Compassion for the Harassed and Helpless

Choosing Sides

Text: Matthew 10:34-42. Jesus sends the apostles out, and prepares them for how they will be received.

Restoring the Flock

Jesus' work of restoring the harassed and helpless sheep encounters opposition, because it upsets both families and societies.  Support the show [https://www.canadahelps.org/en/charities/108023813RR0001-st-john-lutheran-church/] Visit us at intheway.org [https://intheway.org] or stjohnspembroke.org [https://stjohnspembroke.org].

Compassion for the Harassed and Helpless

"When [Jesus] saw the crowds,he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd." (Matthew 9:36). The question is, who were harassing them and leaving them helpless? How does the Lord show compassion today?

Morning Clouds and Dew

The Lord is holy, and we are not. What does that look like? Who does the Lord seek: those who think they are holy or those who know that he alone is?  Support the show [https://www.canadahelps.org/en/charities/108023813RR0001-st-john-lutheran-church/] Visit us at intheway.org [https://intheway.org] or stjohnspembroke.org [https://stjohnspembroke.org].

God Pulls Back the Curtain

To know there is a God is not the same thing as knowing the Lord, the uncreated Father, who sends his Son to live among us as a human being, and who draws us to himself by sending his Spirit to live in us. This, the one true God, is who saves and heals us every day by his Word.
