New Bridge Church - Pastors Jeff Lyle & Dustin Pennington

Preached By: Jeff Lyle Preached On: 03/11/2020 Description: "It is said that our true character is revealed by how we treat people who have nothing to offer us. King David was the most powerful man in the land, and all his enemies had been removed by God. His staunchest enemy, Saul, was dead after spending more than a decade ruining David’s life. David had promised Saul’s son, Jonathan, to treat Jonathan’s family with kindness after David took the throne. But Jonathan had died. Most kings would typically wipe out all the male descendants of the previous king, but David had a different spirit. In this impacting message, we see from David what it means to use all our strength, authority and privilege to benefit others - especially those who have absolutely nothing to offer us in return. David may have been entitled to revenge, but he chose mercy instead. From this choice, we find one of the most beautiful examples of active grace anywhere in the Bible." Partner With Us!
