His Sermon, My Story #18 -- Matthew 5:1-7 -- Am I a mercy-giver?

Mercy is what Erika Kirk showed last weekend at the memorial for her husband Charlie. The choice to forgive is mercy in action. And in so many ways from my perspective it was the highlight, the most holy moment of the memorial. I closed the last episode with the question, "Does our mercy show?" And I challenged you to take a survey, find out people’s perceptions of Xtians?" If you haven’t done that yet, you should. Some labels will be unfair.

But listen carefully to how rarely our pictures are painted with the brushstrokes of grace and mercy. I wonder if the Spirit might be saying in this moment; "Let your mercy show?" So in this episode, we will look at a mercy-story of Jesus that leaves me with the question, "Am I a mercy-giver?"
