Sunday sermon – “Blessed Are The Merciful” presented by: Glenn Geeting (4/12/2015)
GLENN’S NOTES:
Mt 5:7 Blessed are the Merciful
Intro- greetings from Baltimore Church!
Cruise- great chance to get away as a family, come back sunburned and fat.
unlimited 24/7 pizza and soft serve ice cream- just wrong. So many bad choices.
Tomy keeping our dogs alive and the house in one piece. Don’t want to know what happened during our absence.
Thanks for getting our backs and leading the church! Great service led by the campus/teens. We can do this together!
Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. (Matthew 5:7 NIV)
This is a weakness for me. Not talking about a strength here.
1. Blessed
Happiness v Meaning
Victor Frankl
Ex. Raising kids- not shown to be easy or a bundle of laughs, but deeply meaningful.
Seeking happiness/self-satisfaction- will fail. Wrong goal.
Seeking Meaning-
Extrinsic v Intrinsic motivation
extrinsic = from outside of you, financial incentives, reward programs- not very effective. In fact, often has the reverse effect, results in less performance.
intrinsic = from inside, about who you are, your mission. What drives you? to do what?
indwelling H.S. is about as intrinsic as motivation can get!
Talked about Goals with the guys a couple of days ago- what moves you?
2. the Merciful
Ex. Compassion fatigue. In ER- constant flow of needs, challenges, excuses.
Often people aren’t proactive, not empowered.
What moves you to compassion?
Ex. Friend. pain. infidelity, impending divorce, triggers huge insecurities. senseless.
Mt 18:21
Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?” Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.
Why would Peter ask this question?
Peter is a bit mercy-challenged.
Challenge is we all think we’re incredibly merciful- Mother Theresa.
How’s it going with your small group? Have they hurt you yet? If not, you’re too superficial. We are going to be stupid, thoughtless, insensitive- part of being in relationship.
Not had to work through forgiving your brother or sister- haven’t really loved them
If you pay attention, you’ll see a lot of misery. People are hurting.
How do you respond?
-distance- easier to be around people that aren’t so needy
-you brought this on yourself- generally at least somewhat true. A lot of our pain can be traced back to decisions we made before, not anticipated.
Amazing in so many bad decisions God has insulated us from the consequences of our sin.
-get closer, fix our eyes together on J
Being merciful doesn’t mean you’re a doormat, doesn’t mean you have not spine and no morals.
Being merciful doesn’t mean you agree with everyone.
1. disagreeing with someone’s lifestyle does not mean that you hate the- a hater
2. loving someone does not mean you agree on everything
“Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. As he began the settlement, a man who owed him ten thousand bags of gold was brought to him. Since he was not able to pay, the master ordered that he and his wife and his children and all that he had be sold to repay the debt. “At this the servant fell on his knees before him. ‘Be patient with me,’ he begged, ‘and I will pay back everything.’ The servant’s master took pity on him, canceled the debt and let him go. “But when that servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred silver coins. He grabbed him and began to choke him. ‘Pay back what you owe me!’ he demanded.
“His fellow servant fell to his knees and begged him, ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay it back.’ “But he refused. Instead, he went off and had the man thrown into prison until he could pay the debt. When the other servants saw what had happened, they were outraged and went and told their master everything that had happened. “Then the master called the servant in. ‘You wicked servant,’ he said, ‘I canceled all that debt of yours because you begged me to. Shouldn’t you have had mercy on your fellow servant just as I had on you?’ In anger his master handed him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he should pay back all he owed. “This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother or sister from your heart.” (Matthew 18:21-35 NIV)
10,000 bags of gold/Millions of dollars of debt. 10 Talents. Mortgage- goal of drawing out this maximum payment until you die. Now imagine it multiplied by 100. $200,000 becomes $20 mil
How on earth do you get that into debt?
His plea- “be patient with me” No chance of ever paying it back! Likely to get more into debt in desperation.
Throw family into prison- our sin hurts the people around us.
Master- saw the pain of the servant. Surely saw his sin too, but didn’t dwell on that.
Get in touch with your debt toward God. Study Sin. Write out a sin list. Take inventory- hard look at yourself from the perspective of the Almighty.
Come into the presence of our Creator- feel the weight of your debt
Forgive in advance- going to be with family.
Aunt Mabel is going to get drunk and say something insensitive again. “You’re not all that ugly, why don’t you get yourself a husband?”
We all desperately need a forum in which we can get gut-level open, blunt with our shortcomings, be loved despite our faults, loved through our repentance.
When was the last time you took advantage of great discipling? If not, you’re likely growing out of touch with your debt, ungrateful, no growth, no impact, entitled, unmerciful to those around you.
3. They will receive mercy
Bottom-line, those that don’t see their need for mercy don’t receive mercy.
“the Christian stands in a middle point, between a mercy received and a mercy yet needed”
Being a Father is one of the most humbling jobs in the world
We often shape our kids perception of God- for the worst
Ways that Glenn is not like God- impatient, impure, selfish, weak, unloving, fits of rage, unmerciful.
Hardest people to forgive are family.
All of us that have had fathers have had to work through forgiving them for the ways they weren’t like God.
I pray that my kids will be able to forgive me and not associate my shortcomings with God.
Concl-
1. Get in touch with your debt. Study. Get open
2. Get some discipling
