Exploring God's Mercy

This course, Exploring God's Mercy, guides small groups through five images of God's love and mercy, fostering deep reflection and discussion.

In Exploring God's Mercy, readers embark on a five-part journey designed for small groups, focusing on the profound truth that God loves us with a passion that is both deep and unconditional. This course delves into the rich tapestry of God's love as depicted in the Psalms and the Gospels, presenting five powerful images of divine mercy that have resonated with Christians throughout generations. The exploration reveals that the vastness of the human experience and God's redemptive actions cannot be confined to a single narrative or image; rather, it is expressed through a variety of metaphors and stories found in the Bible.

Each chapter of Exploring God's Mercy concentrates on one of these classic images of the Christian gospel: being lost yet found, trapped yet set free, sick in soul yet healed, in turmoil yet at peace, and barren yet becoming fruitful. Through engaging stories, references to popular culture, and biblical teachings, the book invites participants to reflect on these themes. It is designed to foster meaningful discussions, supported by multimedia resources like YouTube clips and film suggestions.

Furthermore, the course is equipped with discussion starters, thought-provoking questions, prayers, and a comprehensive leader's guide, making it a perfect fit for Lent groups or as an introductory course to the Christian faith at any time of the year. This thoughtful approach encourages participants to connect with God's mercy in a personal and transformative way.
