- I wanna talk to those of you who are hurting. Maybe you're a little bit afraid, you're
alone. You might feel exhausted or worn out. Maybe you feel like you're losing hope. I'm
gonna show you a guy from the Old Testament, his name is Jeremiah, and his words are
recorded in one of the places in Lamentations 3. And if you feel worn out, if you feel
discouraged, this guy felt a lot like you. In fact, I would encourage you to read
Lamentations 3. I'm gonna tell you in what I call, today's language, what he said, this
isn't exactly the way he said it. When he said it in Lamentations 3, it's more Bible-y, but
I'm gonna say it how you would say it. I'm gonna tell you how you would say it, but I
promise you, this is in the Bible. Essentially what he said was this, he said, "People suck."
That's how you would say it. He said, "Life isn't fair." He said, "My body is wrecked." He
said, "I can't sleep, I'm broke, I don't know how I'm gonna pay the bills. I'm overwhelmed
with anxiety and God doesn't seem to care." That's what he said. I promise it's more
Bible-y in Lamentations 3, but that's essentially what he said. And then in Lamentations
3:19, he said, "I remember my affliction and my wandering, and the bitterness and the
gall. I remember them and my soul is downcast within me. Yet, this I call to mind and
therefore I have hope." Today my goal is to help you call to mind one of the beautiful,
powerful attributes of God that will give you hope when you're hurting. He said, I call
this to mind and therefore I have hope. "The faithful love of the Lord never ends," here's
our attribute, "His mercies never cease. Great is his faithfulness for his mercies begin
afresh each morning." Today, it is my honor to talk to you about the mercy of God. And
the title of today's message is "Hope When You Are Hurting." Father, give us hope
through your Word. May we experience your mercy, your goodness, your grace, and
your faithfulness, and be changed in your presence by the power of your Word. In
Jesus' name we pray, and everybody said, amen and amen. The mercy of God. This
subject is, honestly, it's a lot more complex, than most people would think. Honestly,
there are layers to every single attribute of God and there's a lot of overlap, but there's
also a lot of distinction. And so, one of my goals, whenever I'm communicating or
teaching is to really simplify, to take any kind of concept, and to make it really, really
simple. Now I'm gonna do that today. I'm gonna start simple and then I might confuse
you, which is exciting, because sometimes confusing preaching is called deep
preaching, have you ever noticed that? I mean, like, if it's confusing, it's deep, and so,
that's just kind of a preacher joke. But what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna start simple and
then we are gonna go a little bit deep into something that's complex, and hopefully
come back out on the other side with a very powerful and very simple truth. One of the
challenges when we talk about the attributes of God, I think a lot of people see them all
in kind of like this soupy, goopy stew. Like, they all kind of go in there together, like they
all kind of overlap, like there's love and joy, mercy and goodness, and he's just, and he's
faithful, and he is full of grace, and he's compassionate, and all this stuff. And all of those
are true and they do all overlap, but they're also very unique and quite distinct. For
example, today, I wanna give you three of the attributes or qualities of God that are
closely related, but they're actually very, very different in function. We're gonna look at
three just to build our foundation. One is justice, one is grace, one is mercy. They're
related, but yet, very, very distinct. What is justice? Justice is simply defined, whenever
you get what you deserve. And in our culture today, when someone does something
horrible, we tend to think, "Let justice be served," That's justice, somebody gets what
they deserve. Grace is when you get what you don't deserve. Do any of you deserve
salvation? The answer is no, we don't deserve it, but we're saved by grace. God gives us
something that we do not deserve. That's different from mercy. Mercy is when you don't
get what you do deserve. And they're all a little bit different. For example, most of us
like justice, until it comes down to us. We don't want justice with us, what do we want?
We want mercy. We don't want what we deserve, we don't wanna get what we actually
1
GodIs_1_Transcript
do deserve, we want other people to get justice, but oh, we want mercy. For example,
how many of you've ever gotten a ticket for driving too fast? Ready for a little fact? I've
never gotten a ticket for driving too fast. That's amazing. 54 years old and I know just
this week, I'm gonna get pulled over and I've crushed my records. Ha! But I've never
gotten a ticket for that. But I did get one ticket in my life and it was for an expired
license tag. I went, Amy was with me, we went to the traffic court thing, I don't know if
you've ever been there before, but I don't wanna talk bad about anybody, but I felt
really humiliated. Number one, about a third of the people knew me in there, like,
"Pastor Craig's here, what did he do wrong?" I know that, I know that, Life.Church, you
know, whatever. And so, I went in there and it was funny 'cause the guy at the front was
calling people up, and everybody in there, I promise you, they were all innocent. It's like,
"Was it you?" "It wasn't my fault." "Well, I wasn't really speeding." "Well, I didn't make
that left turn." "Well the light was green," or, "The light was yellow," whatever.
