Everyday we rub shoulders with people. Be it at work, at home, at the market. Today, Carl shares with us how we should approach these everyday opportunities that God has given to us!
The Strength of Sacrifice
Bill Hybels said “Sometimes, authenticity fails to grab people’s attention; Compassion is occasionally written off as the opiate of do-gooders who may have some ulterior motive. But sacrifice motivated by genuine love and concern, is extremely difficult to discount.”
As we continue this week on the series of evangelism, God is challenging us to look into making the biggest sacrifice of modelling the Christian lifestyle for the long haul. Click the link to listen now!
Becoming A Compassion-Fuelled Church
In a season where the church is called into the harvest field, compassion is the fuel that gives us the motivation and focus to press on and move the church forward. This week, Joseph shares on how we can build up our compassion quotients such that we can look to the harvest field with eyes of compassion.
*Correction: The bible reference for the second point (Culture Impacts Compassion) should be taken from 1 John 4:19-21 instead of 1 John 1:19-21 as mentioned in the recording. Joseph had made the correction on site after the recording ended.
The Attractiveness of Authenticity
Authenticity is defined as genuine, being real, true to self, or simply, being honest. The question is, how real are we with ourselves? The world’s mantra around us screams out: Image is everything! But as Christians, God is looking for authenticity in our lives. We have a mandate to redeem our relationships, our families, and our nations, with authenticity.
I Don't Know How
In life, there are things that we don't understand how it happens, or why it happens. How do we move on past these things that hinders our relationship with God? How do we reach the harvest in spite of our own difficulties and challenges? Mark 4:26-29 tells us that we don't have to know how, when we know who!
