Damian Boyd opens with a powerful prayer, calling the congregation to surrender to God and listen for His voice. He intercedes specifically for those who are deeply wounded and wrestling with offense, asking God to bring healing and hope to their hearts. Damian highlights that being "unoffendable" is central to the Beatitudes, the culture of God's Kingdom, and the very essence of the cross.

Approaching his message with humility, Damian sets the foundation by focusing first on who God is, then reflecting on his own journey, and finally turning to the congregation. He challenges the idea that we can simply move on from offense without a deep, transformative response rooted in God's character.

Damian's sermon is a powerful invitation to understand and embrace the distinct yet interconnected gifts of mercy and grace. He encourages believers to develop an unoffendable spirit, recognizing mercy as God's compassionate withholding of judgment—"You did wrong, but you won’t face the full consequences"—and grace as His unmerited favor—"Despite your wrongs, I will still bless you." This message serves as a profound reminder that God's mercy and grace are the foundation of our faith, guiding us in how we live, forgive, and respond to the challenges of life.
