At The King’s Table | Receiving And Extending God’s Kindness | 2 Samuel 7–10 | CHAG | Shine Thomas

At The King’s Table | Receiving And Extending God’s Kindness | 2 Samuel 7–10 | City Harvest AG Church | Shine Thomas    • Sermon Series on 2 Samuel   Sermon Transcript : https://cityharvestag.com/sermons/rec... We live in a world that talks about kindness, yet often responds with suspicion and rejection. In this message from 2 Samuel 7–10, discover the covenant kindness of God and how it shaped the life and leadership of David. These chapters reveal three powerful scenes: • God’s kindness to David (2 Samuel 7) • David as a king shaped by God’s kindness (2 Samuel 8) • David’s kindness received by Mephibosheth and rejected by Hanun (2 Samuel 9–10) From these stories we learn a central truth: Those who receive God’s covenant kindness are called to reflect that kindness to others, even when it is misunderstood or rejected. This sermon explores: • What God’s kindness (hesed) truly means • How God has shown His kindness to us in Jesus Christ • How we receive grace like Mephibosheth • How to show kindness to the weak, forgotten, or hurting • How to respond when kindness is rejected without becoming bitter • How covenant kindness shapes Christian living If you have experienced hurt, rejection, or misunderstanding, this message invites you to the King’s Table, where grace restores and transforms.
