The Kindness of The King | Josh Butler

We live in a world that prizes performance, pedigree, and power—yet deep down, most of us still wrestle with feeling unseen or unworthy. The story of Mephibosheth flips all of that upside down. David, now king, seeks out the last living son of his former enemy—not to punish him, but to show him kindness. In a single moment, a crippled exile from “Lo Debar” (“no place”) is carried into the palace, seated at the royal table, and treated like a son. This is what the kindness of King Jesus looks like. He searches for the broken, the forgotten, the ones hiding in the wilderness of shame, and He carries us home to His table. The gospel isn’t about climbing your way to God—it’s about being found, lifted, and loved by Him. Join us as guest preacher Joshua Ryan Butler explores how the King’s kindness restores our destiny, overcomes our fear and pride, and teaches us to extend that same kindness to others.
