A Careful study of Romans 9:15 reveals a giant understanding of many passages about grace or favor. Paul quotes Exodus 34:19 where we can see what God told Moses in Hebrew and God did not say Mercy or compassion, God did say – Grace, Grace, Grace. Yes God expressing Himself says He will Be Gracious to whom he picks as His Favorites.

Erik Jones discusses Matthew 5:29-30—“If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell. And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell.”

This sermon, part of the "Forgotten Virtues" series, focuses on the powerful virtues of mercy and grace, reminding the church that although our culture leans toward cancelation and judgment, God's people are called to be radically different — extending mercy as God has done for us. Pastor Mike Burnette illustrates the biblical meanings of justice, mercy, and grace, emphasizing that while justice gives what is deserved, mercy withholds it, and grace gives what is undeserved — all modeled perfectly in Jesus Christ. Ultimately, the call is clear: since we have freely received grace and mercy, we must freely give it, living as reflections of God's character in our homes, workplaces, and communities.
When division and spiritual ignorance seem to be the order of the day, it can be difficult not to feel overwhelmed and helpless. Let us regroup together as we reflect and recharge around our common vision. Join us as we talk about our continued pursuit of becoming a place to belong and a place to know God.

In the fifth beatitude, Jesus names another characteristic of kingdom citizens: mercy. Far from being a spiritual gift only some receive, mercy isn't optional for believers—it's absolutely essential.Tune in to unpack what mercy is, what it's not, and the beautiful promise Jesus gives to the merciful.If you want to dig deeper into the themes of this episode, here are a few reflection questions and passages to consider:Read Matthew 9:9-13. What do you think Jesus means when He quotes Hosea, saying, “I desire mercy, and not sacrifice”?How did this episode confirm or challenge your understanding of God's mercy? How has God shown you mercy, stepping into your situation, this week?In what ways have you seen “bondage to triviality" in your life recently?Spend some time in prayer, asking God to search your heart. Then, explain the definition of mercy to someone you trust, who knows you well. Ask them if they consider you to be a merciful person. What insights did you glean from prayer and community?What steps can you take to cultivate mercy this week? Be specific.

Your Nightly Prayer
Today, as we slowly begin to settle into new routines after perhaps a slower, more spacious summer, I'm offering a simple reading of the Beatitudes, found at the very beginning of Jesus' Sermon on the Mount. As I read it, you're invited to listen and notice what you notice. Once the reading is through, I'll offer a few questions for reflection, as you consider the reminders God might have for you in this passage. I believe wholeheartedly that while these words were inspired and written a couple thousand years ago, God's Spirit is still inspiring us as its readers today. Feel free to pause, rewind, or revisit as you see fit. As always, I hope it serves you well.

In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus famously tells His disciples to "turn the other cheek." What did the Lord mean by that? Is this an invitation for all Christians to remain passive victims of abuse? Is this teaching permanent non-resistance against violence? Is this an absolute prohibition against defending yourself in light of the sinful aggression of others? Or, does the Lord perhaps have another intent in His teaching? In this episode, Dr. Sadaphal will exposit Matthew 5:39 in an attempt to help you think and act biblically. Devoting attention to a proper understanding of the Lord's words is crucial because this text is commonly misunderstood.
Join us today as we begin a discussion on what it means to be blessed by God. https://longhollow.com/theforgottenjesuspodcastshownotes
Jesus calls His followers to be salt and light in a world that's decaying and dark. As salt, Christians are called to be a purifying, preserving, and flavorful influence that prevents cultural decay. As light, believers are meant to shine visibly, helping others navigate to safety. Jesus fulfilled the Old Testament law perfectly, and through His grace, we can attain a righteousness that exceeds even the most religious efforts. The challenge for believers is to live authentically different lives that create spiritual thirst in others and point them toward Christ, influencing the world without being corrupted by it.
