Episode Synopsis

This sermon centres on the transformative grace of God as illustrated through David's restoration of Mephibosheth, Saul's disabled grandson. It emphasises that God's kindness is not based on human merit but on covenant faithfulness, reflecting the heart of Christ who calls sinners by name and restores them to intimate fellowship. The story portrays the Christian life as one of identity renewal—being welcomed at God's table, adopted as a son, and granted dignity despite ongoing struggles. Though Mephibosheth remained lame, his position at the king's table symbolises the believer's eternal security and privilege in Christ, even amid earthly hardships. The message calls listeners to respond in humility, abandoning self-reliance and embracing grace, knowing that God sees, names, and invites all who are lost to come home.
