About this episode

This episode explores the concept of grace through the biblical story of David and Mephibosheth, illustrating how we are invited to God's table despite our brokenness.

In Romans 4, we’re reminded that we are made right with God not by what we do—but by faith in what Jesus has already done. But what does that kind of grace actually look like in real life? In this message, we turn to the story of David and Mephibosheth in 2 Samuel 9 to see a powerful picture of God’s grace in action. Mephibosheth was broken, hiding, and expecting judgment—but instead, he received an invitation to the king’s table.
