Grace in a Barren Place
Looking at 2 Samuel 7, we found David enjoying a brief time of relief from the demands of his role as king…an interlude of quietness. Now we find him in a similar context. He was thinking back over his past.

The Grace of God
From 2 Samuel 9, Pastor Chuck Swindoll tells the remarkable story of Mephibosheth, a crippled outcast brought to eat at King David’s table as one of his own sons. In this obscure Old Testament story lives the clearest picture of how God’s grace works.
Amazing Grace on Display
Grace can mean unmerited favour—extending special favour to someone who doesn’t deserve it, who hasn’t earned it, and who can never repay it. Every once in a while, we come across a scene in Scripture and we stand amazed at such amazing grace.
Extending Grace Ever So Gently
Pastor Chuck Swindoll reviews a sweet example of gentle grace in 2 Samuel 9. Although King David could have thrown his weight around and removed the family of his predecessor, he did the opposite of the cultural norm and showed gentleness.
Undeserving, Yet Unconditionally Loved
Few individuals are better examples of grace than Mephibosheth, a forgotten and obscure man who was convinced he would live out his days in a wasteland. How wrong he was!
