He unpacks the profound warning that our possessions can possess *us*, blinding us to the suffering of those at our very gates. The parable serves not just as a tale about the afterlife, but as an urgent alarm for the living, confronting us with the reality that how we use our resources has eternal consequences.

"Get Smart" - David McGaw by Holy Trinity Silicon Valley

Why is the ancient plea, "Lord have mercy," still the most vital expression of faith? This week, we dive deep into the boundless mercy of God, exploring its biblical roots—from Moses' radical advocacy for Israel after the Golden Calf to Christ's parables of the joyful search for the lost sheep and the lost coin. Discover how to humbly receive this daily mercy through repentance (like David in Psalm 51) and learn how God’s love provides not only forgiveness, but the healing and restoration needed to transform your life, work, and relationships.
