How big is God’s mercy? God loves prostitutes, too

from The Word from St. Andrews · host St. Andrews Baptist Church

“Sometimes when I talk to people about the God they don’t believe in, I find that I don’t believe in that God either.” These words have been said similarly by many different preachers and they still ring true. I wonder if our view of God is tainted.  Do you see God as a punishing, wrathful, angry faced being? Does he seem to disagree with you on everything and judgment is paramount. Or do you see him as primarily loving, merciful, compassionate and out for your good? I want to ask some questions this week about a prostitute named Rahab and how she can possibly be included in the hall of faith in Hebrews 11:31. Take a look at that verse and maybe also read Joshua 2 and Joshua 5:22-3 along with it. I look forward to focusing our thoughts on our loving, forgiving, merciful, redemptive God.​Pastor Jace
