This is the fifth sermon in our new series "The Good Life" The title of this message is "Blessed Are The Merciful" Mary Getz is on the Preaching Team at The Gospel Tabernacle. October 5, 2025.
God is merciful to our unrighteousness.
In this Bible Story, Jesus gives an intense illustration about the true meaning of forgiveness and mercy through a servant and his master. That we must show forgiveness to others because we have been forgiven ourselves. This story is inspired by Matthew 18:21-35 & Luke 10:25-37. Go to BibleinaYear.com and learn the Bible in a Year.Today's Bible verse is Matthew 18:27 from the King James Version.Episode 200: As Jesus and His disciples were walking, Peter asked Him a question about forgiveness. In response, Jesus told him the story of a servant who owed his King an excessive amount of money. There was no way the servant could pay so he begged the King to spare him and the King forgave him his debt. But later, that same servant went out and found someone who owed him a very small amount of money. When the man begged for mercy, the servant had him thrown into prison. When the King found out about this, the servant who had his large debt forgiven was sent to be tormented in prison until his debt was paid.

Do you know what the very first word that God uses to describe Himself to Moses? Merciful. Would that be the first word that is used to describe Christians today? The answer is, well… no. And we need to talk about why. This week, we're continuing our Restorers series by looking at the centrality of mercy and compassion to our mission with Jesus – what it is, what it does, and why *our own* need for it lies at the heart of what God has calls us to in the world.

Sermon notes
Just the sound of the word “mercy” is a blessing to one receiving it and one giving it (because they need mercy). Let’s consider this great word.

And peace and blessings be upon the honour of the prophets and messengers.

What we'll see today is more evidence of the Holy Spirit's presence, and more evidence of man's unwillingness to acknowledge His presence. Peter called the people to account for this back then, and his words will remind us today, that acknowledgment begets faith, and faith begets worship and that's why we're here... to glorify and worship the Lord Jesus Christ.
In this homily The Rev. Dr. James E. Taylor, Rector of St. George Episcopal Church, discusses the readings for the day and how they show God's mercy toward His children even when we are undeserving. He also advises as to the things we should do as children of God.Send comments to: musingsonfaith@gmail.com.

Have you ever experienced something and later realized you'd been set up? That's exactly what's about to happen to Peter and John. They're on their way to the temple to pray and they come across a lame man begging for money. What happens at the Beautiful Gate served to give the people a vivid example of the presence and the power of The Holy Spirit.

In week 2 of our series, Church of the Living God, we dig into 1Timothy 1:12-17 to see three signs of God's mercy and how we canrespond to them to be the Merciful Church we're called to be.Paul was the best example of God's mercy. He literally killed Christians. In fact, he wasn't just the trigger man; he was the one planning and funding the killings! In light of what our nation is going through after the senseless assassination of Charlie Kirk, it is ok to be motivated by anger, but we are to move in mercy.Website:www.experienceredemption.comFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/experienceredemptionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/experienceredemption
“Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful.” Luke 6:36

The judgment on Rosh Hashanah is comprehensive: every single human has his or her moment of judgment before God. Even the dead are judged again each year. The judgment covers not only our behavior with respect to fulfilling our obligations to God, it also covers interpersonal matters. If we are meritorious, we will be forgiven for all our sins on Yom Kippur, but that atones only sins down between man and God. For interpersonal sins, we are not forgiven until we appease our friend and elicit their forgiveness. But these two domains are not entirely separate. In this short and sweet podcast sourced from the writings of my grandfather of blessed memory, we learn how important our interpersonal behavior is vis-a-vis our status before God. Now is the time to prepare.– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –DONATE: Please consider supporting the podcasts by making a donation to help fund our Jewish outreach and educational efforts at https://www.torchweb.org/support.php.

WAR ENDINGS NEITHER SWIFT NOR MERCIFUL: 7/8 Road to Surrender: Three Men and the Countdown to the End of World War II by Evan Thomas (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Road-Surrender-Three-Countdown-World/dp/0399589252 At 9:20 a.m. on the morning of May 30, General Groves receives a message to report to the office of the secretary of war “at once.” Stimson is waiting for him. He wants to know: has Groves selected the targets yet? So begins this suspenseful, impeccably researched history that draws on new access to diaries to tell the story of three men who were intimately involved with America's decision to drop the atomic bomb—and Japan's decision to surrender. They are Henry Stimson, the American Secretary of War, who had overall responsibility for decisions about the atom bomb; Gen. Carl “Tooey” Spaatz, head of strategic bombing in the Pacific, who supervised the planes that dropped the bombs; and Japanese Foreign Minister Shigenori Togo, the only one in Emperor Hirohito's Supreme War Council who believed even before the bombs were dropped that Japan should surrender. Henry Stimson had served in the administrations of five presidents, but as the U.S. nuclear program progressed, he found himself tasked with the unimaginable decision of determining whether to deploy the bomb. The new president, Harry S. Truman, thus far a peripheral figure in the momentous decision, accepted Stimson's recommendation to drop the bomb. Army Air Force Commander Gen. Spaatz ordered the planes to take off. Like Stimson, Spaatz agonized over the command even as he recognized it would end the war. After the bombs were dropped, Foreign Minister Togo was finally able to convince the emperor to surrender. To bring these critical events to vivid life, bestselling author Evan Thomas draws on the diaries of Stimson, Togo and Spaatz, contemplating the immense weight of their historic decision. In Road to Surrender, an immersive, surprising, moving account, Thomas lays out the behind-the-scenes thoughts, feelings, motivations, and decision-making of three people who changed history.
