Podcasts about mercy god

If you've ever felt like God's love for you goes up and down based on your performance, this teaching is for you. In this episode, we dive into the Old Testament word chêsed—often translated as “mercy,” “lovingkindness,” or “steadfast love.” You'll discover how God's covenant love remains loyal, faithful, and committed even when we are not.

In a world desperate for clarity, this episode explodes the myth that love and strength are mutually exclusive. What does it really mean to stand up for justice, protect the innocent, and live with biblical courage in today's chaos? You won't find superficial answers here — only raw truth that shakes the core of what it means to be a Christian man in a war zone. The Bible reveals a God who fights — fiercely, justly, and with unmatched wisdom. From the parting of the Red Sea to the wrath of Jericho's walls, God's strength defies our convenience and comfort. And Jesus? The Lamb who confidently flips tables and steps into dangerous situations because love demands action. So, when is violence justified? How do we, as men, follow His example without falling into rage or cowardice? We break down: The character of God as a warrior—presence and protection in times of battle Christ's example of boldness and restraint in a fallen world How to discern when to stand firm and when to turn the other cheek The deadly trap of passive Christianity that silences truth The responsibility and cost of righteous action in a hurting world This isn't about guns or chaos — it's about the heart behind the fight. The stakes? Eternal souls, family, community—our very identity as men made in His image. If you're a man who yearns to live with integrity, purpose, and biblical strength, this episode is your battle plan. It will challenge everything you think you know about violence, love, and leadership. Because following Jesus means more than peace as a result, but how to bring it about — it means sometimes, fighting for justice, for righteousness, and for those who cannot defend themselves.

Today’s Bible Verse: “When he hesitated, the men grasped his hand and the hands of his wife and of his two daughters and led them safely out of the city, for the Lord was merciful to them.” — Genesis 19:16 (NIV) Genesis 19:16 is a powerful picture of God’s mercy in motion. Even when Lot hesitated, unsure or slow to respond, the Lord’s compassion did not waver. God didn’t wait for perfect faith or flawless obedience—He stepped in and led them to safety. “Want to listen without ads?

Welcome to Day 2760 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2760 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 103:7-18 – Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2760 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2760 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. The Title for today's Wisdom-Trek is: The Geometry of Grace – As High as the Heavens, As Far as the East. Today, we continue our ascent up the magnificent peak of Psalm One Hundred Three. We are exploring the heart of the psalm, verses seven through eighteen, in the New Living Translation. In our previous trek, we heard King David preaching a sermon to his own soul. He commanded himself to "Bless the Lord" and not to forget His benefits. We listed those benefits: He forgives all sins, heals all diseases, redeems us from the Pit, and crowns us with love and tender mercies. It was a celebration of what God does. But today, David goes deeper. He moves from God's acts to God's nature. He asks the question: Why does God do these things? What is it about His character that makes Him forgive a sinner like me? In this section, David gives us the definitive theology of the heart of God. He takes us back to the mountain of Sinai to hear God's own description of Himself. He uses the vastness of the cosmos to measure God's love. And then, he looks at us—frail, dusty, fleeting humanity—and explains why God's response to our weakness is not judgment, but fatherly compassion. So, let us stand in awe as we measure the dimensions of grace. The First Segment is: The Magna Carta of Mercy: God's Self-Revelation. Psalm One Hundred Three: verses seven through eight. He revealed his character to Moses and his deeds to the people of Israel.  The Lord is compassionate and merciful, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love. David begins by grounding his praise in history. He isn't guessing what God is like; he is remembering what God said. "He revealed his character to Moses and his deeds to the people of Israel." Specifically, David is quoting Exodus Thirty-four, verse six. This moment occurred right after the Golden Calf incident—Israel's great act of spiritual adultery. Moses asked to see God's glory, and God passed by and proclaimed His name. This declaration in verse eight—"The Lord is compassionate and merciful, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love"—is the most quoted verse in the entire Old Testament. It is the Jewish Creed of Grace. Let's break down these four pillars of God's heart: Compassionate (Rachum): Related to the word for "womb." It describes a mother's visceral feeling for her helpless infant. Merciful (Chanun): Meaning gracious, generous, giving favor that is undeserved. Slow to Get Angry (Erek Apayim): Literally, "Long of Nose." In Hebrew idiom, anger was associated with a hot nose or snorting. To be "long of nose" means it takes a long time for God's nose to get hot. He has a very long...

