Taking it further to help you THRIVE…

THRIVE Groups are where life and growth take place. We don’t want to just say “See you next week” as we leave each Sunday - we want to connect!
For more info on joining a THRIVE Group, visit thrivekg.org/thrive-groups.

1. Looking back at your notes from this week’s teaching, was there anything that particularly caught your attention, challenged, or confused you?

2. What does David mean when he said he wanted to show kindness “for Jonathan’s sake” (verse 1)? (Refer back to 1 Samuel 20 for some help.)

3. Consider the significance of Ziba in this account. In what ways are we to be like him?

4. What is the significance of the writer’s two clear mentions (vv.3,13) of Mephibosheth’s disability? Where does this fit into our salvation story?

5. What are some reasons Mephibosheth would have been afraid to come into King David’s presence? What are some reasons people today are ‘afraid’ to come to Jesus?

6. So often today we hear people tell us we are worthy / we ‘deserve it’. Contrast this thinking with how Mephiobosheth sees himself in verse 8. As this chapter is so much about our coming to / being brought to salvation in Jesus, how should we approach Jesus?

7. In what ways did the kindness shown by David change Mephibosheth’s life? In what ways does the kindness of God through Jesus Christ change our lives?