Everybody in there, it wasn't their fault. When he called me up, he's like, "Craig
Groeschel." They're like, "Oh, that's Pastor Craig." And I walked up all the walk of shame
up to the front. And I stood before him, he said, "What's your story?" I said, "I am just,
I'm sorry. I'm an idiot, I forgot, I'm guilty." And he looked at me just shocked. He said,
"What did you just say?" And I said, "I'm sorry." He said, "Not that part, the other part." I
said, "I'm guilty." He said, "No, no, no, no, the other part, the good part." I said, "I'm an
idiot?" He said, "Yeah, that part." And I thought, "Oh, he's gonna, like, shame me." And
he just said to me the true story, he's like going, "Can you say that again?" I said, "I'm an
idiot." And he said, "What kind of an idiot are you?" I said, "I'm a guilty idiot." He said,
"Could you say it louder?" And he gave me this look kinda like, just trust me and work
with me. He said, "Can you say it louder?" So I was kind of falling along, all right. It's like,
"I'm a guilty idiot. I'm a guilty, guilty idiot. I'm the worst. Bad, bad, bad, bad me. I'm a
guilty idiot." And the guy looked at me and he said, "Oh, my gosh, all these other people
are innocent. You're guilty. I can't have you're guilt infecting them. You're forgiven, go
outta here." And I walked out of there with no ticket for the Groeschel. Somebody,
that's mercy. That's when I was wrong and I deserved punishment, but I didn't get the
punishment. We want justice for other people, but we tend to want mercy for ourselves.
And God, this is good news, is a merciful God. I wanna show you a text in Ephesians 2
that is not fun. It's not fun at all. Paul contrast our spiritual condition without Christ, our
nature without Christ. He contrasts that with God's mercy. And he says in Ephesians 2:1
3, he says, "Once you were dead because of your disobedience and many sins." So first
of all, he says, "You're spiritually dead because you did a lot of things wrong." Then he
said, "You used to live in sin like the rest of the world, obeying the devil." So watch what
he's saying. You're spiritually dead and you're obeying the devil. Then he said, "All of us
used to live that way, following the passionate desires and inclinations of our sinful
nature." We did whatever felt good, whatever we wanted. "By our very nature," Paul
says, "we were subject to God's anger or his wrath, just like everyone else." So, let's
summarize this and see what he is saying. He's saying without Christ, you are spiritually
dead. Not physically dead, spiritually dead, because your disobedience to God. You're
obeying the devil without Christ. And you're following your sinful desires and you're
subject to God's anger or his wrath. That's confusing, when we at church preach about a
loving God. And this is where it gets a little bit complex. How can a loving God also be
an angry God? That doesn't make sense to me. What I wanna try to show you is that
love and anger can unquestionably coexist. They can unquestionably coexist. I'm gonna
give you an analogy and I wanna warn you, it's gonna break down because I'm gonna
compare God to you. And the problem is, if you haven't noticed, you ain't God, okay? So
it does break down some, but it is going somewhere. For example, if you have a child,
and you love your child, but your child lies to you, what do you feel? You feel
2
GodIs_1_Transcript
simultaneous love toward your child and anger at the sin. And yet, but, they coexist. If
you have a friend that you love, but your friend likes to drink too much and drive drunk,
you can simultaneously love your friend, and be really, really mad your friend is putting
himself or herself and other people in danger. They coexist. You can love your husband
so much, but when he doesn't put the toilet lid down, Come on somebody, okay? You
might not love him in that moment, and you're asking for God's help to love him. You
can both love and be angry at the same moment. And so, when God is angry, he can
both love people, and be angry at that which hurts his creation at the same time. And
Paul is talking about this in the nuance, as he says, "Without Christ, you're subject to his
wrath. He's angry at the filth, the horror, the sin, that goes against everything of his
holiness." And then in verse four, you see two of the best words in all of the Bible.
