Gwilym Davies - What does it look like for the implanted word to establish deep roots in a Christian? What does it look like for a Christian man or woman to be shot through with the mercy of God? James' purpose in chapters 2–4 is to teach us to tell the difference between self-deceived 'faith' in the Lord Jesus and the real thing. And in 2:1–13, he begins his curriculum with partiality, and with the difference the gospel should make in the way we see one another.
Drew Balch - Favouritism feels small. James says it isn't. In James 2, we discover that showing partiality, even in subtle, respectable ways, makes us law-breakers and reveals how easily we adopt the world's values. We need the snobbery in our hearts to be exposed, to challenge both pride and reverse snobbery, which leads us to the only hope we share: the mercy of God that triumphs over judgment in Jesus Christ.
When others offer us mercy, it is easy to give it back in return. What measure of mercy do we naturally have to give for those who are judgmental? Mercy that triumphs over judgment is a supernatural Kingdom offering that we give to others by receiving it from God first. In this message, Debbie Peterson dives into how we receive mercy that we can freely receive and give away. GIVE HERE - https://awake.church/give
Last Sunday, Nemi unpacked Jonah's dramatic rescue - a runaway prophet who deserves judgement but is met with mercy through a big fish. In the depths, Jonah's Psalm-shaped prayer reveals God's grace and points us to the Gospel and the God who draws us back to Himself.
Luke 10:25-37 In this parable, Jesus goes into the explanation of what it means to "love thy neighbor as thyself". The Samaritan saw a man in need and chose to help him, despite the social pressures to ignore him. Our neighbors are not just our family and friends. No one is perfect and we deserve judgement, but God has shown us mercy through the sacrifice of Jesus. So, we should put aside judgements and show mercy to all who may be needy, just like the Samaritan. Website: immanuelde.com Facebook: immanuelchurchwilmington YouTube: Immanuel Church Wilmington DE
Our world is very short on mercy these days. Cancel culture has grown like a weed and encouraged cutting off not only celebrities with whom we disagree but family and friends as well. Experts assure us this is both morally laudable and absolutely necessary for our mental health and happiness – yet it has made the world a friendless, merciless place. Sadly, the church has not been much different. We are quick to speak, quick to assume motives, quick to fixate on what the other person "ought to have known." In this passage, James warns us against such "judgment without mercy" and shows us a better way – the way of mercy. Choose mercy because love commends it, the law demands it, and you need it.

In today's message, we explore what it means to truly walk in the light of God's love and mercy. Through key scriptures, we are reminded to act justly, love mercy, and embody compassion in our daily lives. The story of the Good Samaritan challenges us to close the gap between the love we profess and the love we practice. Let's embrace God's call to show mercy, live with humility, and walk boldly in His truth.
God does not ask us to be the Judge. He is not asking the Church to be his Jury. There is no room for partiality in the family of God. We are all guilty and Christ stands as our defender, offering himself in our place. That is Jesus. That's how Mercy Triumphs over judgment!

When most people think of the book of Jonah, they are draw to the prophet being swallowed by a great fish. However, the main message of the book is about God's eagerness and willingness to forgive repentant sinners.

