Blessed In The Mess: Seeing The Beloved In The Broken

Lakeside Church

Mercy is not merely an action, but a lens through which we are called to see others, especially the undeserving. In this message, Pastor Robyn Elliott explores Jesus’ teachings in the Beatitudes and his interactions with outcasts like tax collectors and sinners that reveal mercy as a transformative power, rooted in compassion and love for the broken. By shifting our perspective—embracing our own belovedness and extending it to others—we reflect God’s heart of mercy, which transcends retribution and offers restoration.
