His merciful kindness is great toward us. [NKJV]

"The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. He will not always chide, nor will he keep his anger forever. He does not deal with us according to our sins, nor repay us according to our iniquities." Psalm 103:8–10

Carelessness is out of control today. We see this manifest in how people drive, talk, shop, and act.  Other's carelessness can tempt us to be careless, too, but this is not how Jesus has us to act.

Fr. Mina speaks about the mercies of God. He explains how the devil tries to fight us with discouragement and how no matter what we do, it isn't pleasing to God. However, we often don't realize that there are a lot of things that we do that are pleasing to God. The more I am merciful to others, the more I enter into the heart of God, understand Him, and fall in love with Him more.

July 5, 2026 - Rev. Alexander S. Brown

Fr. Patrick preached this homily on July 8, 2026. The readings are from Hosea 10:1-3, 7-8, 12, Psalm 105:2-3, 4-5, 6-7, Matthew 10:1-7 (Wednesday of the Fourteenth Week in Ordinary Time).

Eric Johnson Matthew 5:7 Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. In this week's message on the fifth Beatitude, we explore what mercy really is, what it cost Jesus to extend it to us, and what it looks like to give it away.

All of us are searching for happiness in one form or another. some of us seek wealth or pleasures of this age and some seek fulfillment in family or work. However, the way of Jesus flows in the opposite direction. In Matthew 5, Jesus gives his "Sermon on the Mount" and lays out the way of the Kingdom of God. The first section of his sermon is often known as "the beatitudes" and lists those who are "blessed" (or "happy"). Can we find true happiness and fulfillment following the ways of this world and its age, or should we seek the counter-cultural way of Jesus?

Mike Darbandi continues our series on The Beatitudes looking at what it looks like to be merciful.

Live Sunday 9:30 am

Luke 6:35-42 | God has shown us great mercy. In his sermon on the plain, Jesus tells us to be merciful as our Heavenly Father as shown us mercy. But what does that look like? How do we do this? As we open our Bibles to Luke 6, we'll see dos, don'ts, and come to understand that we can only show this mercy by following Jesus well.

What does it really mean to be blessed? In a world that equates blessing with success, comfort, and status, Jesus offers a radically different vision. In this series, Blessed, we'll discover the surprising path to a life of deep joy, and purpose. Jesus redefines what it means to live under God's favor. This is an invitation to embrace a kingdom perspective—one that turns our assumptions upside down and forms us into people who reflect the heart of Jesus.

In Don't Write Back, Sam Fleury teaches from Matthew 5:7 on what it means to be merciful. This message explores why we often want justice for others and mercy for ourselves, how grace and mercy are different, and how followers of Jesus are called to forgive, release revenge, and live with active compassion.

In spite of a brilliant defense, Stephen suffers the death penalty (unjustly). The human tendency is to get fighting mad at those who threw their stones, but wait to see how Stephen reacted.

Those who have received mercy are in a place where they can remember what it was like when they were desperate and lost and in need. They remember mercy. And that mercy changes the way they treat everyone around them. Brett McDonald | Senior Pastor Matthew 5:7

Jesus is both our Sovereign Lord who knows our failures, but also our Merciful Lord who forgives us.

Father Hudgins' homily: Blessed Are the Merciful

Listen in as Pastor Scott breaks down this weighty chapter of scripture that foreshadows the sacrifice of Jesus and the power of the cross.

If your marriage would glorify God and would be a blessing to you and your spouse, your marriage should be characterized by mercy. Pastor Mitch will open the Bible to teach how our marriages can grow, marked by mercy across multiple areas.

God shows His grace and mercy to Samson for us to see that He will not be mocked, and He will not share His glory with false gods. God always gets the last word. -God is Patient but He Will Not Be Mocked-God is Merciful but He Will Not Share His Glory

Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. Matthew 5:7 Mercy = Not getting what YOU DESERVE. “To be let OFF THE HOOK.” Finally Pilate handed him over to them to be crucified. So the soldiers took charge of Jesus. CARRYING HIS OWN CROSS, he went out to the place of the Skull. John 19:16-17 For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23 The wages of sin is death. Romans 6:23 #1 Mercy CARRIES Mercy PICKS UP A WEIGHT someone else was supposed to CARRY THEMSELVES. Mercy is less about giving someone a piece of your MIND, and more about giving someone a piece of your HEART. Have I prioritized a relationship of mercy, or of justice? Two other men, both criminals, were also led out with him to be executed. When they came to the place called the Skull, they crucified him there, along with the criminals - one on his right, the other on his left. Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” Luke 23:32-34 #2 Mercy SEES. Mercy sees PEOPLE how God sees PEOPLE. Genesis 1:27 So God created man in his own image. Psalm 139:14 I praise you for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Jeremiah 1:5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you.”“There is not a square inch in the whole domain of our human existence over which Christ, who is Sovereign over all, does not cry,‘Mine!'” - Abraham Kuyper Mercy sees SOULS, not ISSUES. But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. 1 Peter 2:9 People aren't your PROBLEM, they're your CALLING. One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at Him: “Aren't you the Messiah? Save yourself and us!” But the other criminal rebuked him. “Don't you fear God,” he said, “since you are under the same sentence? We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.” Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” Jesus answered him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.” Luke 23:39-43 #3 Mercy FREES Mercy = FORGIVENESS For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. Romans 3:23-24 The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. Lamentations 3:22-23 You simply cannot be MERCIFUL if you cannot FORGIVE. If you can extend FORGIVENESS, God will overflow you with His MERCY.

Here are the promises we covered this week. Matthew 21:22 – God Answers Faith-Filled Prayers.  Psalm 145:9 – The Lord is Good and Merciful. Hebrews 13:20-21 – You Are Equipped by God. Jeremiah 1:5 – You Are Known by God. Colossians 1:21-22 – Holy and Blameless Before God.

Today's Promise: Psalm 145:9 In this episode, we explore the powerful promise of Psalm 145:9 and discover the unchanging goodness of God. So many people view God as distant, harsh, and judgmental, but Scripture reveals a very different picture. God is good as part of His character. Everything He does flows from that goodness. His mercy reaches across all creation, and His love is deeply personal for each of His children.   God's goodness is seen in salvation, in daily blessings, and in the grace He pours into your life every single day. Even in difficult seasons, His goodness never changes because God never changes.   Take a moment to reflect on the ways God has been faithful to you. As you remember His goodness, your faith will grow, your joy will increase, and your heart will be encouraged to trust Him more fully today.