At the cross, God's mercy meets the sinner—offering healing, forgiveness, and the gift of new life through Jesus. In this gospel, you'll encounter a blind man who receives sight and the Good Samaritan, both revealing God's love and mercy toward us. The post Mercy – God's gift to us appeared first on Preachers Corner.

William Taylor - What is needed to fix the problems of this world? Multiple suggestions have been made - the author of Genesis has God's answer.

Who/what is God? I have had people say to me, I believe in God’s existance but I don’t need to study the Bible to know Him! But belief in His existence is not enough! Even satan and his demons believe in God’s existence! It is only through the Bible we can study God and His relationship with the universe. All we can know about God is not contained in the Bible, but the Bible contains all we can know about God during our earthly life! That is because God is infinite and beyond our limitations of space and time! Yet the God we as Christian disciples follow and worship, is knowable through the Bible. This means that God is a personal God and not a remote being. That is a key to studying Him! He wants to be known and has given us the Bible in order for us to do so. How can we know about God? In the Bible, what we know of God are the fundamental qualities or powers of His being. The Bible elucidates statements about God, by God, through which we try and understand God, using our finite minds. The Bible reveals God to us! God is spirit, yet a personal and infinite being (John 4:24). He is one in substance, nature and being and incapable of division (Deuteronomy 6v4). Yet He is three coequal people, or the Trinity! It is through the Bible we discover what pleases, angers, offends, or gives joy Him! The words revealed in the Bible describe His attributes! The fact we are able to take hold and understand this about an infinite God is evidence that God desires to be known by humans! So what are some of the attributes of God? There are two different kinds of attributes: natural and moral. 1. Natural Attributes a. Transcendent - God's self-existence apart from and independent of creation. This reflects God’s majesty and greatness. Romans 11:33; 1Chronicles 29:11; 1Kings 8:27 b. Immanent/Omnipresent - God is wholly present everywhere. God fills the universe in all it's parts without division Psalm 139:7-12; Jerermiah 23:23-24 c. Omnipotent - God has power to do all things that are the object of power. With God all things are possible Luke 1:37. He is El Shaddai or God Almighty. Jerermiah 32:17-18 Nothing is too hard for you. d. Omniscient - God has perfect knowledge of all things - actual, past, present, future and possible. 1 John 3:20 God knows all things; Psalm 47:5 Infinite understanding. e. Infinite - God has no limits. He has an internal and a qualitative absence of limitation. Boundless activity - Romans 11:33; 1Timothy1:16; Psalm 147:5 f. Immutable - God is unchangeable. Malachi 3:6 - I AM God and I change not; Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever. g. Eternal - God is without beginning or end. He is the alpha and omega. God is outside of time - time is in God, and He is free from the succession of time. God lives in the eternal present - past, present and future, are NOW for God - He is the I AM YAHWEH Exodus 3:14. From everlasting to everlasting you are God. 1 Timothy1:17; Psalm 102:7 h. Spirit God is a free personal Spirit · God is not material. He is invisible and indestructible. John 4:24; 1Timothy1:17; 1Timothy6:15-16 · God is Life Jn 14:6. Energy & activity! · God has Personality. Self-consciousness & communicative! 2. Moral Attributes a. Goodness - absolute perfection. Seeking creations' welfare. Love - God is love 1 John 4:8-10. God communicates and gives of Himself. Grace - God gives us what we do not deserve. God's riches at Christ’s expense Ephesians 2:7; The unmerited goodness of God John 1:16. Mercy - God does not give us what we deserve. The goodness of God to those in distress - tenderness & compassion (Ephesians 2:3-5) Long-suffering - God is slow to anger. God longs to forgive (Exodus 34:6-7) Truth - John 14:6 The revelation source and foundation of all truth is God/Jesus b. Holiness - moral excellence and perfection of God. Separation from sin. What God is!! Heb 7:26 "Be holy, for I am Holy". c. Righteousness - Holiness in action. God's actions conform to His Holiness. Justice deals with the ab­sence of righteousness. Sin must be dealt with – (Genesis 18:25 & Psalm 89:14) Why do we study this God? There are at least 4 reasons! a) Avoids confusion! As we study God, we come to know truths about Him and are able to discern what are true and false facts about Him! "Truth combats error" Satan distorts scripture to put people off the truth. b) Truth develops character 2 Peter 1:3-9 - The strongest Christian disciples are those with a good growing knowledge of biblical truth. Since study increases our knowledge of God, it increases the possibilities of love, growth and service of the Christian disciple. We study it to put it into practice! What we believe about God, affects our behaviour! James 1:22 says "We must be doers of the Word not just hearers of this is to be effective." c) We are commanded to grow in our knowledge of God - 2 Timothy 4:2-4 d) This God is to be worshipped and part of our service and submission to this God, is that worship is given to Him alone (Deuteronomy 5v6-9). As humans we are created in His image, and as Christian disciples we were bought at a price when Jesus died on the cross and we accepted Him as our Lord and saviour. He is due our worship and reverence! It is on worship that I hope to discuss next time! One of the best books regarding getting to know God is the appropriately titled “Knowing God” by JI Packer - it’s a thoroughly modern and readable classic! For more to think about, please do read for yourself 2 Peter 1:3-9. Ask yourself the following questions, writing them down if you can, and see how you respond or react to them. Then why not share your answers with your spouse or a close friend, so that you can pray over any issues together. Q1. From my knowledge of God, what do I find comforting? Q2. From my knowledge of God, what do I find disturbing? Q3. How has my knowledge of God grown and affected my behaviour since I became a Christian disciple?

