Stagione 1
God has not run out of mercy—not for you, not today. On Tuesday, February 17, our reading takes us to Haggai 1—a short chapter with a long shadow. The people are back from exile, free to rebuild… and they start with their own houses while God’s house sits in ruins. And the issue isn’t money. It’s priority. Haggai exposes a deadly phrase we still use today: “Not yet.” “We’ll obey later.” “We’ll rebuild later.” “We’ll get serious later.” But spiritual procrastination is never neutral—delayed obedience is disobedience. God’s question is sharp: Is it time for you to live in paneled houses while My house lies in ruins? In other words: How did your comfort get finished first and My glory get pushed to the bottom of the list? Because what you prioritize is what you worship. Then comes the refrain that won’t let you off the hook: “Consider your ways.” Look at your life. Look at your calendar. Look at your bank account. Look at what gets your first, your best, your energy, your attention. Haggai names the fruit of misaligned priorities: busy but barren. Eating but not satisfied. Drinking but still empty. Working hard, but it’s like putting wages into a bag with holes—always leaking, always stressed, always chasing. This episode is a wake-up call: full schedules, empty souls. God doesn’t want your leftovers—He wants your first love. So today’s challenge is simple and ruthless: consider your ways. What does your life say you worship? And what needs to move back to the top—today, not later.
God has not run out of mercy—not for you, not today. On February 16, we’re back in Titus 3 one more time—because sometimes you don’t need a new passage, you need fresh eyes on the same one. After hearing Titus 3 preached, we return to the final lines of the letter (Titus 3:12–15) and Paul pulls the curtain back on what real ministry looks like. It’s not always a platform. Sometimes it’s painfully practical: “Do your best… see that they lack nothing.” Paul tells Titus to send gospel workers forward—Zenas and Apollos—and to send them well supplied. The mission keeps moving, and the church’s job is to make sure the work isn’t slowed down by what could’ve been provided. Then the punch lands: Paul isn’t asking if you’re faithful. He’s asking if you’re fruitful. You can attend every week and still be unproductive spiritually. God didn’t call you to be an “attendance guy.” He called you to be a disciple who produces fruit that lasts—holiness, obedience, disciple-making, and a life that actually looks like Jesus in the real world. So today’s question is simple and uncomfortable: What are you producing? And the closing encouragement is exactly what you need to hear: “Grace be with you all.” Because it takes grace to stay fruitful in a culture that trains you to drift. Don’t just be present. Be productive. And may grace be with you today.
God has not run out of mercy—not for you, not today. February 14 takes us to Psalm 103, and this is a worshipful gut-check. Titus 3 told us the truth: salvation doesn’t flow from merit—it flows from mercy. Psalm 103 turns that doctrine into doxology. David starts by talking to his own soul: “Bless the Lord, O my soul… and forget not all his benefits.” Translation: worship isn’t always spontaneous—sometimes it’s intentional. And if we’re honest, a lot of us don’t have a worship problem… we have a forgetting problem. Here’s today’s challenge: stop casually remembering God. Because you will never consistently worship a God you casually remember. Psalm 103 forces you to remember what you keep overlooking: He forgives. He heals. He redeems. He crowns. He satisfies. He doesn’t just pull you out of the pit—He puts a crown on your head. He doesn’t just erase your sin—He restores your soul. And if you’re waiting to “feel” worship, this psalm says: start remembering. Write it down. Rehearse it. Preach to your own heart. So today, don’t scroll past grace. Don’t yawn at mercy. Don’t forget the benefits. Read all 22 verses. Slow down. Let each line hit you. And then live like someone who’s been forgiven, healed, redeemed, crowned, and satisfied—because you have. Remember Him. And worship like you mean it.
God has not run out of mercy—not for you, not today. On February 13, we’re back in Titus 3—not to repeat ourselves, but to let the Word sink in before Sunday. Paul’s message is crystal clear: you can bank on the gospel. “The saying is trustworthy.” This is not religious hype. This is a verdict. Today’s focus is Titus 3:8–11—what happens after mercy finds you. Paul tells Titus, “Insist on these things.” Keep saying it. Keep affirming it. Don’t let the gospel become background noise—because when grace becomes “just there,” we start treating Scripture like the stars: beautiful, constant… and ignored. But the gospel isn’t decoration. It’s oxygen. So here’s the push: insist on grace—and then let grace produce a life that matches it. Not works to earn salvation, but good works as the fruit of salvation. The redeemed should be “careful to devote themselves to good works”—because this is what’s excellent and profitable for people. And then Paul draws a hard line: avoid the pointless fights—the debates that don’t make you look like Jesus. The controversies that loop forever. The divisive voices that love arguments more than the gospel. Protect the church. Keep the main thing the main thing. Today’s episode is a call to stop treating the Word like it’s casually available. Don’t just let it be there. Read the whole chapter. Take it slow. And insist on the truth until it shapes your life.
