January 26, 2020 ~ "God's Undeserved Mercy"

Pastor Mitchell Cruit
God shows mercy to those we think don’t deserve it.
What do we value more than God that leads us to harden ourselves rather than soften our hearts with mercy towards others?
Do we feel entitled to God’s mercy?
Does observing someone else’s sin lead you to condemnation or compassion?

God prepared His prophet to proclaim His Word to a gentile pagan nation He was going to judge. 
By God’s mercy, those who heard the Word believed God.
By God’s mercy He saw their repentance and relented from His coming punishment.

January 5, 2020 ~ "God's Sovereign Mercy"

Pastor Mitchell Cruit