We all know the feeling — “It's not fair!” But Romans 9 reminds us that while God's ways may stretch our understanding, His justice and mercy are never unjust. In this message, Mike unpacks how God's sovereign mercy and sovereign justice both reveal the riches of His glory. Rather than pushing us to intellectual mastery, they call us to worship, trust, and humble submission before Him. At the cross, the only One who was truly perfect received what was unfair — so that we could receive mercy we don't deserve.

if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly; and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the depraved conduct of the lawless (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard) – if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials and to hold the unrighteous for punishment on the day of judgment. This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the flesh and despise authority. Bold and arrogant, they are not afraid to heap abuse on celestial beings; yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do not heap abuse on such beings when bringing judgment on them from the Lord. But these people blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like unreasoning animals, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like animals they too will perish. They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done. Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, revelling in their pleasures while they feast with you. With eyes full of adultery, they never stop sinning; they seduce the unstable; they are experts in greed – an accursed brood! They have left the straight way and wandered off to follow the way of Balaam son of Bezer, who loved the wages of wickedness. But he was rebuked for his wrongdoing by a donkey – an animal without speech – who spoke with a human voice and restrained the prophet's madness. (2 Peter 2.6-16, NIV)

This sermon continues our series in Jonah chapter 2. After running from God's call, Jonah finds himself trapped in the dark—buried in distress and unable to save himself. But in that place, he is met by the mercy of God. We explore how Jonah returns to the presence of God, how his prayers are shaped by the Word of God, and how he comes to treasure the grace of God in a new way.Jonah 2 reminds us that even when we flee or feel stuck, grace knows how to find us. If you've been running, drifting, or hiding, this passage calls you to return. To God's presence. To His Word. And to His grace.Key Themes:·Storms of Mercy: God's storms aren't punishment—they're grace. (Jonah 1:17; 2:3)·Prayer in the depths: Jonah's lowest moment becomes his turning point. (Jonah 2:1–2)·Scripture-Shaped Prayer: Jonah prays the Psalms from the deep, reminding us of God's Word in suffering. (Jonah 2:3–7)·Idols and Steadfast Love: When we cling to lesser gods and worship created things, we forfeit the steadfast love of our Creator. (Jonah 2:8)·Salvation Belongs to the Lord: Jonah remembers who saves. Salvation is from the Lord alone.

