When Mercy Confronts You :: Return to Me :: Alvin Brown


What if the hard stuff you’re going through isn’t random, but actually God trying to get your attention?

In When Mercy Confronts You, Pastor Alvin Brown teaches from the powerful message of the prophet Joel, showing how God’s mercy doesn’t always show up as comfort, but sometimes, it comes as a much-needed wake-up call in the form of confrontation.

Maybe life feels heavy right now. Maybe things are unraveling, or just quietly wearing you down. 

What if, in all of that, God is confronting what’s been slowly pulling you away from Him, not to shame you, but to bring you back?

Whether you feel far from God or you’re just trying to figure out what He’s up to in your life, this message is an honest invitation to return to Him. Not out of fear. Not with guilt. But with the hope that His mercy is still wide open.

Because when staying numb to the hard stuff just doesn’t work anymore, Joel reminds us it’s not too late to come back.

Hit play and confront the fact that God’s not waiting to punish you. He’s waiting to restore you.
