The Kindness of a King

April 30, 2025

2 Samuel 19

In this week’s Chapel message, we explore 2 Samuel 19 and the beautiful picture of mercy and kindness King David extends to Shimei. As David returns to Jerusalem after the rebellion of Absalom, he encounters the very man who once cursed him—and instead of condemnation, David offers forgiveness. Tying this powerful moment to the kindness of Christ, the message reminds us that a little bit of kindness can go a long way. Whether you're in need of grace or offering it to someone else, this message will stir your heart toward Jesus, our kind and merciful King.
