Lame at the Kings Table

Pastor Justin Wells

"We believed God could do it for somebody else, but we struggled to believe He could do it for us."

2 Samuel 4:4, 9:1-13

Key Points:

• What does lame mean?

  • Lame means not strong, good, or effective

• History Lesson: Mephibosheth, Jonathan, and Saul. David allowed the lame man to eat at his table.

  • Listen to the podcast for full story!

• "We have all been not effective or not strong enough, many times."

• 2 Samuel 9:7, "...Thou shalt eat bread at my table continually."

  • This is a promise.

• 2 Samuel 9:10, "... Mephibosheth thy master's son shall eat bread alway at my table."

  • No matter your struggle, "Oh taste and see that the Lord is good".

• 2 Samuel 9:11, "...He shall eat at my table, as one of the King's sons".

  • David showed the same nature of the Father in the story of the Prodigal Son.

• 2 Samuel 9:13, "...he did eat continually at the King's table".

  • He stepped into the promise the King made to him.

• The King's table is still open. No matter what's coming against you, the Lord always has a seat for you at His table.

• Think about this: "Have you ever been weak, ineffective, wounded, or unable to move forward as you should?"

  • Lame in our commitment-

  • Lame in our faith-

  • Lame because of our past-

  • Lame because of what somebody else did to us-

  • Lame because we simply didn't have the strength to do what was right-

• Do not let the devil whisper in your ear saying, "You can't ever change," when the King of kings still has a seat at his table for you.

• Psalm 34:8

The King is calling!
