2 Samuel 5:
9 And David lived in the stronghold and called it the city of David. 
And David built the city all around from the Millo inward. 10 And David
became greater and greater, for the Lord, the God of hosts, was 
with him.
Encounter makes you a bigger person
Encounter takes you to a bigger place!
11 And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees,
also carpenters and masons who built David a house. 12 And David 
knew that the Lord had established him king over Israel, and that he
had exalted his kingdom for the sake of his people Israel.
Encounter makes you a bigger person
Encounter takes you to a bigger place!
Encounter is for more than you!
Colossians 2
6 Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in 
him, 7 rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as 
you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.
Romans 4
4 Now to the one who works, his wages are not counted as a gift but 
as his due.5 And to the one who does not work but believes in[a] him 
who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness, 6 just
as David also speaks of the blessing of the one to whom God counts 
righteousness apart from works:
7 “Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven,
    and whose sins are covered;
8 blessed is the man against whom the Lord will not count his sin.”
Ephesians 2
8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not 
your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that 
no one may boast.
 
2 Samuel 9
And David said, “Is there still anyone left of the house of Saul, that I 
may show him kindness for Jonathan's sake?” 2 Now there was a 
servant of the house of Saul whose name was Ziba, … and Ziba said
to the king, “There is still a son of Jonathan; he is crippled in his 
feet.”  
5 Then King David sent and brought him from the house of Machir 
the son of Ammiel, at Lo-debar. 6 And Mephibosheth the son of 
Jonathan, son of Saul, came to David and fell on his face and paid 
homage. And David said, “Mephibosheth!” And he answered, 
“Behold, I am your servant.” 
7 And David said to him, “Do not fear, for I will show you kindness for
the sake of your father Jonathan, and I will restore to you all the 
land of Saul your father, and you shall eat at my table always.” 8 And
he paid homage and said, “What is your servant, that you should 
show regard for a dead dog such as I?”
11 So Mephibosheth ate at David's table, like one of the king's sons. 
 13 So Mephibosheth lived in Jerusalem, for he ate always at the king's
table. Now he was lame in both his feet.
Encounter seats us at the Kings table!
Ephesians 1
18 having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know 
what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of 
his glorious inheritance in the saints, 19 and what is the 
immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who 
believe, according to the working of his great might 20 that he worked
in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his 
right hand in the heavenly places,
Ephesians 2:6
5 even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together
with Christ—by grace you have been saved— 6 and raised us up with 
him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
