The Mercy of God

Sunday, May 8, 2010
 Led by Eric Gintert

What is mercy? Mercy is God looking down and not letting great consequence come upon you because He see's repentance in you heart and a change in your actions.
  • 1 Peter 1:3-5  -  His abundant mercy is the only reason why we are granted these things; grace and forgiveness come out of the mercy of God.
  • Proverbs 28:13  -  he who confesses and forsakes his sin (repents) shall receive mercy
  • Titus 3:3-7  -  it was not according to our works of righteousness that we were saved but by his mercy; we are justified (declared righteous) by His grace
  • Genesis 19:15-16  -  God magnified His mercy in the life of Lot
  • Proverbs 21:21  -  those who follow after righteousness receive mercy
  • Luke 23:39-43  -  an example of mercy showing that even in great sin, a repentant  heart receives mercy
  • Psalm 86:1-17  -  David's prayer pleading for mercy from God; God is abundant and plenteous in mercy
  • Matthew 5:7  -  the merciful (compassionate) shall obtain mercy
  • Lamentations 3:1-66  -  it is because of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed; a spiritual rollercoaster
  • 1 Timothy 1:12-17  -  Paul obtained mercy because his sin was committed ignorantly in unbelief
Some things to think about for further study:  Who doesn't receive mercy? How to we "do" or show mercy to others?

Prayer Requests:
Aaron Coleman  -  hurt arm; job
Rachele Shelton  -  health issues
Larry Schultz  -  sister died; shoulder problems
Laurie and Bonnie  -  work for FEMA helping with recent disasters
Ray and Penny Walters  -  health issues and car problems

Jesus Understands Our Infirmities

Sunday, March 27, 2011 Led by Dennis Jeffries Jesus has experienced everything we've ever been through, and more so. He understands our feelings and knows what it's like. Hebrews 2:16-18  -  Jesus took on flesh and blood and was made like his brethren; he brings hope and comfort to those suffering with temptation Philippians 2:5-6  -  Jesus didn't think it was robbery to be equal with God (he wasn't taking anything away from God because he was God) *** See John 10:24, John 1:1,14 *** John 5:18  -  the Jews wanted to kill Jesus because he proclaimed to be equal with God *** See John 15:18-19 *** Philippians 2:7  -  Jesus was in the likeness of man Isaiah 53:2-5  -  He knows how we feel in every situation we're in; he was a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief... therefore he understands our griefs and sorrows Galatians 4:4-5  -  Jesus was flesh (made of a woman) and was subjected to temptation just as we are, but he ...

Examples of Prayer from Those of Old

Sunday, August 7, 2011 Led by Eric Gintert We can learn a lot about prayer by reading what God's servants of old have prayed. "To pray is the greatest thing we can do: and to do it well there must be calmness, time, and deliberation; otherwise it is degraded into the littlest and meanest of things. True praying has the largest results for good; and poor praying, the least. We cannot do too much of real praying; we cannot do too little of the sham. We must learn anew the worth of prayer, enter anew the school of prayer. There is nothing which it takes more time to learn. And if we would learn the wondrous art, we must not give a fragment here and there -- "A little talk with Jesus," as the tiny saintlets sing -- but we must demand and hold with iron grasp the best hours of the day for God and prayer, or there will be no praying worth the name. This, however, is not a day of prayer. Few men there are who pray. Prayer is defamed by preacher and priest. In these days o...
