He would be the author of evil.

Joni Eareckson Tada is one of the most famous handicapped persons in the Christian world. She tells of a girl she knows named Betty who cannot speak, cannot walk, and cannot feed or dress herself. She has no control over her bowels or bladder, and needs constant care. She often wakes in the ...read more

The King Wants To See You

Contributed by Michael Stark on May 14, 2021

Christians, especially, must always remember those who have stood with them, honouring their memory and the kinship they have shared during hard times.

And the king said to him, ‘Are you Ziba?’ And he said, ‘I am your servant.’ And the ...read more

A Dead Dog Image

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 27, 2022

A dead dog is a very unpleasant image to think about. But, if any of us live in fear on a daily basis, the dead dog we see is ourselves. Mephibosheth had an encounter with fear; and thereafter, looked upon himself as a dead dog.

Back when I was in college, a friend and I used to go cave exploring as often as possible. Sometimes we went caving about twice a week. One evening we followed a lead for a new cave that we heard about, one that was in the top of a ridge and was supposed to be really huge. When someone tells you ...read more

Showing God’s Kindness Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Sep 6, 2022

David knew God’s kindness. He was not undisputed king because he deserved it, but because he of God’s kindness. What better way to respond to God’s kindness to him by showing another kindness. Mephibosheth once lived in favor in the royal family.

The most famous story of the life of King David is the David and Goliath story. Almost every Sunday school child could tell you that story. But what about David and Mephibosheth? It is not so well known. For one thing it is easier to stay Goliath than it is Mephibosheth. Just try to say ...read more

Giving Honor Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Aug 2, 2021

David chose to invite Mephibosheth to the king's table and took care of all his needs. Why would he do this and what can we learn from his example? Check out these thoughts from Scott Jewell, our Family Minister.
