Grace Matters (14 of 19)
Series: Heart Matters

2 Samuel 9
David has come to the zenith of his kingly career. He is moving from victory to victory to victory. These are indeed good years for David. The question comes-what next?

Paul rejoicing in the grace of God said, ''By the grace of God I am what I am.'' So, when you study the New Testament this great truth of grace is found over and over again. I believe that the story of David and what he did for this crippled young man Mephibose ...
