1. Parables

2. Prodigal Son God’s mercy is never ending!
We are called to receive His mercy and bestow it upon others as well

3. Good Samaritan
Jesus tells us we are not only called to love our neighbor but our enemies as well
Both the Levite and the priest were on their way back from synagogue but refused to help a wounded man

4. Vineyard Parable
The man who works all day gets the same reward as the man who works an hour
We should not wish the kingdom of heaven to be held back from anyone

5. Rich Man and Lazarus
The rich man ignores Lazarus and does not receive mercy when he dies
If we are not merciful to others, how can we expect God to be merciful to us?

6. Unmerciful Servant
The servant refuses to forgive another, but expects to get forgiven himself
We can’t just receive God’s forgiveness and not give any to others in return
