Message: “Compassionate, Gracious, Slow to Anger, Abounding in Love (Psalm 103:1-17, John 1:9-18)” from David Carey Dixon

A message from the series "Sunday Service." As we start up a new academic year, we are meditating on the perspectives we need for facing new challenges. One of our greatest needs is to renew our vision of God as He revealed Himself in Scripture. There is an Old Testament phrase that God used with Moses as His "self-definition": "Yahweh, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in lovingkindness and faithfulness" (Ex. 34:6). This description is repeated eight times in the Old Testament, but only in one fragment in the New. We will explore its meaning as we seek to refresh our own personal relationship to the God of the ages and understand how this description assumed human form in Jesus Christ.

As we look at John 15, we must remember the context. Jesus was talking with His disciples. It was the end of the Last Supper, right before they walked to the Garden of Gethsemane where Jesus would be arrested. Jesus had just told them that one of them would betray Him. He had talked of how He was leaving and where He was going, they could not come. He informed them that king of this world, satan, was coming. He told them how the Father would send a Helper, the Holy Spirit to be with them. He talked of how by faith they greater things than even would do He had done and that they were to love one another as He had loved them. That is how the world would know that they are His disciples.
