COMPASSION
MATTHEW 14:14 + 20:34 | CRAIG M. CASEY | APR 28 2024
HELPING PEOPLE DISCOVER + EXPERIENCE THE LIFE-CHANGING LOVE OF CHRIST
Social Media = very popular very quickly + disappears as quickly
- 2014 ALS Ice Bucket Challenge
- 2021 Haiti Earthquake
- 2024 Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse
Social Media = struggle with compassion
- Focus on self
- Compassion fatigue
- Lack of personal connection
True Compassion demands Action
- compassion = σπλαγχνίζομαι = to be moved in the inward parts
- Mark 1:40-41
- Matthew 14:14
- Matthew 20:34
Compassion:
- Interrupts
- Costs
- Changes lives
Would you be courageous enough to pray to The Lord today:
- God, I give you permission to stir my insides, to interrupt my plans and even if it costs me…God please work in me and through me to care for others, to show love, to be filled with compassion.
