How Can I Be Forgiven?
Mercy Me - Pt. 2 - Some of us are like the woman in this story. We can’t believe that forgiveness is truly possible for someone as tainted as us. Some of us are like the Pharisee in this story. We can’t accept certain people as spiritually clean, after the things they have done. What both of us need is to believe in the mercy God promises in His word.
The Sermon on the Mount is often acclaimed (even by non-Christians) as the greatest moral teaching ever presented. It dares us to dream of the world-changing things that could happen if we began to walk like Him.
If we are the Temple where redemption happens, what is our plan to draw people to Him? The answer is to relearn an ancient, almost forgotten practice: Hospitality. In a time when loneliness is an epidemic, when few people know their neighbors, something as simple as a meal together can be the starting place for something beautiful to happen.
