Pastor Jon Cathie continues the theme of Jesus' Mercy Mission with an emphasis on the favour of God.

The message of the cross must be backed by the mission for the lost.

What does it mean when it says the time of the Lord's favour has come?

Three foundational truths fulfilled in the person of Jesus Christ.

Acceptance through Christ's willing sacrifice. He made a way for us to be accepted back to God.

Access through Christ's saving grace to the throne of God. We can boldly enter into his presence with total assurance through the blood of Jesus Christ. We bear his name.

Abundance through Christ's generous favour. God's blessing abounds where his message is preached and his mercy is administered.

We must be motivated by his mercy.
