Sermons About Compassion
A Compassionate Heart
In the story of David and Mephibosheth we see the king demonstrate a great deal of compassion and mercy to a man who was an assumed enemy to the throne. The way that David seeks out an opportunity to show the loving-kindness of God to Mephibosheth, and the way that he makes room at his table for him, reflects to us the character of God and instructs us on how to live in response.

Understanding the Nature of God’s Forgiveness?
Understanding the Nature of God’s Forgiveness? Scripture: Matthew 18: 21-35 The big question on Peter’s heart that needs an answer! How often shall I forgive my brother who sins against me? Peter suggested the answer, “Seven times?” Jesus answers, No! “Seventy times seven.” 490 times The story, “The Kingdom of heaven is like…” sets this parable in the context of Divine grace 1. The huge debt of our sin could never be repaid (Verse 24, 25) 2. This story is for those of us who are blind to our own sins 3. This story is for anybody finding it hard to forgive 4. Forgiveness always costs the innocent one, for he (the king) forgives the debt out of love and compassion. (Verse 26, 27) 5. The forgiven servant failed to embrace the principle of grace. (Verse 33-34) a. He was very aggressive in going after a small debt because he was covering up a far bigger debt. b. He didn’t receive the king’s love and forgiveness in his heart so he couldn’t pass it on c. Everybody could see his blatant injustice except he, himself d. At the end of day he was not free – but experienced endless torture 6. This story provides us with a strong motivation to forgive (Verse 35)

Jesus Wants To Break Your Heart
In what's commonly called "The Beatitudes", Jesus taught his followers what it truly means to live a life that is "blessed" by God. Their ideas of "blessing" were turned upside-down by Christ's teaching, and so this series on the Beatitudes is titled "The Upside-Down Life". Jesus taught that those who mourn are "blessed". What did he mean when he said this? We'll see here that the heart that mourns is a heart that is compassionate for others, a heart that is contrite over its own sin, and a heart that will be comforted by Jesus.
