10.19.25 Pastor Chris Weeks

When you toss a rock into a lake, science tells us those ripples keep going—far beyond what we can see. Mercy works the same way.

Mercy is compassion or forgiveness when punishment or harm is deserved.

Mercy begins with God’s heart. His mercies never end—they’re new every morning (thank goodness, am I right?). The cross is where justice and mercy meet: justice demanded a price for sin, but mercy paid that price in full.

Jesus took that justice upon Himself.

If God can forgive you, then you can forgive them.

We’re called to be compassionate, not observatory. Jesus didn’t stand on the sidelines making remarks—He stepped in with love. Every ripple of mercy reflects God’s heart… and He sees yours. ❤️
