6:00 PM ~ GRACE — 2 Samuel 9 Mephibosheth had every reason to fear the king. He was part of the old royal family, living in obscurity, carrying wounds from a painful past—and then came the message he dreaded: “The king wants to see you.” He expected judgment. Instead, he received kindness. He expected to lose his life. Instead, he was given a place at the king’s table.

Join us Sunday at 6:00 p.m. as we discover why Mephibosheth’s story is more than an interesting episode from the life of David. It’s a beautiful picture of the Gospel—and of the grace that changes where we belong.
