046. [2 Samuel 9:1-13] David and Mephibosheth: For the Sake of a Friend
Mephibosheth is one of the few remaining descendants from the lineage of Saul and Jonathan. Dropped as an infant, Mephibosheth is crippled in both his feet, and is, in his own words, "a dead dog." But David honors a past covenant that he made with the house of Saul, and Mephibosheth is adopted into a new royal family. In this sermon on 2 Samuel 9, Paul David Tripp shows how this mini-story functions as a lens on the maxi-story of Redemption.Preached on December 28, 2008.
