The Mercy You Forgot You Needed

Mercy only matters when you realize how much you need it. In this eye-opening message from Romans 2, part of our ongoing series through the book of Romans, Pastor Chris Schansberg challenges us to confront the quiet pride that can grow in religious hearts—especially when we forget our own desperate need for grace. He reminds us that knowing God’s truth doesn’t excuse us from judgment—it actually holds us more accountable. We’re warned against playing the role of judge while ignoring the mercy that saved us. What happens when we stop seeing ourselves through the lens of God’s kindness and start measuring others instead? What becomes possible when we return to a posture of gratitude and humility before God? This message will stir your heart to let go of spiritual superiority and remember the mercy that’s still sustaining you today.
