2 Samuel 9:1-8
Today we are continuing our Destination series. Over the past three weeks we've been looking at the life of David. God has a destination for the life of every person, and God has a destination for our church. We've been discovering that destination, the place God is taking us. I'm excited as we talk about the grace of God-the amazing grace of God!
If you don't understand the grace of God, you really don't understand who God is. It's impossible to understand God apart from His grace. It's the way a perfect, holy God receives a sinful person.
I believe this message is especially pertinent to our culture and to our society, because everywhere we turn there is un-grace, a lack of grace. We see condemnation. We see judgment. We see it on the left, we see it on the right, we see it among the people and places of our stratosphere: un-grace. But God has a different plan for us. God wants us to understand His grace, and when the grace of God invades someone's life, it is contagious. We cannot help but give it and express it to others. King David understood that. David was acquainted with the grace of God. In today's story we see the grace of God unfolding in the life of an unlikely individual. His name is Mephibosheth.
Many people love Bible names. Peter, James and John were Jesus' disciples. Saul, David and Solomon were kings. Joseph, Abraham and Jacob were Old Testament heroes. Maybe I could add one more to the list-Mephibosheth. If you are expecting, this would make a great name for a boy. If you have a girl you could call her ''Phibby'' for short. It's a difficult name to spell and even more difficult to pronounce. But it's a great, powerful name. In Scripture it is synonymous with the grace of God.
David is the second king of Israel. The first king was Saul, but he was sort of crazy. He was a nut case. He liked to go his own way, and he forgot about the ways of God. The ...
