THE MYSTERY OF GOD'S MERCY

Mark 10:46-52;Psalms 25:10.

Everything God does and is still doing for us is wrapped up in His Mercy. The mercy of God is so great and deeper than our thought. The book of Psalms 103:11 “For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is His mercy toward them that fear Him” The mercy of God is full of mysteries beyond human comprehension, but by the help of the Holy Spirit, we shall be looking at these mysteries and how to plunge into them and be blessed.

For you to be able to appreciate the mystery of God’s mercy you must know the importance of it. You can only value a thing when you know its importance. We shall take a look at two of them in this edition.

1. We are saved according to His mercy: Titus 3:5 “Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us…”

2. We are alive today by His mercy: Lamentation 3:22: “It is of the LORD’s mercy that we are not consumed, because His compassion fails not”

The truth is if I know that I am saved according to His mercy, it then means

CHRISTMAS MESSAGE

Your Story, God's Story
Luke 1

Why is Christmas such a magical time of year? I think its because everyone is expecting a miracle at Christmas. Consider all the popular movies. Each one has a miracle as it's central plot. Whether it's a boy hoping his parents get back together, a shop-owner hoping he can keep his business running, or a town who needs a new hero to help "save Christmas."

You might be reading this and wishing for your own miracle this Christmas. It's probably much smaller than what makes a holiday movie. But it no less important to you.
Maybe you're hoping our prodigal comes home. Maybe you're wishing for a job. Some are yearning for a special someone to sit next to you by the fire.
2,000 years ago, there was a couple who hoped for their own miracle. But like many, they had long given up on this dream. Zacharias and Elisabeth prayed for a child, but year after year, that prayer went unfulfilled. So, they gave up on the dream.
But this couple didn't give up on God. They stayed faithful.
