Jesus told the Pharisees that they needed to go learn what ‘I desire mercy and not sacrifice’ means. If Jesus thought it was necessary for the Pharisees to learn what God meant when He said this through the Prophet Hosea, shouldn’t we also learn what this means? If it was important 2,000 years ago, it’s important now. Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he opens our eyes to the meaning behind this teaching in his passion-filled message, I Desire Mercy.

I Desire Mercy
9 As Jesus passed on from there, He saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax booth, and He said to him, “Follow me.” And he rose and followed Him. 10 And as Jesus reclined at table in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and were reclining with Jesus and His disciples. 11 And when the Pharisees saw this, they said to His disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?” 12 But when He heard it, He said, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. 13 Go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.’ For I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.”