In this kickoff to our new series in Jonah, we explore what happens when God's call disrupts our comfort. Jonah isn't just a story about a fish—it's a deeply personal account of resistance, mercy, and God's unrelenting grace. The same Jesus we encountered in Revelation shows up here too, offering mercy to people who don't deserve it—just like us.Jonah is a prophet called to preach to Nineveh, a violent and brutal city. But instead of obeying, he runs—in the opposite direction. We see his downward spiral, and we wrestle with our own: when God speaks, do we follow or flee? This sermon confronts delayed obedience, self-protection, and the costly fare of rebellion.But God pursues us. He hurls storms not to destroy, but to wake us up—to call us back. And through it all, He's writing a story of mercy.Whether you're young and drifting or older and disillusioned, God's still speaking. Will you respond?Join us as we open Jonah 1 and see how the Word of the Lord comes—not just to Jonah—but to us. And like Jonah, we're invited to rise, repent, and be sent.Key Themes:· The God Who Sends: God calls Jonah to Nineveh—a brutal, pagan city—revealing His heart for even the most wicked. (Jonah 1:1–2)· The Cost of Disobedience: Jonah flees to Tarshish, paying a price to go the wrong way— like we often do. (Jonah 1:3)· Storms of Mercy: God hurls a storm to stop Jonah's escape, not as punishment, but as rescue. (Jonah 1:4–6)· Downward Descent: Every step away from God takes Jonah further down—geographically and spiritually. (Jonah 1:3–5)· Pagans Who See Clearly: The sailors fear God and act with more faith than the prophet, reminding us that sometimes outsiders see truth more clearly than insiders. (Jonah 1:14–16)Reflection:Jonah 1 is not just about a prophet—it's a mirror for us. We all have places we'd rather not go, people we think are beyond mercy, and moments we choose comfort over obedience. Yet God, in relentless grace, speaks into our lives and redirects us—not with shame, but with storms meant to save. As we sit with this text, we're asked a question that echoes in our lives today: When God speaks, will we go? Or will we flee and find that even in our running, God is already there?Key Texts:· Jonah 1· Psalm 139:7–12· Matthew 12:38–41· James 4:17· John 14:26· Mark 4:35–41· Micah 6:6–8Support Our Mission:Your generosity helps us proclaim Christ as King and equip disciples to make disciples. https://alloflife.churchcenter.com/givingVisit Our Website:www.alloflife.church

Sermon by Fr. Bob Fabey "Mercy- God's Response to a Rebel Heart" 7th Sunday of Ordinary Time.

Psalm 50 is a profound piece of scripture that offers a rich blend of divine authority, judgment, and the call to sincere worship. It is attributed to Asaph, one of King David's chief musicians, and is structured as a divine courtroom scene where God himself is the judge. Structure and Themes 1.Divine Summons (Verses 1-6): •Verses 1-3: The psalm begins with a majestic portrayal of God, the Almighty, summoning the earth from east to west. It describes His appearance as radiant and powerful, with a consuming fire and tempest around Him, emphasizing His supreme authority and holiness. •Verses 4-6: God calls the heavens and the earth to witness His judgment on His people. This section highlights the seriousness of the divine courtroom setting, where God will judge with righteousness. 2.False Worship Condemned (Verses 7-15): •Verses 7-8: God addresses His people, Israel, affirming that He will testify against them despite their sacrifices. •Verses 9-13: God clarifies that He does not need their sacrifices as He owns all creation. This rebukes the misconception that God's favor can be bought with offerings. •Verses 14-15: Instead of mere ritualistic sacrifices, God desires thanksgiving and the fulfillment of vows. He calls for a relationship based on sincere devotion and reliance on Him, promising deliverance to those who call upon Him in times of trouble. 3.Rebuke of the Wicked (Verses 16-21): •Verses 16-17: God confronts the wicked who recite His laws but disregard His commands. •Verses 18-20: Specific sins are enumerated, including theft, adultery, deceit, and slander. This section underscores the hypocrisy of outward religiosity without inward righteousness. •Verse 21: God's silence is interpreted as approval by the wicked, but He warns them of impending judgment and correction. 4.Call to Repentance and Promise of Salvation (Verses 22-23): •Verse 22: A stern warning is given to those who forget God, emphasizing the danger of being torn apart with no one to rescue them. •Verse 23: The psalm concludes with a promise: those who offer thanksgiving honor God, and those who order their way rightly will experience His salvation. Key Messages •God's Ownership: God owns all creation and does not need human offerings, challenging the notion of transactional worship. •True Worship: Genuine worship involves thanksgiving, fulfilling vows, and calling upon God, reflecting a heartfelt relationship rather than mere rituals. •Hypocrisy Exposed: God detests hypocrisy and calls out those who outwardly follow religious practices but live in sin. •Judgment and Mercy: God's judgment is righteous and inevitable, but He offers mercy and salvation to those who repent and align their lives with His will. Application Psalm 50 encourages believers to examine their motives and sincerity in worship. It calls for a shift from external rituals to a deep, personal relationship with God characterized by gratitude, obedience, and trust. This psalm serves as a reminder of God's sovereignty, His desire for genuine devotion, and the seriousness of His judgment against hypocrisy and wickedness.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sendme-radio--732966/support.

