Scripture & Discussion
Sermon Title: “Compassion Sunday”

Key Scriptures: Matthew 9:35-36, Matthew 9:37-38
Brief Recap: God is a God of Compassion. Real love doesn’t make us want to get something from people but to get something TO people. We as a church are called to go to the nations - we must all consider THE world outside of our own world.

Key Points:

1. COMPassion is NOT Pity
   1. Operating in pity makes us pitiful, operating in compassion makes us powerful
2. COMPassion Produces Purpose
   1. Notice what you’re noticing
3. The Purpose of COMPassion Produces Fruitfulness
   1. Seed —> Time —> Harvest

Discussion
You don’t need to hit every question—follow the room.

1. What stood out to you from this week’s message and panel discussion? (this question is to help them navigate what the Lord highlighted to them)
2. COMPassion involves action - what is MY responsibility in this? How does God want to use ME to reach His world?
3. Compassion produces purpose - what makes me glad, sad and mad? What stirs my heart?
4. What’s my next step?

Prayer Time

• Prayer request if time allows. If not, you can close in prayer.
