IN A MEAN WORLD, OUR GREATEST WITNESS IS SHOWING MERCY
PRINCIPLES OF MERCY
1. START LOOKING AND LISTENING FOR PEOPLE’S NEEDS
The Reason Why We’re Not Merciful is that We are Too Busy
Attention is the Highest Form of Love
2. DON’T BE OFFENDED BY OTHER’S SINS
If you are going to be an agent of Mercy, you have to show it to everyone
Showing Mercy Doesn’t Mean You Excuse Everything and Say It’s OK.
There is a Difference Between ACCEPTANCE and APPROVAL.
DON’T EXPECT UNBELIEVERS TO ACT LIKE BELIEVERS UNTIL THEY ARE.
3. CHOOSE YOUR WORDS CAREFULLY.
You are Never Persuasive When You are Abrasive.
As an Agent of Mercy, We Must Speak in ways that Make People Stronger.
How Do You Do That?
4. VALUE SAVING PEOPLE OVER KEEPING RULES.
Jesus Defended the Disciples Eating Grain on the Sabbath (Matt 12:1-8)
Six Places to be An Agent of Mercy
1. LOOK FOR PEOPLE IN A CRISIS.
When you listen to somebody going through a crisis you’re carrying their burden.
2. LOOK FOR PEOPLE WITH UNMET NEEDS AND HELP THEM.
Mercy looks for people’s unmet needs and helps them.
3. LOOK FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE GRIEVING AND COMFORT THEM.
Every Day there are people we come in contact with who have suffered some type of loss.
4. LOOK FOR PEOPLE NEEDING FRIENDS AND SHOW HOSPITALITY.
People are Hungry for hospitality.
5. LOOK FOR PEOPLE WHO NEED A SECOND CHANCE.
One of the ways you know when somebody needs a second chance is often they’re depressed.
6. LOOK FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE RUDE.
If you want God’s Blessing in Your Life, learn how to be NICE.
