What does a crippled man from Lo-debar have to do with Easter??

For it is a vivid picture of our own condition before God: broken, in exile, and desperately in need of grace.

And yet, it is also a story of unexpected summons, of grace that seeks us out, and of a royal table where there is always a place reserved for us — not because of who we are…

…but because of Whose we are.

From the Guttermost to the Uttermost [2 Samuel 9:1-13]

April 4, 2010

Sermon Notes

Date: 04/04/2010, Easter Sunday

Preacher: Monty Simao, elder

Key Text: 2 Samuel 9:1-13

Description: Though you might not think of looking for the Easter Story in the Old Testament, God tells it beautifully through the life of Mephibosheth — a life that was filled with tragedy and shame.  In the end, however, he was lifted out of his lowly position and given a place at the king’s table.

Listen in as Elder Monty Simao shows us how the story of Mephibosheth and King David parallels man and the King of Kings.
