Compassion

This coming Sunday, Nov. 2, we will continue the LtQ2.0 series with the section on compassion, asking, "Is this not the heart of Jesus' message?" and "What is more central to the life of faith than striving to be more compassionate?"

In this chapter, contributor Ron Buford says, "Compassion was at the center of Jesus' ministry and life. So often in the gospels you get the sense that Jesus looked into people's eyes, into their hearts, and he saw something. He saw who they were. He saw what they needed. And no matter what law he had to break, if he had to break a law in order to make that person whole or to make their lives better, Jesus did it." 

Join us! Well be happy to see you!

A kingdom without walls LtQ2.0 Ch 15

We continue the Living the Questions 2.0 series with chapter 15: 'A Kingdom Without Walls."
The website at St John's in Raleigh posted about this chapter, saying:
 "Imagine a place where mercy resides, love forms each heart, compassion is lived out with grit and determination. A place where lavish signs mark each path, barrier free. Imagine a place where skin tones are celebrated like the hues of tulips in springtime. … Imagine a place where people no longer kept watch through the front window to determine whether the welcome mat would remain on the porch. Such is the work - the journey - the destination - in the kin-dom of God.” Join us!