Remember, what are we without Christ? We're dead in our sins. We're obeying the devil.
We are subject to God's anger. And then Paul says, "But God," somebody say, "But
God." Say it again, he says, "But God." He says, "But God is so rich in," what? "But God is
so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much that even when we were dead because of our
sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead." In other words, even though
we deserve to be punished, because of God's rich mercy, he didn't give us what we
deserve. If you ever are tempted to think, "Well, God's not fair." Sometimes you need to
say, "Thank God he's not fair." Because if he was fair, I would get what my sins deserve.
God is rich in mercy. In fact, that's a, rich word in the Greek is the word éleos and this
word is a present tense word. What it means is that God lives in a continual, ongoing
state of mercy. It's an unending state of mercy. He is rich in mercy. It's continual. In
other words, it's always been there. It always will be there. And that's why it's new every
morning. It was there yesterday. It was new today. It'll be new tomorrow because it
does not end. It's always there. It's continual, unending. He is abounding in rich mercy.
You may say, "But, wouldn't God like the kick off angry God in Old Testament strike him
dead?" And now he's like the loving, wink, wink at sin, push over God in the New
Testament. No, no, no, no, no, no. He's always been just, and he's always been merciful.
He's always been righteous and he's always been loving. And here's the problem, this is
why so many people have a wrong view of God. And let me just, again, we're gonna go
deep. This is deep. It may be confusing, but that's deep, okay? This is where people go
wrong. So many people, they don't understand God because their view of God starts in
Genesis 3, and it ends in Revelation 20. It starts in Genesis 3 and ends in Revelation 20.
If you don't know Genesis 3, that's when Adam and Eve fell. That's when they sinned.
That's when they disobeyed God. And Genesis 20 talks about the punishment. That's
the judgment. That's the eternal damnation. And so, for so many people, when they
think about God, their theology is, you're a sinner and you're going to hell. You're
pathetic and you're going to hell. You fell short and you're going to hell. You're not a
good person, you're going to hell. But that's not where the story of God started. And
that's not where the story of God ends. The beginning is in Genesis 1. And in Genesis 1,
God created everything and said, "It's good. It's all good. The oceans are good. The
mountains are good. The skies are good. The birds are good. The fish are good. The
watermelon's good. It's all good." Then he created people. And he didn't say people
were good, he said, "Now, man is very good." This is where it started. It started with the
goodness of God. And he said, "This is so good, enjoy it all. Be naked. Multiply. Have fun.
Party in the garden. Just don't eat the fruit of this one tree. This is one." And then Adam
and Eve gave in to temptation and ate the one. God said, "If you eat of that, you'll surely
die." They ate it and did they die a physical death? No, they died a spiritual death. And
what did God do? Because he's a mean judgmental, angry God. He struck 'em dead on
the spot and made little black spots right there by his first blade of grass. Then you'll
say, "No, that's not what he did. He said, "Hey, I'm sorry, there are consequences for
3
GodIs_1_Transcript
what you did. I've got bad news for you, child birth, child bearing's gonna be really hard,
and you're gonna work a lot." That's what's coming. There's some consequences. But
then what did God do? In his mercy, which is new every morning, that has been there
from the beginning and will be there till the end, in his mercy, he sacrificed an innocent
animal, and made coverings with the skin for their shame. His mercy is new every
morning. It was there at the very beginning. It starts with his mercy and his goodness,
and it goes all the way to the end in Revelation 21 and 22, when we see that God makes
all things new again. It starts with good, it ends with good, because his mercy is new
every morning. When you understand the nature of God, yes, he's always just, but he's
always mercy. Your only reasonable response in view of God's mercy, we offer our lives
as living sacrifices. He's always been good, he always will be good. Are you tracking
with me? Is this a little bit deep? Oh, I was hoping you would say yes. Okay, we'll keep
going on, all right. In the Old Testament, David sinned. And you may be thinking there's
the Bathsheba thing, shoot him up on the roof, okay? This is a different time. David
actually was pretty dang good at sin. Thankfully, God is a God of mercy. And this was a
sin that could have had some pretty big consequences to a lot of people in the Old
Testament. And I want you to watch what David did, is he wanted to turn to God, but I
