Summary
This past Sunday, guest speaker Pastor Ralph Castillo preached on "The Way of Mercy," showing us from the story of Jonah how God orchestrates moments of mercy in our lives to draw us closer to Him. Though we may often believe our way is better than His, God reminds us through his kindness that His ways are higher than our ways, and no matter how far we stray, He is always able to redeem our lives and use them for His glory.

| 0:00.0 | Well, good-day folks. Pastor John Tyson here. Hope you're doing well. |
| 0:03.6 | Wanted to take a moment just to say thank you to everybody who listens along to this podcast |
| 0:08.6 | around the city and around the world. We really had a remarkable year in the history of our church |
| 0:15.1 | this year. We've seen more people come to Christ than ever. And God is drawing near to our church. And I just wanted to just say thanks for |
| 0:24.1 | being a part of our listening and online community. And to remind all of you that we are doing an |
| 0:30.3 | offering this year called Living the Liturgy. Every week in our church, we say a liturgy asking God to |
| 0:35.6 | form our hearts out of mammon, greed and overconsumption |
| 0:38.8 | into being people who live by faith, give generously and trust the Lord with our finances. |
| 0:44.9 | And I just wanted to invite those of you who are part of our online community to consider giving to that. |
| 0:50.6 | We are getting ready for another really amazing year here in New York and we are so grateful for |
| 0:57.7 | the encouragement, prayers and support that we hear from so many who listen into this. |
| 1:02.1 | So I would ask you just to consider praying and asking the Lord if he would have you be one of |
| 1:07.7 | our partners who help the mission of God continue through New York City. |
| 1:12.8 | We wish everybody who listened would come and move to New York and join us, but we realize |
| 1:17.2 | that's not everybody's call and it's not possible. But you can join us in prayer and support |
| 1:23.9 | and enable what happens here in the city to be a part of your ministry legacy |
| 1:29.0 | and your spiritual fruit. So you can go to church.m.m.c slash give if you'd like to be a part of that. |
| 1:37.5 | And thanks so much for everything you do to listen along, pray for us, support us and encourage us. |
| 1:43.1 | Okay, let's go back to the podcast. |

| 1:50.4 | that you're listening along. We're in a series right now called The Way of Jesus where we're |
| 1:54.5 | talking about what it means to follow him well in a city and culture like ours. If we can help you in any way, please feel free to reach out, and you can find out more |
