The Gospel of Matthew: Shown Compassion to Show Compassion

Summary

The sermon's main theme is that because God's compassion shown through Jesus is profound, Christians are called to be a people of compassion, particularly by ministering to the suffering and lost. Key references include Jesus' miracles in the Gospel of Matthew and the disciples being sent out two by two. The practical takeaway is that compassion requires community, both with God and with others, and this community is the conduit through which God's love is extended to those in need.
