Ever felt like there isn’t a seat for you with God? In 2 Samuel 9, David does the unthinkable—he brings Mephibosheth to the king’s table and treats him like a son. This message shows how grace doesn’t just forgive; grace makes a place. If you’ve wrestled with shame, stigma, or feeling “less than,” this is for you.

What you’ll learn:

How David’s invitation points to Jesus’ invitation to us

Why grace restores identity and belonging—not just status

Practical ways to make space for others at your “table” (home, work, church)

Scripture: 2 Samuel 9:1–13

Series: Grace & Grit — Grace (unmerited favor). Grit (the will and faith to press on).

Bottom line: Grace doesn’t just pardon you—it seats you.

If this encouraged you, share it with someone who needs to know they still have a seat.

Ever felt like things were too far gone to be restored? Ezekiel 37:1–14 is a powerful reminder that nothing is beyond God’s ability to bring back to life. In this vision, God takes Ezekiel to a valley of dry bones — a picture of hopelessness — and breathes new life into them, turning them into a mighty army. It’s a message of restoration, renewal, and resurrection. No matter how dry or lifeless things may feel, God can breathe life into what seems dead. Hold on to hope — He’s still in the business of revival. 🙌💨💀➡️🦴➡️🧍‍♂️🔥 #ValleyOfDryBones #GodRestores #Ezekiel37 #NewPostChurch #lovegod #lovepeople #MakeADifference #fredericksburgva #fxbgva #fredericksburg #fxbg #spotsylvaniava #jesus #joinusnextweek

A special treat for you, Guest Pastor Dave Sylvain reminded us through Ezekiel Chapter 3 that we are called to be faithful messengers, not passive observers. Just as God appointed Ezekiel to warn and guide others regardless of their response, Pastor Dave challenged us to give more than we receive—pouring out encouragement, truth, and love even when it’s not returned. He showed us that spiritual responsibility means showing up for others, speaking life, and serving sacrificially. Like Ezekiel, we may not always see results, but our obedience and generosity reflect the heart of God.