Sermon Notes Is there a way to get justice without getting revenge? Genesis 42:6-7 NIV "Now Joseph was the governor of the land, the person who sold grain to all its people. So when Joseph's brothers arrived, they bowed down to him with their faces to the ground. As soon as Joseph saw his brothers, he recognized them, but he pretended to be a stranger and spoke harshly to them. 'Where do you come from?' he asked. 'From the land of Canaan,' they replied, 'to buy food.'" Genesis 42:8-9 NIV "Although Joseph recognized his brothers, they did not recognize him. Then he remembered his dreams about them and said to them, 'You are spies! You have come to see where our land is unprotected.'" This is a test moment, and Joseph has the choice to exact revenge or show mercy. Genesis 42:21-22 NIV "They said to one another, 'Surely we are being punished because of our brother. We saw how distressed he was when he pleaded with us for his life, but we would not listen; that's why this distress has come on us.' Reuben replied, 'Didn't I tell you not to sin against the boy? But you wouldn't listen! Now we must give an accounting for his blood.'" Does this confession equal repentance? 2 Corinthians 7:10 NIV "Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death." "The idea that sin is grievous to God also has profound practical implications for people who want to change their lives and habits. If you say, "I must stop doing this thing because it will get me into trouble," then you are not really sorry for the sin itself but for the consequences or results of the sin. You are not sorry primarily because it grieved God but because it grieved you or others. This means that as soon as your sinful habit stops causing trouble for you, you will stop causing trouble to it. But if you recognize and feel poignantly what your sin is doing to God, you will have a deeper and more permanent motivation to turn away from the sin itself." - Timothy Keller, Forgive: Why Should I and How Can I? Can I show mercy, even if I'm not sure if it's Godly sorrow or worldly sorrow? Genesis 42:24 NIV "He turned away from them and began to weep but then came back and spoke to them again. He had Simeon taken from them and bound before their eyes." Genesis 43:30 NIV "Deeply moved at the sight of his brother, Joseph hurried out and looked for a place to weep. He went into his private room and wept there." Genesis 45:1-2 NIV "Then Joseph could no longer control himself before all his attendants, and he cried out, 'Have everyone leave my presence!' So there was no one with Joseph when he made himself known to his brothers. And he wept so loudly that the Egyptians heard him, and Pharaoh's household heard about it." Joseph reveals God's heart for complete forgiveness. Luke 23:32-34 NIV "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.' And they divided up his clothes by casting lots." Matthew 18:21-22 NIV "Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, 'Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?' Jesus answered, 'I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.'" Genesis 45:3 NIV "Joseph said to his brothers, 'I am Joseph! Is my father still living?' But his brothers were not able to answer him because they were terrified at his presence." Genesis 45:4 NIV "Then Joseph said to his brothers, "Come close to me." When they had done so, he said, "I am your brother Joseph, the one you sold into Egypt!" Genesis 45:5 NIV "And now, do not be distressed and do not be angry with yourselves for selling me here because it was to save lives that God sent me ahead of you." Genesis 45:6 NIV "For two years now, there has been famine in the land, and for the next five years, there will be no plowing and reaping." Genesis 45:7 NIV "But God sent me ahead of you to preserve for you a remnant on earth and to save your lives by a great deliverance." Genesis 45:8, 11 NIV "So then, it was not you who sent me here, but God. He made me father to Pharaoh, Lord of his entire household, and ruler of all Egypt. I will provide for you there because five years of famine are still to come. Otherwise, you and your household and all who belong to you will become destitute." Genesis 45:14-15 NIV "Then he threw his arms around his brother Benjamin and wept, and Benjamin embraced him, weeping. And he kissed all his brothers and wept over them. Afterward, his brothers talked with him." Genesis 45:18 NIV "and bring your father and your families back to me. I will give you the best of the land of Egypt, and you can enjoy the fat of the land." "The Hebrew word used is nasah, one with the sense of sending sin away so that the forgiver no longer counts it against the perpetrator. While Joseph does not say, literally, "I forgive you," he nevertheless responds by rejecting vengeance, and pledges love to them—a crucial element in forgiveness." - Timothy Keller, Forgive: Why Should I and How Can I? True forgiveness comes as a "pay-it-forward" experience. Matthew 18:32-35 NIV "Then the master called the servant in. 'You wicked servant,' he said, 'I canceled all that debt of yours because you begged me to. Shouldn't you have had mercy on your fellow servant just as I had on you?' In anger, his master handed him over to the jailers to be tortured until he should pay back all he owed. 'This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother or sister from your heart.'" "Forgiveness gets down to the bottom of things—to the alienation we feel from God and from ourselves because of our wrongdoing. Jesus was saying: 'I want to show you that the deepest need of your nature is for me. Only I can bestow perfect love, new identity, endless comfort, hope, and glory. And the doorway into all of that is to know forgiveness. It's time to open that door and walk through it.'" - Timothy Keller, Forgive: Why Should I and How Can I?
