today on Summit Life with Chitty Greer.

Do for the one what you wish you could do for the many.

You cannot show this kind of extravagance to everybody.

David could not invite every person in the kingdom without a family

to come and sit at his table as one of his sons.

So do for the one what you wish you could do for the many. Welcome to another week of solid biblical teaching from Pastor J.D. Greer here on Summit Life.

As always, I'm your host Molly Vittevich.

Last time on the program, we heard a lesser known story

about King David and his desire to bless someone

many would have considered his enemy.

What we learned is that David understood he had been the recipient of extravagant grace,

and he felt compelled to find someone to whom he could show that same kind of generosity.

Today, Pastor Jady helps us understand that before we can become generous like David was

towards Mefibicheth, we must first recognize the generosity of Christ

towards us and how the truth of the Gospel transforms the way we see others.

So let's rejoin Pastor J.D. in 2nd Samuel, Chapter 9.

This is a precious little chapter that captures the heart of the gospel in one simple story. If you remember last week, 2nd

Samuel 7, David had been the recipient of extraordinary generosity. David had

tried to build a house for God but God had said no David this whole deal is not about you giving to me

No this is about me giving to you. You're not going to build me a house David. I'm going to build you one and my promise to you and to your sons and to all of Israel is unconditional

which means that when you and your family and Israel fails to keep your promises to me, I'm still going to keep minding you.

I'm going to put my spirit permanently into you and I'm going to send a Messiah who is going to die
