Friday Greetings - June 12

Ordinary Righteousness

"When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them..."

I think compassion is one of those things that seems to be in short supply these days. We have judgmentalism, hatred, division, contempt, and plenty of anger. But compassion seems to have been edged out by all of that.

But in this week's reading from Matthew's Gospel, when Jesus saw the crowds who had come to him for healing and wholeness, his first response was to be moved with compassion.

We will be reflecting on the role of compassion in our journey as disciples, shaping a life of ordinary righteousness this Sunday at 8:30, 9:00, and 11:00. We hope you will join us for worship!
