The Spirit Anointed Christ for Mercy is a eight-part Lenten sermon and service series available from LCMS World Relief and Human Care (WR-HC). Written by Rev. Bernie Seter, chairman of WR-HC’s board of directors, the series is based on Luke 4:18-19 and examines the church’s corporate life of mercy.

"Rev. Bernie Seter is one of a kind. He has remained in North Dakota at his very first call for some 30 years. He has served in many different capacities in the district and Synod. He has chaired LCMS World Relief and Human Care’s board for over four years. He has a heart for mercy like few others, and combines that with keen insight into the human condition. This series is a wonderful demonstration of how to preach Law and Gospel, and to open hearts to living mercifully."
