"It's a story that makes grace come alive. In this story, kindness means more than just being nice to someone" Christianity made kindness notorious for its lethal power. ("Kill 'em with kindness" came from Christ long before Selena made it a hit song.) But kindness should also be recognized for its redemptive power as well. God's grace elevates kindness from "just being nice" to becoming alive. In this episode, https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/staff/keith-simon/ (Keith) explains how David's kindness in the Old Testament foreshadows God's grace in the New Testament. Hear how David exemplifies five tenants of God's grace as we continue our series of https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/podcast-series/david-in-22-stories/ (David in 22).
