Compassion on Parade
From Scripture, we discover that God is love. It is the essence of who God is. We also learn that His love is bigger than the Universe. Bigger than two septillion stars. It would stand to reason then, that His compassion, the expression of His love, would also be deeper, wider, and fuller than any tongue could tell. In fact, the writers of the New Testament had to coin a new word, just to try and express God’s compassion as seen in…
Gotta Get to Jesus
Jesus had compassion on humanity! Over and over again, scripture records that Jesus was moved with compassion and worked on behalf of humanity because of it. People all over the place picked up on that and had to get themselves for others to Jesus. What about you and me? Are we filled with so much compassion for humanity that we work on behalf of the hurting? Do people see so much Jesus in you and me that they Gotta Get…
Does it Matter How You Share the Gospel?
Does it really matter how a person shares the “Good News”? Can’t I just throw down the message of Christ any old way and that is good enough? Or would it be better to mingle with people as a friend and share the “Good News” with joy, as if I am really changed by it? Join us this Sabbath as we illustrate and discuss this concept. Scripture: Matthew 28:18-20, Acts 1:8, Revelation 14:6, Matthew 9:9-13, Mark 5:18-20, Mark 7:24-8:10, John…
Refuge
God calls each of us to Love God and Love Others. In other words, God wants you and I to be a “Safe” place a “Safe” person for others to experience the Love of God. We can only be safe people or provide a safe place as we allow God’s Spirit to make us into the people he wants us to be.

Showing Compassion to our Neighbors
In today’s world we constantly see people in need. Some are struggling with homelessness, others with abuse and neglect, others with addictions, and still others who don’t fit into our ideal world. Do we take the time to stop to help them in their time of need? Do we provide comfort, shelter and even financial help to them? Do we only stop to help those that look like us, sound like us or have the same blood in our veins?…
Birthday Of The King Concert
Ever heard a mature baritone voice in a 16-year-old who thought he couldn’t sing when he joined the choir two years ago? Listen to the first solo. This exquisite musical experience is conducted by a musician who has not finished college. She attended high school at Fountainview. Her 82-strong choir and orchestra remind me of a school of porpoises, leaping out of the water together, dressed in their black and white concert attire. Every student in Fountainview joins the choir,…
Compassionate David

Compassionate Enemy
Have you ever been betrayed by a friend? Can you remember what it feels like? What if your “friend” seemed to be cool and compassionate in the eyes of the majority? Our Bible story taken from Luke 22, John 12, and John 13 is about two friends named Jesus and Judas. Were they ever really friends? If so, when did they become enemies? One was a compassionate enemy of evil. The other was a compassionate enemy of a friend. Betrayal…
