The ability to show mercy stems from our deep security in God's love, as highlighted in Ephesians 3:17, which reminds us that our roots grow strong in His love. Mercy becomes our default response when we release resentment and create a culture of peace, acknowledging each person's unique journey without judgment. Bob illustrated this through the parable of the prodigal son, where the father welcomed his son back without shame, demonstrating that mercy fosters connection rather than control. Ultimately, choosing mercy, love, and trust over judgment and fear allows us to experience new beginnings and transformation in ourselves and our relationships. 08/10/2025 | Vida Church
