Discussion: Mercy

Have you been frustrated and thought, “I don’t deserve this”?

Have you seen a commercial that tells you that you deserve a vacation, or to reward yourself?

Have you stopped and wondered how you did not get into trouble for something bad you did?

When was the last time you got into trouble? What was it for?

Do you ever think about how you really have it good?

Have you spent any time contemplating the lives of those less fortunate than you? Does that make you feel bad?

Are you spoiled?

“At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. [4] But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, [5] he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit,”

-Titus 3:3-5