Hey Winner, The Israelites took the good gifts God gave them, but they rejected the giver. How we do that too, don't we? We forget what God has done for us. We chase after idols or things of this world. Promotion, money, entertainment. We forget to run to the giver who gives these good gifts. And, even so, he's still standing there with open arms for us, waiting for us to return to him. He doesn't turn his back. Yes, he does discipline us when we need just like any good father would do. But He's standing there with grace and mercy calling for us, longing for us. So what path do we choose today?

Ephesians 2:1-10 | Anita Hooley

Message from James Opperman on February 11, 2024

When loved ones don't believe in Jesus despite being raised by Christian parents or growing up in church, it can leave us with deep aches and painful questions about God's sovereign choices and our free will. The apostle Paul understood this ache and wrestling. Even as he celebrated the inclusion of Gentile believers into God's family through faith in Jesus, he was distraught by what this same truth meant for Jews who did not come to believe in Jesus. In Romans 9-11, Paul laments his concern for the Jews and demonstrates what it looks like to turn to Scripture to seek wisdom for the concerns of our hearts. Join us as we dig into Paul's teaching, a teaching that informs what we today call the doctrine of predestination. May we find comfort in the truth that God, in his mercy, has chosen us. Like Paul, may the truth of God's mercy give us hope and assurance that God is patient and there is still time for those we love to believe and receive salvation in Jesus Christ.

The final week of our sermon on the New Testament book of Philemon called "Reset". Big Idea: Paul models substitutionary atonement for Philemon, a picture the Lord Jesus Himself modeled when He paid our debt on the cross. I. A Model of The Gospel's Tenets (vs. 17-20) v. 17 - “So if you consider me” - literally “if, therefore, me” Paul appeals to Philemon to change his view of Onesimus; to view him through a different lens. No longer is he a runaway slave. He is now a returning “beloved” brother (v. 16). Paul says treat him in the same manner that Philemon would treat his friend and mentor, Paul. Vs. 18-19 - Look at the words “charge” and “repay.” It's transactional. It's that simple. No emotion is needed. Paul says in Onesimus has wronged Philemon, stolen anything, damaged anything, Paul literally says he'll cover the bill. This is penal substitutionary atonement… We have a sin debt we can't pay. So, Jesus went to the Lord on our behalf and said, “Father, if they owe you anything, I will repay it.” v. 19b - “to say nothing of your owing me even your own self.” Let's unpack this. Paul isn't saying that Philemon owes Paul his life or soul. That, always and forever, belongs to Jesus. But, Paul did, most likely, share the gospel and disciple Philemon, so Paul seems to be asking for a little latitude on behalf of Onesimus. RC Sproul says this about grace, “It is impossible for anyone, anywhere, anytime to deserve grace. Grace by definition is undeserved. As soon as we talk about deserving something we are no longer talking about grace; we are talking about justice. Only justice can be deserved…God never “owes” grace….God reserves for Himself the supreme right of executive clemency.” MERCY - God withholding that which we do deserve (His wrath). (EPHESIANS 2:1-6) GRACE - God imputing that which we do NOT deserve (His forgiveness). (EPHESIANS 2:7-9) V. 20 - Philemon forgiving and reconciling with Onesimus would be a “refreshing” of Paul's spirit. When we forgive and reconcile, the Lord is refreshed. Also, the house church is refreshed to see a display of selflessness and unity. II. A Model of The Gospel's Triumph's (vs. 21-22) Vs. 21-22 - Valuable theology is found here. We see the correlation between knowing the scriptures, and doing what the scriptures command. Paul is confident that the grace he once showed Philemon can and will be replicated in his encounter with Onesimus. One day, Paul hoped to be released from to come back to Colossae and see how things turned out. V. 21 - Paul knew that Philemon probably just needed a little perspective, and that he would most likely go far beyond what Paul is asking. That kind of trust is somewhat scarce in our society these days. III. A Model of the Gospel's Testimony (vs. 23-25) You do know that people watch us, right? We profess to be Christians, and they want to see if we're willing to put our figurative (and sometimes literal) “money where our mouths are.” They want to know that we don't just preach the gospel, we give testimony to it! vs. 23-24 - These are names…and names mean things. These men are also watching to make sure Philemon lives the gospel he proclaims. Let's introduce you to these men (hat tip to my seminary president, Dr. Danny Akin, for the assist with these biographies): 1) Epaphras was from Colossae and certainly well known to Philemon (Col. 1:7-8; 4:12-13), but now he is imprisoned alongside Paul in Rome. Paul sees Epaphras as he sees himself, not as a prisoner of the Empire but as a prisoner “Christ Jesus.” He is where he is because he is captive to Christ. 2) Mark is John Mark, author of our 2nd Gospel. Formerly, like Onesimus, he had been useless (Acts 15:38), but now he was useful both to Paul and the Lord (see esp. 2 Tim. 4:11). 3) Aristarchus was a close associate of Paul possibly from Macedonia (Acts 19:29; 20:4). He had traveled with Paul to Rome (Acts 27:2). Colossians 4:10 calls him Paul's “fellow prisoner.” Tradition says he was martyred in Rome during the persecution under Nero (MacArthur, 230). 4) Demus is honorably mentioned here and in Colossians 4:14. However, 2 Timothy 4:11 informs us that he deserted Paul, “because he loved the present world.” 5) Luke is “the dearly loved physician” (Col. 4:14) who penned the 2 volume work Luke-Acts. Some believe he may also have written Hebrews. He traveled with Paul, helped care for him, and became a dear and faithful friend. He was the only person with Paul in the last days of his 2nd Roman imprisonment as he waited execution (2 Tim. 4:11). These men, then, stand with Paul on behalf of Onesimus. Paul knew they were faithful and trustworthy, and so did Philemon. Their “vote” in favor of Onesimus would have carried significant weight. As a matter of fact, these men are nearly an identical rendering of the greetings to the church at Colossae. Philemon knew these men. Their vouching for Onesimus would carry weight. v. 25 - I love how Paul ends here. He ends the way he began this letter…with Jesus.

