Sermon Title: Will You Still Follow Jesus? Living Mercy in a Reversing World

Sermon Outline

1. Remembering the Saints, Renewing the Call
We honor the quiet faithfulness of those who came before us—and ask how we might follow Jesus today with the same mercy and courage.

2. Blessings and Woes: A New Way to Measure Life
Jesus reverses our assumptions about success and suffering, inviting us to build our lives on compassion, not comfort.

3. From Passive to Active: Choosing Mercy
Discipleship means reclaiming our inner life from bitterness and choosing grace—even when it’s hard.

4. Who Are We Waiting For?
Jesus calls us to initiate love, not wait for others to earn it. Mercy begins with our own posture.

5. Who Subverted First?
God’s mercy came first—while we were still sinners. Our discipleship is a response to that grace.

6. We Subvert by Following
To be merciful is to reflect God’s character. This is how saints change the world—one act of love at a time.

7. The Invitation: Will You Still Follow?
A call to live the Gospel not just with words, but with our lives. To be saints—not perfect, but faithful.
