The Life of David (pt6) - Covenant With the King, Life For the Lame

May 17, 2026    Simon Bardone

In the kingdoms of this world, there’s always a struggle for a place at the table.

If I give up my place in line, me and my tribe may be left out indefinitely.

But life in God’s kingdom is virtually the opposite!

When I give up my rights in obedience to (and love for) King Jesus, 

what may initially feel like losing my life actually becomes the beginning of gaining true life - truly living in freedom and joy and abundance and generosity!

And not just for me, but for the world around me – even creation itself! 

And... Especially for those who grow up convinced that their lame, a dead dog, for sure not getting invited to the dinner party, not worth being loved.

But a covenant with the king means new life for the lame.


And that’s the tale of Jonathan and David.
