Kingdom Makers: Blessed Are the Merciful

Matthew 5:7

Introduction:

A life without mercy is a life without freedom or purpose.

1. Consider the MAGNITUDE of mercy
2. CHARACTERIZED by mercy

Ephesians 4:32 Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.

Quote: “Forgiveness isn’t a feeling. It is an action You don’t forgive and forget. You forgive and remember that you forgave.” —Joby Martin

Mercy GIVEN doesn’t mean mercy RETURNED.

3. CONSUMED with the MISSION of mercy

Quote: “Start praying for an opportunity to point people to Jesus, and that’s a prayer that God can’t wait to answer.”

Quote: “If we had an accurate view of eternity (both the joy of heaven and the hopelessness of hell), everything would change about our priorities.”
