Defining characteristic of Jesus: Compassion

Matthew 9:36

Matthew 15:32

Matthew 15:37

Matthew 20:34

Colossians 3:12

Christmas seems to elevate compassion in us

God demonstrated the most compassionate act by sending Jesus to be born and to eventually die for us

Jesus has been calling us to unleash compassion on His world ever since

600 million children living in extreme poverty
Extreme poverty: Live on less than two dollars a day
22,000 children die from poverty-related issues every day

What if we made a dent in one country?

FIRST: Sponsor 200 children living in extreme poverty

Compassion International: “Releasing children from poverty in Jesus’ name”

SECOND: Plant a church with our strategic partner Stadia

LifePointe’s Christmas compassion expressions will be centered in a local church

THIRD: Go on a short-term mission trip to Ecuador

Compassion is not a feeling
Compassion is action

1 John 3:16

1 John 3:17

The problem with poverty is not God’s provision but human distribution

1 John 3:18

Demonstrate compassion this week

Change a life: Change a community