want you to watch who he didn't wanna turn to when he had done wrong. He says this
in 2 Samuel 24, he said, "Let us fall into the hands of the Lord." Why? "For his mercy is
great." He'll have mercy for my wrongdoing. Let me run to the God who is a merciful
God. And then he say, "But do not let me fall into human hands." I think that's kind of
funny. I wanna go to a merciful God, because God may show mercy, but so many
people won't. Am I telling the truth, right? Am I telling the truth? God may be a merciful
God, but, oh, my gosh, if you mess up, people will pile along. And the tragedy is that, so
often, those who should be most merciful, the body of Christ, are often those who show
the least mercy. We're gonna come back to this thought because it's really, really
important. But what I wanna do first is I wanna show you just how much mercy means
to God. Just how much it matters to God. In fact, if you look in the Old Testament,
they're the most ridiculous, detailed descriptions of how God wanted his holy temple
built, okay? If you don't know, the holy temple would be his dwelling place, and you can
read again and again, I mean so many details, it'll make you wanna skip that day of Bible
reading. Like, this is how you build a portico and here's the entry, and here's the store
room, and here's the upper part, and here's the dimensions. It can be this much and this
much by this much, this long, and here's the cubits, and here's the gold, and here's the
silver, here's the bronze, and you do all this kind of stuff. And then God says, "In the
middle of my house, what I want you to build is a place of atonement. In the very middle
of all the descriptive glory and beauty of my house, I want you to build a mercy seat."
Why? Because God was saying, "In my house, I want you to always make room for
mercy." Make room for mercy. It's in the center of my house, it's in the center of my
heart. It's the core of who I am. Because with the birth of every new day, my mercy is
already there. James was the one who said that mercy triumphs over judgment. Why is
it that those people, Christians, who should be full of the most mercy? Why? Because
we receive the most mercy. Why is it that those who receive the most mercy are often
the most judgemental? Oh, dear God, help us all. Help us all. Help us all. Perhaps one of
the biggest reasons why so many people stay away from God today, not because of
who God is, but because how we represent God. It's narrow-minded, hypocritical,
judgmental Christians without mercy. And that's why, because we are people who have
received mercy, we should be the most merciful. What is our message? It's the message
of Jesus. It's the message that Jesus is knocking on the door. And if anyone opens up,
Jesus comes in. In other words, our message is come as you are. Come with your pain.
Come with your brokenness. Come with your sinfulness. Come with your insecurities.
4
GodIs_1_Transcript
Come with your dysfunctions. Come with your drug problem. Come with your porn
addiction. Come with your lying. Come with your envy. Come with your guilt. Come with
the things that you don't want anybody to know about. And just come to Jesus, just
come to Jesus. Just come to Jesus. I'm not here to judge. I've received mercy. I want
you to have the same mercy. It doesn't mean that we won't tell the truth, but it certainly
means we're not gonna judge you away. Come just as you are. Come with your doubts.
Come with your doubts. We're gonna talk with about more of this this year. There's so
many people that have a question about God. They doubt. And the church says you
can't doubt, and so they leave the church, like, this should be the safest place in the
world to take your doubts to God. This should be the place we're most secure with the
most complicated questions about God. You think God hadn't heard it before? Come
with your questions to God. Come with your complaints to God. Come with the things
that make you crazy about the church. You think there's a lot of things you don't like?
Listen, I am here every day. I can give you a longer list of things I don't like. We're not
perfect. We'll never be perfect. We're far from perfect. We can't be perfect. So, because
we're not perfect, we don't demand perfection. We have been forgiven, we are people
of grace. And so, my message is just like, come on and join me. I need forgiveness, you
need forgiveness. Let's just go to Jesus. He is so good. He is so good. Let's let him
straighten us out 'cause I can't straighten you out and you can't straighten me out. So
let's just go to him together. Make room for mercy. In the middle of my house, make
room for mercy. If there's anything in the middle of make room for mercy, make room
for mercy in the church, make room for mercy in your heart. Some of you, you need to
receive the mercy of God. He's given it to you, now receive it. Accept it. You're forgiven.
