I will never forsake you
Mother’s Day. It’s not that it’s tough to preach a Mother’s Day sermon. It’s just that it’s tough to preach an original one. I think a lot of mothers are a little tired of hearing sermons based on Proverbs 31. So. No Proverbs 31 today. Instead, it’s Isaiah 49:15-21. No fear or guilt today. Today, it’s reassurance. Compassion. Restoration. Many, many good things.

Kingdom Practice: Jesus, the Crowd, and the Critics
Luke 19:28-48 In Jesus' day – as today! – there were conflicting opinions about God and His mission in Christ. Some in the crowd wanted to use Jesus for their own personal, spiritual purposes. Others didn't want Him at all and were actively trying to destroy all He is and stands for. But, as we watch how Jesus responded, we find a pattern for our behavior today, as we partner with Him to "seek and save the lost."

Moses: Freedom From Slavery (Exodus 3:1-14)
The life of Moses is peppered with one supernatural act after the other. He was God’s man to lead God’s people out of slavery and into freedom. However, because Moses failed to honor God’s holiness and compassion he wasn’t able to enjoy the freedom that God wanted him to enjoy.

Eyes Full of Someone Else
We’re looking at the life of Jesus and in doing so building a biography, painting a portrait of Him so that our hearts can see Him more clearly. When we see Jesus face to face, we begin to be rebuilt, reconstructed, and reshaped as we come to know more about our God and ourselves and the effects of God’s grace as we begin to change.

Let God's Compassion Resonate Through Your Life
It is inevitable that there will come a day for each of us when we will stand before God and will be held accountable for our life on earth. The defining difference between a sheep and a goat is this: You are one of Jesus' sheep if you share God's compassion for people in need. In today's Bible text, we can learn three lessons about letting God's compassion resonate in our lives.

Living Beyond Ourselves
Luke 14:1-14 In chapters 14-17, Luke shows Jesus both modeling and teaching the essential truth that those who would follow Jesus must be characterized by humility. And this humility, which allows us to overlook ourselves, will produce a compassion that acts generously towards those in need of rescue, no matter their social standing.

Core Values - Compassion
Love should be the primary characteristic of a person who believes in Jesus Christ. God defined love for us by first loving us while we were wicked rebels and sending His Son Jesus to die in our place. Because we have been freely given so much love and compassion from God through His Son by the power of His Holy Spirit we then have the ability to pass that love and compassion on to others. The Apostle John teaches us that love is so important that if we do not love other people it is a sign that we do not know or love God, and the Apostle Paul teaches us that if we do not speak and act in love all of our words are a hollow clanging and our acts are empty gestures. We should arrange our thoughts and our daily activities to intentionally show compassion and mercy to the people that God has placed in our lives.

The Demands of Discipleship (Mark 6:7-56)
Grasping the majesty of Jesus Christ creates faith that springs into action: our seeing Christ produces faith in Christ, which produces obedience to Christ. We see the calling and service that we are summoned to as disciples; we see the great personal cost that discipleship requires -- laying down our lives -- and we are provoked to discipleship and service by compassion and gratitude rooted in the cross.

Prayer, Word, Deed
Ghandi once said, "I like your Christ; I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ." In this passage in Mark 1.35-45, we see 3 aspects of Jesus' ministry - his rich prayer life, his unsettling gospel message, and his passionate care for the marginalized. And in the story of the leper's cleansing, Mark presents to us how we ought to come to Jesus - confessing our sin-sick hearts and putting ourselves at his mercy. And if we come to Jesus like the leper, we can begin to be healed, so that our lives more accurately reflect the ministry of Jesus.

Disciplines of Life: Part Three
Continueing our study of Spiritual Disciplines as the avenues of transformation by God's grace, we look this morning at the Discipline of Solitude. Solitude is a gracious gift of God offered to help us break out of selfishness and the compulsion to impress others. In being alone, we discover who we truly are, and are able to listen to God and be refreshed by His Spirit. In being alone, we discover that we are never truly alone - and in this awareness, we are set free. In being alone, we are prepared to be in community, and out of solitude we will have the inner heart necessary for true compassion and missional engagement with others. In doing this, we are walking in the footsteps of Jesus who modelled for us a life of inter-dependency on the Father.

God Did It! Act 2
God is often at work"behind the scenes" through institutions and people to protect and provide for those who have sought refuge in Him. Faith actively seeks grace through the appointed means.

NEEDY
There is a great tension, we are called to be filled with God's compassion towards others. However, what does it mean to help people without enabling them? Even as Jesus cared more than anyone who has ever loved, he did not heal everyone or grant their request.

Acts 13:1-12 - Fighting Oversensitivity
Paul and Barnabas went out from the church in Antioch to spread the Gospel to other cities. They came to the island of Cyprus, where the work was opposed by a false prophet. Paul got right in the false prophet’s face, told him that he was full of lies and evil, and cured him with blindness. As we share the truth about Jesus we should not be oversensitive to offending people but we should have both compassion for the lost and the courage and boldness to call out sin and lies when we see them.
