The Mercy of God
Read the summary of the Sunday sermon:
The mercy of God is on display throughout the story of the Bible and is a foundational expression of who He is. God shows his mercy to those who need it, that being everyone, but especially to those who acknowledge their need before Him. In Exodus 34 God makes clear that his mercy is a part of his very nature.
