Hebrews 4:16

“Let us approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.”

Psalm 103:8-12

Let the Lord parent us this morning

The Lord is compassionate and gracious,

slow to anger, abounding in love.

He will not always accuse,

nor will he harbor his anger forever;

he does not treat us as our sins deserve

or repay us according to our iniquities.

For as high as the heavens are above the earth,

so great is his love for those who fear him;

as far as the east is from the west,

so far has he removed our transgressions from us.

Ephesians 4:32

“Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.”

Luke 6:27 - “But to you who are willing to listen, love your enemies

Luke 6:35 - “Love your enemies and do good to them... Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.”

Luke 6:36 - “Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.”

Micah 6:8

He has shown you, O people, what is good.

And what does the Lord require of you?

To act justly and to love mercy

and to walk humbly with your God.

John 8:4-11

“Teacher,” they said to Jesus, “this woman was caught in the act of adultery. The law of Moses says to stone her. What do you say?”

They were trying to trap him into saying something they could use against him, but Jesus stooped down and wrote in the dust with his finger. They kept demanding an answer, so he stood up again and said, “All right, but let the one who has never sinned throw the first stone!” Then he stooped down again and wrote in the dust.

When the accusers heard this, they slipped away one by one, beginning with the oldest, until only Jesus was left in the middle of the crowd with the woman. Then Jesus stood up again and said to the woman,

“Where are your accusers? Didn’t even one of them condemn you?”

“No, Lord,” she said.

And Jesus said, “Neither do I. Go and sin no more.”

Hebrews 4:16

“Let us approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.”