If you have prayed the “Hail Mary” prayer, then you have prayed for your last hour in this world: “Pray for us now and at the hour of our death.” Death is frightening to many people, and the hour of our death is not usually something we want to think about. But the “hour of our death” is a moment we should all look forward to with the utmost joy and anticipation. And we will look forward to it only if we are at peace with God, within our soul. If we have regularly confessed our sins and sought the presence of God throughout life, then our last hour will be one of great comfort and joy, even if it is mixed with suffering and pain (See Diary #321). Think about that hour. If God were to give you the grace to prepare for that hour many months in advance, how would you prepare? What would you do differently so as to be ready for your final passing? Whatever comes to mind is most likely that which you should do today. Do not wait until the time is near to prepare your heart for your passing from death to new life. See that “hour” as an hour of the greatest grace. Pray for it, anticipate it and be watchful for the abundance of Mercy God wishes to bestow upon you, one day, at the glorious conclusion of your earthly life.Lord, help me to be rid of all fear of death. Help me to continually remember that this world is but a preparation for the next. Help me to keep my eyes on that moment and to always anticipate the abundance of Mercy You will bestow. Mother Mary, pray for me. Jesus, I trust in You. Source of content: www.divinemercy.lifeCopyright © 2023 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved. Used with permission via RSS feed.

Luke 19:1–10 Jesus and Zacchaeus [1] He entered Jericho and was passing through. [2] And behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector and was rich. [3] And he was seeking to see who Jesus was, but on account of the crowd he could not, because he was small in stature. [4] So he ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was about to pass that way. [5] And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, hurry and come down, for I must stay at your house today.” [6] So he hurried and came down and received him joyfully. [7] And when they saw it, they all grumbled, “He has gone in to be the guest of a man who is a sinner.” [8] And Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor. And if I have defrauded anyone of anything, I restore it fourfold.” [9] And Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, since he also is a son of Abraham. [10] For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.” (ESV) Questions to think about: 1. What currently motivates my giving? If it's not God's Grace and Mercy, what would it look like for my giving to be motivated by His Grace and Mercy? How might starting from that place transform the way I approach this invitation from God? 2. If I currently do not give anything to my congregation why is this? How might Jesus be inviting me to grow in this area? 3. Regardless of my income, age, or life situation, when it comes to the amount I give does my giving show a heart moved an motivated by the Gospel? What would it look like for the amount that I give to be shaped by the amount of Grace and Mercy God has shown me?

