Sermons on Mercy
This week we ponder the great compassion Jesus has on those in need of physical healing.
In this first week of Advent we remember how Christ has come and delivered us and how we continue to wait for Christ to come again. We continue to pray for the coming of the Lord.
We learn from this psalm about how God is both above us and in control and with us, suffering. We learn about a God who is enthroned in the heavens and can feel distant and the God who became a man to dwell with us.
Jumping to 1 Corinthians 15, Paul brings our focus to the bodily death and resurrection of Jesus.
We take a look at the long and wild journey of Absalom, who was close to successfully overthrowing the reign of David in a coup. We focus in on the idea of justice – what is true justice in the kingdom of God?
Samantha Elliott visits us from a sister church to reflect on the forgiveness and redemption of David after David’s terrible sin with Bathsheba and Uriah.
In Psalm 51 we find a beautiful, confessional prayer that finds us in our need for mercy and cries out to God along with us.
Numbers presents us with a strange stories of snake attacks and salvation through a snake on a pole. We see how this gives as an image of the gospel, and how we can find our own salvation from sin in the crucifixion (and resurrection) of Jesus.
We discuss humanity’s place among creation, recognizing our dependence upon the mercy of God for life.
