6. The Meal Of Mercy - Adrian Hurst

Oasis Church Birmingham: Talks

What does a good leader look like? This year, Oasis is exploring the life of King David - a leader in the Bible who was known as "a man after God's own heart". Ultimately, David's story is one which shows us that God is overflowing with kindness and generosity, that human frailty can’t derail his plans and his purposes, and that the one David’s life is pointing to even in his flaws and failures, the true King, Jesus, really is enough. This week, Adrian explores a curious encounter between David, his men, and some local priests, where David is given a meal of mercy in the form of the sacred 'bread of the presence' which rested on the altar. Together, we look at what it means to both receive the bountiful, generous mercy of God, and to then be released to share that with others.
