A Lesson on Mercy

Pastor Kim leads a Wednesday evening discipleship study in Luke 9:51–56, focusing on mercy as the defining characteristic of a true disciple. Drawing on previous lessons about humility and avoiding divisiveness, Pastor Kim examines the disciples' desire to call fire down on a Samaritan village that rejected Jesus. The message highlights the sharp contrast between human reaction (judgment, fire) and the divine response (mercy, grace), emphasizing that Christ came to save lives, not destroy them. The sermon serves as a strong challenge to believers to prioritize redemptive love over retaliation, reflecting Jesus's spirit of meekness and moving peaceably to "another village" when doors close.
