Sunday 16th April 2017 - A NEW DAY OF MERCY

“A new day will dawn on us because our God is loving and merciful.” Luke 1:78 (God’s Word)
 
Easter means it’s a new day of mercy “because our God is loving and merciful”.
 
Two questions we’re going to explore today are -
when do we need God’s mercy, and
what happens when we accept it?
 
(1) Ashamed:
we need God’s mercy when we’ve messed up. God’s mercy forgives and frees us from guilt.

(2) Angry:
we need God’s mercy when we don’t have what we need. God’s mercy makes the impossible possible.

(3) Afraid:
we need God’s mercy when we’re facing death. God’s mercy will save us for eternity.
