From the Shepherd's Heart...Thursday, October 1, 2015

God's weak spot is His mercy.  I don't know who said that but for years I have repeated that statement.

I understand God does not have a "weak" spot, but what I mean is God loves to show mercy.

This Sunday I will continue the series "The God Who Forgives" with this message "God's Mercy in Forgiveness."  Oh how I love to preach the good news of the Gospel.  We owe a debt we can not pay; God provides a way through His mercy and grace to forgive us.  And as we saw this past Sunday, He will never remember it against us again.

We all know someone who needs to hear this because we need to hear it.  God is a resurrection God who delights in making the impossible become possible.  If our own life choices have knocked us flat on our back, then turn to Jesus who specializes in resurrecting us.  God is not a God of laying down but standing up!!!  He gets us on our feet with resurrection power.

Invite someone right now to join you for Sunday School and Worship this Sunday.  You will be glad you did and so will they.

"Grace is pardon; grace is power; grace is promise."  Lewis B. Smedes

"The grace of God is in my mind shaped like a key that comes from time to time and unlocks the heavy doors." Donald Swan

Guilt...shame...remorse...debt are heavy doors with long jail terms.  But grace and mercy are keys that can immediately open the door to freedom!!  See you Sunday!!!