God has not run out of mercy—not for you, not today. February 12 takes us into Romans 5, where Paul grounds your faith in something sturdier than feelings: grace. If your peace with God rises and falls on your emotions, Romans 5 is here to steady you. In this episode, we trace what happens when you’ve been justified by faith: the war is over, the case is closed, the gavel has fallen—peace with God is yours through Jesus Christ. Grace isn’t a doorway you nervously step through; it’s the foundation you stand on. And then Paul goes deeper: grace doesn’t deny suffering—it outlasts it. Suffering produces endurance, endurance produces character, character produces hope… and hope doesn’t shame you, because God’s love has been poured into your heart by the Holy Spirit. Then comes the power: while we were still weak… still ungodly… still sinners… Christ died for us. Grace didn’t wait for worthiness. Grace created worthiness. Romans 5 ends by putting two outcomes side by side: Adam brought sin, death, and condemnation. Jesus brings righteousness, life, and justification. And where sin increased, grace abounded all the more. So here’s today’s word: stop living like the verdict is still up for debate. The cross settled it. Grace sealed it. Hope holds you fast.
God has not run out of mercy—not for you, not today. February 11 takes us to Luke 15, where Jesus puts flesh and bones on the truth we’ve been talking about: God is the One who finds the lost. Three parables. One message. A Shepherd who pursues, a Woman who searches, and a Father who runs. This isn’t about a careless sheep—it’s about an intentional Shepherd who carries the weight of your wandering on His shoulders. This isn’t about a coin “finding itself”—it’s about relentless grace turning the house upside down to bring you home. And this isn’t just a story—it “pulls blood from theology”: a Father embracing a son before he’s clean, kissing him before he confesses, restoring him without shame, and throwing a celebration that echoes in heaven. But Luke 15 doesn’t only confront the rebel who ran—it confronts the moral older brother who stayed… and is still lost. The chapter ends with a question that won’t leave you alone: Which son are you? If you’ve wandered, He pursues. If you’re helpless, He searches. If you’re ashamed, He runs. If you’re resentful, He comes outside for you too. Luke 15 isn’t about you getting your act together. It’s about realizing what kind of Father you’re coming home to.
God has not run out of mercy—not for you, not today. Tuesday, February 10 takes us into Titus 3:3–7, and Paul’s words do what they’re supposed to do: they humble you, wake you up, and pull you back to grace. In this episode, Pastor Anthony gives a simple but soul-rattling call: remember who you were… and live like you’ve been saved. Because it’s dangerously easy to get “mature” in the faith and forget the pit God pulled you out of. Titus 3 doesn’t romanticize the past—it names it: foolish, disobedient, led astray, enslaved to passions, drowning in envy, malice, and hatred. That’s what we once were. But then the most beautiful word breaks the darkness: “But…” “But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared…” He saved us. Not because we cleaned ourselves up. Not because we earned it. Not because we brought anything impressive to the table. He saved us according to His mercy—through the washing of regeneration, the renewing of the Holy Spirit, and the finished work of Jesus Christ. And He didn’t just rescue us—He adopted us: justified by grace, made heirs, given the hope of eternal life. So today’s challenge is clear: stop living like what you used to be. Live saved. If Jesus took the wrath for your sin and brought you into the Father’s family, then let your life point back to Him—with gratitude, holiness, and bold joy. You were once enslaved. But He saved you. Go live like it today.
In this episode of New Mercies, we open Titus 2 (especially vv. 11–14) and watch what grace actually does when it shows up. Grace doesn’t just save you—it trains you. It doesn’t only rescue you from the penalty of sin; it starts rewiring your appetites, your impulses, your habits, your yes’s and no’s. Paul’s message to Titus is blunt and beautiful: when the grace of God appears, it brings salvation… and then it starts a war inside of you. Not a war against “those people out there,” but a daily renouncing of the ungodliness in here—the old man, the lingering flesh, the worldly passions that keep trying to reclaim territory. And in place of what you renounce, grace produces something visible: Self-control inwardly Uprightness toward others Godliness in a watching world All of it anchored to one blazing reality: we are waiting for our blessed hope—Jesus returning, not as Savior this time, but as King. If the love of Jesus has truly penetrated your soul, it will change how you live today. And if it hasn’t… Titus 2 will lovingly confront you. Open the Word. Let it breathe. Let grace train you. And let the hope of His appearing reshape your life right now.
God has not run out of mercy—not for you, not today. The New Mercies Podcast is back, relaunched as a daily Scripture-centered moment designed to do more than inform you—it’s meant to bring you back to life. In this first episode, Pastor Anthony lays the foundation for why this podcast exists and why the Bible was never meant to be treated like a textbook or skimmed like content. Rooted in 2 Timothy 3, Ezekiel 37, and John 20, this episode reframes Scripture as what it truly is: the very breath of God. The Word doesn’t just teach—it breathes. And when we slow down long enough to wait on that breath, dry bones live again. This isn’t commentary. This isn’t noise. This is a daily invitation to open the Word, wait on the breath, and watch God bring life where things have felt dead. If Scripture has ever felt distant… If your faith has felt dry… If you’ve been skimming instead of breathing… This is where revival starts. New mercies. Every morning. One breath at a time.
