Sermon
The Mercy of Jesus
Stonebrook Community Church
Speaker: Brad Barrett

Summary
Drawing from Mark 10:46-52, the sermon explores how Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, demonstrates persistent faith and humility in approaching Jesus for mercy, ultimately receiving not just physical healing but spiritual salvation. Listeners learn to admit their deepest needs, believe in Christ's power and compassion, ask for mercy rather than demand entitlement, and courageously approach God in their brokenness.
Highlights
What do you want me to do for you? What do you want me to do for you? Have we ever considered Jesus speaking to us like that with a tender heart, with all the power of heaven?
We come empty-handed, impoverished in our souls, and we just say, God, I know I don't deserve it. I know I've failed. I know I've been weak. I know I've been doubting, but would You help me?
Have courage. Get up. Jesus is calling to you. Some of us may need to hear those words this morning.
