What do you do when you have showed mercy for a long time, but you're getting to the end of your strength?
What does mercy look like in the case of someone who is persistently rebellious?
In the message you talked about how sin is unfaithfulness to God, but don't we also owe faithfulness to one another?
Isn't there a danger that if we show mercy when people do bad things that we will be endorsing those bad things—giving the impression that what they did is okay?
Jesus told the disciples that if a place didn't receive them, they were to shake the dust off their feet and leave. How is that compatible with showing mercy?
What if you are in business and you need to fire someone? Is that a lack of mercy?
This passage says God won't show mercy to those who are unmerciful. Should we?
Is it possible to forgive a person who is unrepentant?
Love covers over a multitude of sins, but aren't there cases where the most loving thing is to point out the sin? How do you know when to cover it and when to expose it?
If you are focusing on how much mercy you have received from God and how much you've been forgiven, isn't there a danger you could fall into self-condemnation?
