Sermon Overview
Using the story of David and Mephibosheth from 2 Samuel 9, Reidhead illustrates the "Kindness of God." He shows how the King seeks out the "lame" and the "hiding" to restore them to a place of honor "for Jonathan's sake." The sermon emphasizes that our place at the Lord’s Table is based entirely on the merits of Another, and that while our "feet are still lame" (our nature is still flawed), we are fully accepted in the King's presence.
Key Principles
Covenant Kindness:Realize you are invited to the King’s table for the sake of Another (Christ), not your own merit.
Mephibosheth Type:Identify with the "broken and hiding" Mephibosheth; accept God's invitation to come home.
Lo-debar: Recognize your independent life as a "place of no pasture"; flee to the King's palace.
The Great Exchange:Trade your "hiding in the fields" for a permanent seat at the Table of the King.
Acceptance in Another:Stop trying to "fix your feet" to earn a place at the table; accept your seat based on Christ’s merit.
High Privilege: Maintain a heart of deep "humility" while enjoying the "high privilege" of intimacy with God.
Perpetual Seat: Rest in the "permanence" of your place at the King’s table; He will never cast you out.
