Sermons on Showing Mercy:

Blessed Are The Picker Uppers Series

Contributed by David Swanger on Feb 6, 2013

We must be before we do. Our Father who is "rich in mercy" expectes as much of His children and promises the same merciful treatment to them as they extend to others.

Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy. A Christian must be something before he can do something. One bankrupt in spirit, broken with grief, submissive to God’s leading, and living with an insa¬tiable hunger for righteousness is now ready and able to live out the life he has ...read more

Contributed by Dr. Dave Hartson on Nov 1, 2020

I did a search of the phrase “one-another” and discovered that it appears 269 times in 115 verses throughout the New Testament. If the phrase “one-another” appears that many times in the Bible, there must be something about it God wants us to know.

Introduction Tonight, we begin a new series called “You Ought to See a Whole Lot of One-Anothering going on in the Church House”. Let me tell you how this series came about.
