Kindness
May 14, 2023 Speaker: Jordan Gowing Series: 2 Samuel | A Better King
Topic: Sunday Morning Teaching Passage: 2 Samuel 9:1–13
What can the life of King David teach us about the heart of God in the gospel? Join us at CrossWinds Church in Spencer as we consider the answer from 2 Samuel 9.
Sermon Discussion
- How familiar were you with this story before this week?
- What is one takeaway from the sermon and one question that you had after hearing the sermon?
- Read Deuteronomy 7:9. In our sermon “kindness” was defined this way: “[Kindness in the Old Testament] is a rock-solid commitment to act and live in a certain way.” How does God describe himself in Deuteronomy 7? How does this help us understand what “kindness” looks like?
- Read 2 Samuel 9:3–4; Ephesians 2:1–4. What do these verses reveal to us about Mephibosheth’s sorry state when David calls for him? What do the verses from Ephesians reveal about our sorry state before Jesus?
- Read 2 Samuel 9:7. What are the three things David promises to Mephibosheth? What is the significance of each?
- Read Ephesians 2:4–7; Romans 5:10; Ephesians 2:4–7; Romans 8:31–32, 38–39. What are the parallels between 2 Samuel 9 and the gospel?
- What would an appropriate response to 2 Samuel 9 be this week?
