Shepherd King Series | "Keeping Our Promises" | 2 Samuel 9:1-13

In this message, we dive into 2 Samuel 9 and the powerful message behind the story of David and Mephibosheth, highlighting the importance of keeping our promises. David, a man of integrity, shows incredible kindness to the house of Saul, fulfilling his word to Jonathan by extending grace to Mephibosheth. This act mirrors God’s grace towards us, even when we feel unworthy.
Key Points:
1. David's kindness is rooted in the love God had shown him.
2. Mephibosheth, poor and fearful, experiences grace and restoration at the King’s table.
3. This story reminds us of God’s kindness, based on covenant, that seeks us out even before we seek Him.
We are Mephibosheth-weak, lost, and separated from the King until He calls us into His presence. Yet, through God's grace, we are restored, regaining what was lost in our hiding, and invited to sit at His table, where we are treated as His sons and daughters. Just as David showed kindness to Mephibosheth, we are called to extend that same grace to others, especially to those who are poor, weak, and undeserving.
Let's reflect on how we can show God’s love and kindness to those around us today.