You're changed. You are new. That thing that you hate about yourself, that you can't let
go. Why are you holding onto something that God has already forgiven? Make room for
mercy. Look at the person next to you and say, make room for mercy. Type it in chat,
make room for mercy. Make room for mercy. Make room for mercy. There's a difference
between justice, grace, and mercy. What is justice? Justice is very clear. It's when you
get what you deserve. And boy, we like when people get justice, except for when it's us.
And then there's grace. Grace is when you get what you don't deserve. Nobody here
deserves salvation. Nobody here can earn it. You're saved by grace. Grace is when you
get what you don't deserve, and mercy is when you don't get what you do deserve. I
wonder who's thankful for the mercy of God in their lives today. Thank God for his
mercy. Thank God for his mercy. Thank God that I do not get what my sins deserve.
Thank God that in his mercy, God sent Jesus. And what makes it even more emotional is
when someone sins, someone must die. God is just, but he's also merciful. So, because
of my sin, someone had to pay the price. And this is where it gets really difficult. That
someone was the Son of God, who paid it for me in my place. The one who never sinned
paid it for me. My ticket, wasn't just forgiven, but someone paid for my wrongdoing, for
my sinfulness. Our only reasonable response, the author says this, "Let us present our
bodies as holy sacrifice, living sacrifices." This is our holy and acceptable act of worship.
That's what we do, living for Jesus is worship. Worship and just singing a song. It's
because of his mercy. I worship him with the way that I live. Thank God for his mercy.
Thank God for his mercy. Some of you may say, "Well, I thank God for his mercy, but I'm
still hurting." And I know that so many of you are, there's so much pain going on right
now. When I look around at those who are closest in my life, I see more brokenness. I
see more sadness. I see more anxiety. I see more tension, that I think I've seen in 31
years of ministry today. I wanna go back to what Jeremiah said in Lamentations 3, he
said this, he said, "The faithful love of the Lord," this is so good, "it never ends." It's
continual. It's never-ending. "His mercies never cease." They were there in Genesis 1, and
they're in the end of Revelation. He's always been a God of mercy and he'll always be
5
GodIs_1_Transcript
merciful God. He's always been just and he's always merciful. And then the author says,
"Great is his faithfulness, his mercies begin afresh each morning." Whatever it is that you
need from God, his arms are open wide. He starts with mercy. He was merciful
yesterday, he's merciful today, he'll be merciful tomorrow. Whatever you need, his grace
starts anew today. His goodness starts anew today. His compassion starts anew today.
His love for you, it never ends. Whatever you need from God, he is good. He's always
been good. He loves you. He is a God of justice and he is a God of compassion. And so,
when you are downcast and when you are hurting, just like the prophet, you call this to
mind and therefore you have hope. This is who my God is. This is what he's done. He's
always been good. He's always been loving. He's always been faithful. He did for me,
what I couldn't do for myself. When I am alone, he is with me. He will never leave me. He
will never forsake me. He is the God who comforts me in my trials. He is the God who
strengthens me when I'm broken. He is the God who heals me when I'm sick. Where can
I go for my spirit? He is always there. If I wake up, he's there. When I go to sleep, he's
there. He was with me last night. He'll be with me this morning because his mercies
never cease. They are new every morning. So if you find yourself hurting today, I bring
good news to you. His mercies are new every single morning. And it's available for you
today. Wherever you're hurting, wherever you're afraid, take it to God. He can handle
your doubts. He can handle your fears. He can handle your brokenness. He can handle
your anxiety. He can handle your complaints. He can handle your sin. Take it to God, he
is there. His mercies are new every morning. Father, we pray today, that by the power
of your spirit, you would do a work in our church that only you can do. Speak to us,
God. Move, God. Today, as you're reflecting at all of our different churches, those of you
who are hurting, you've got a burden. You've got a weight, maybe an unanswered
prayer, could be a sin that you're trying to overcome, could be someone betrayed you,
could be any number of things, a financial burden, you're asking for healing, whatever it
is, you feel alone? Maybe you feel afraid, you're full of questions. If you need the
presence of God right now, would you lift up your hands? Just all of our churches, lift up
your hands. You can type it in the chat, "I need the presence of God." Father, I ask that
by your grace, we will come to you, not with a Genesis 3 mindset, starting with our
sinfulness, but instead of Genesis 1 mindset, starting with your goodness, that you're
good, you let us come. And even when we fail, because of your rich mercy, you sent
Jesus for us, so we trust you. You're the most trustworthy God. You're always a good
God. So, Father, we ask that you would meet whatever needs that we have. We cast our
burdens on you because you care for us. We cry out to you, God. We bring our
questions, we bring our doubts, we bring our fears. And, God, we choose to trust you.
