And I said, brothers and sisters, I believe the Lord has laid on my heart this burden that this should be our motto for this year, 2024, that we should try to live this year by that verse, be merciful to everyone just as God has been merciful to you. In other words, think of the number of ways in which God has been merciful to you, all the stupid things you and I have done. And not only has he forgiven us, he has not even let other people know about it. ======================================================================== Video: https://sermonindex2.b-cdn.net/1f5DDiPBSl4.mp4 Source: https://sermonindex.net/speakers/zac-poonen/2024-a-year-to-be-merciful-to-others/ ========================================================================