When we run and hide from God, when we conceal our secret sins, God comes looking for us. Because God never gives up on those He loves. In this passage, Jonah tried to run from God. So, God sent a ferocious storm and a giant fish to bring Jonah back; because God loved Jonah. This sermon explores three things about the relentless pursuit of “The Lord of the Storm.”   The Chance of Discovery: God brings Jonah's rebellion into the light through the storm He sent. If God loved Jonah less, He'd let him go. But in His mercy and grace, God brings Jonah's rebellion into the light. Takeaway: Confession is grace. God is bringing our rebellion into the light because He loves us too much to let us self-destruct. Confession is our first step toward healing. The Sentence of Death: All Jonah must do is repent and cry out for mercy for God to respond. But Jonah doesn't do that, and in his stubbornness continues to run from God. So, God makes Jonah own the deadliness of his sin. Takeaway: Conviction is grace. Have you ever been overwhelmed with conviction over the deadliness of your sin? That's grace; because it is under the weight of conviction that we cry out for mercy, and it is the kindness of the Lord that leads us to repentance, which leads to life. Confession and conviction feel like death, but they are grace that leads to life. The Depths of Mercy: God's mercy knows no depths, and there's fathomless grace beneath the waves. So, God sends the fish and intends for Jonah to stay there until he has a change of heart. With this fish, God rescues Jonah from the watery grave. Instead of instant death, Jonah gets more time, a chance to repent, to cry out for mercy, and to discover that God is gracious and merciful. Takeaway: Continuation is grace. Another day, another chance to repent, to cry out for mercy, and to discover God's unrelenting grace for undeserving people.   God is unrelenting in His grace for undeserving people. Even when we run and hide in our stubbornness and pride, God always comes looking for us. Because God never gives up on those He loves. His grace is relentless.   Jonah 1:7-17   Living the Message episode: https://youtu.be/zJi6G-8i7vc

Love Reaching Out To MiseryWhat is Mercy? GOD'S Definition Vs. The WORLD'S Definition - Matthew KellyGet Matthew's 60 Second Wisdom delivered to your inbox: https://www.matthewkelly.com/subscribeVideo Transcript:“What is Mercy? The world's definition of mercy is “compassion or forgiveness shown toward someone whom it is within one's power to punish or harm.” But the mercy of God is much more than an act of pardon or the cancellation of punishment. It is more dynamic than the passivity of looking the other way. It is intimate and deeply personal. And so, we ask again, what is mercy? Mercy is love reaching out to misery. Love reaching out to misery. When we need God's mercy, we are miserable, the two go hand in hand. Sometimes it is misery that we have caused ourselves, sometimes we are the victims of misery someone else has caused, and sometimes our misery is caused by the inexplicable accidents, disasters, and tragedies of life. Just know this, next time you are miserable, God is reaching out to you. And that reaching out is love reaching out to misery. I have seen human beings bestow astounding mercy on other human beings. How does that happen? Made in the image of God we are capable of mercy. So, imagine how vast and infinite God's mercy must be.God's mercy is bigger than any mistake any of his children can make. Such is the mercy of God. God is the love continuously reaching out to us when we are in misery.”If you have not read LIFE IS MESSY, order your copy today: https://amzn.to/2TTgZKn Subscribe to Matthew's YouTube Channel today! https://www.youtube.com/c/MatthewKellyAuthor/featured?sub_confirmation=1https://www.matthewkelly.comGet Matthew's 60 Second Wisdom delivered to your inbox: https://www.matthewkelly.com/subscribe The Best Version of Yourself and 60 Second Wisdom are registered trademarks.#MatthewKelly #BestVersionOfYourself #BestVersion #ThoughtLeader

We continue our exploration of who God is with a look at Justice and Mercy. Justice is what should be and dispensing of punishment for what is not. Mercy God's compassionate love toward us. We all deserve justice for our sin, but Jesus Christ and God's Mercy provides a way for justice to be fulfilled.

Leviticus 25-26 Even though the people didn't trust God to provide for them by letting their land lay fallow each 7th year, (25:4, 25:20-21), and would suffer consequences for their lack of faith (26:33-35), God will keep his promises to them. (26:44-45) Numbers represents the last approximately 39 years of the 40 years of the Israelites' wanderings on their way to their Promised Land. They could have made the journey in 40 DAYS if they had trusted God. Let us learn from this, and trust God, instead of our own humanistic, worldly thinking, to guide us as we are on our OWN journey to the Promised Land. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/catholicbiblestudy/support