Would you, at this moment, in a way that only you could do, would you minister to your
sons, to your daughters, show us your grace, your goodness, your love, your
compassion, your mercy, that is new every morning. Reveal yourself. We thank you,
God, that you are exactly what we need. As you keep praying today, we talked about
justice, we talked about grace, we talked about mercy. Justice is when people get what
they deserve. And it's a hard truth, but when we're talking about a holy and a perfect
God, when we sin against that God, justice is that we pay, somebody has to pay. That's
justice. The amazing thing is Jesus the Son of God, he gave his life as the Lamb of God,
the perfect sacrifice, for the forgiveness of our sins. So what do we get? Well, by the
grace of God, we get salvation. Meaning, we're saved by the grace of God through faith.
It's a gift of God. We didn't earn it. We get something that we didn't earn or deserve.
And we get the mercy of God, that even though we deserve punishment, Jesus paid
that price for us. Let me tell you what, there is no better news. There is no better news
from the time you're born, 'til the time your life ends. And a God who is that holy and
that just, and that loving, and that merciful, that is a good God. In view of God's mercy,
6
GodIs_1_Transcript
in view of what he did for us through Jesus, our only reasonable response is to give him
our whole life. And that's what I'm gonna ask you to do right now. And I want you to
listen very, very carefully. There are some of you, you've been around the church for a
long time, I'm talking to you. Being a Christian isn't just pray a little prayer. It's not
joining a little class. It's not checking a box or going to a membership class. It's a full on
life-submitted-to-following-Jesus. It's a wholly devoted life to Jesus. It's not a one-time
prayer, it's a lifestyle. It's a commitment. It's a relationship with the God of the universe.
How do we start that relationship? We step away from our wrongdoing. We step away
from our sinfulness, and we recognize what Jesus did, who he is, the Son of God, who
paid the penalty for our sins, died in our place, and God rose him from the dead. Now,
by the grace of God, you can get what you don't deserve, salvation. By the grace of
God, we don't pay the penalty we do deserve. Mercy and forgiveness. And because of
that, our only response is I give you all of me. All of me. I'm not a part-time Christian. It's
not this is to keep me outta hell. Like, this is a all of me. God, I wanna belong to you, I
give my life to you. In all of our churches today, some of you you're gonna recognize,
that Christianity's not just a little thing you add onto your life, it is your life. You know
you've sinned. You know you need forgiveness. You know you need a savior. And so
today, you're stepping away from that. You're recognizing that justice was served when
Jesus died and paid the price. And grace was extended, and mercy is given today if
you'll receive it. And your response is I give you my whole life. All of our churches, those
who say, "I need this, forgive me this. I wanna follow him, I wanna give him my," that's
my response. I see who he is, I know what he's done. This isn't joining a church, this isn't
some kind of religious feel-good thing. This is a full-blown, all-in commitment, to the one
who gave his life for me. Jesus, I surrender. I wanna be your disciple. Wherever you're
watching today, you need him, you want his forgiveness. You're ready to be a follower
of Jesus. Give him your life. All-in, Jesus, save me, I give you my life. It's your prayer. Lift
your hands high right now all over the place. Lift 'em up, come on, everybody. We've
got people today in all of our churches saying, "Yes, Jesus, I surrender my life
completely to you." Those of you online, will you just type it in the comment section,
"I'm giving my life to Jesus. I'm giving my life to Jesus because of his mercy." This is my
response. Would you pray with those around you? Pray, heavenly Father, take my life
today. Jesus, forgive my sins. Please save me. Thank you for justice on the cross. Thank
you for grace that saves me, and thank you for mercy that's new every morning.
Because of who you are, because of what you've done. I give you my whole life. All of it,
every bit of it. Jesus, you're my savior. You are first. I will follow you every day of my
life. Thank you for new life. I give you all of mine. In Jesus' name I pray. Oh, I need some
people who are excited to give God praise today. Let's thank him for his justice, his
grace, and his mercy.
