OUR NEED FOR GOD’S MERCY (2 Samuel 14)

In this message from 2 Samuel 14, we explore the depth of our need for God’s mercy, its freeing power, and its redemptive nature. Mercy is not just an abstract concept—it’s essential for building a real, intimate relationship with God through Jesus Christ, empowered by the Holy Spirit.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

1) A Call for Honesty (v1–3)

  • God’s kingdom cannot advance through manipulative tactics.

  • The ends never justify the means—doing right is always best (1 Peter 2:21-25).

2) An Appeal for Mercy (v4–11)

  • God’s heart is always bent toward mercy (Hosea 6:6; Matthew 9:13).

  • Mercy is what every person deeply needs.

3) The Urgency of the Moment (v12–17)

  • Time is fleeting—redeem it wisely for God’s glory (v14).

  • The gospel demands a response (Matthew 11:28-30).

4) Lookout for the Root of Bitterness (v12–17)

  • Bitterness disrupts peace and our relationship with God (Hebrews 12:14-15).

  • Forgiveness from the heart is key to reconciliation.
