THE BLESSED LIFEMessage 5 of 8 The Blessing of the Open Valve

Dr. McKay Caston, Pastor of Preaching and Leadership

TODAYS KEY BIBLE PASSAGE: Matthew 5:7

Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.

THE BIG IDEA: ___________________________________________________________.

MY NOTES:

QUESTIONS FOR REFLECTION & DISCUSSION:

1) Why is it so difficult to show mercy?

2) What happens in my relationships when I shut off the valve to mercy? How does it affect myrelationship with God? What happens when I keep it open?

3) What potential impact can mercy have upon those who receive it?

4) What are some practical ways to show mercy?

5) How is the gospel of Jesus a message of mercy?
