The Choice of Mercy

Dan River Church

The Choice of Mercy

Week 5 of 8

October 30, 2022 • Pastor Jonathan Falwell • Matthew 5:7

Mercy is an unnatural response to a natural action and an outward display of an inward work. Mercy is contagious. It is the reward for mercy: Mercy given = mercy received.

Fully Satisfied

October 23, 2022 • Pastor Scott Randlett • Matthew 5:6

To be fully satisfied, we must stop chasing empty pleasures. We can then start seeing God's goodness and stay committed to living right with Jesus, God, and people.

A Heart of Gold

November 6, 2022 • Pastor Scott Randlett • Matthew 5:8

What does it mean to have a pure heart? A pure heart is honest, humble, and holy. A pure heart allows us to "see God," to have an unobstructed view of who God is and to enter into God's presence.

The Peacemaker

November 13, 2022 • Pastor Scott Randlett • Matthew 5:9

How do peacemakers imitate the Father's character? Peacemakers pray and speak differently, pursue unity, and willingly confess when they are wrong. Peacemakers do not seek conflict but seek to reconcile people to God.
