Compassion and City Living: Cultivating a Life of Mercy
Throughout the Bible, God shows us his heart for the needy and vulnerable. In the Old Testament, God calls on Israel to advocate for the downtrodden and oppressed. In the New Testament, Jesus dedicates much of his ministry to those on the margins of society - the widow, the orphan, the sojourner, or the poor. As followers of Jesus, many of us encounter needs in our city and want to love as God does, but don’t always know how to respond or where to start.
This seminar will explore the significance of mercy to the heart of God and offer resources to help you better respond to needs in your community. Together we will discuss biblical foundations for the discipline of compassion, the unique challenges of city life, and some practical ways we can respond.
We will meet in person from 9 AM - 11 AM. Childcare will be provided, but you must register by February 7 to guarantee availability.
