Great Mercy

Sermon Notes

  • Scripture is a message of an almost ridiculous romance being played out.
  • (God speaking) “I want to have a depth of intimacy with you that will bring you incredible blessings and bring me incredible joy.”
  • We can’t truly understand and appreciate the mercy and love of God until we understand that we have deeply offended him.
  • 1 Peter 1:3-5
  • God’s mercy gives us spiritual protection.
  • [Satan] is in no sense a victor. He is the conquered one.
  • His rich mercy didn’t rescue us to then leave us spiritually vulnerable to the whims of the Enemy.
  •  1 Peter 1:9
  • God’s mercy gives us the certainty of our eternal salvation.
  • The marvel of God’s mercy is so great, the beauty of this romance is so astounding, the cost–the price–for the restoration of fellowship so severe that even angels long to look into these things.
