The Thursday Update

NOVEMBER 21, 2024

Lakeshore Friends—

People all over the world are sick, hurting, and hungry.  Often, it is outside of their control to change their plight and they need someone to help them and care for them if they are to make it. 

During His earthly ministry, Jesus Christ was someone who cared for the sick, the hurting, and the hungry with perfect compassion and authentic concern.  Today, people are looking for this kind of care at really high levels.  Along with that, they're looking for hope, a hope that won’t fade over time.  Wouldn’t it be great if they could find it from Jesus?

They can.

God has called the church to be His tangible hands and feet to care for others the way His Son Jesus did.  If we do, we can help people see God’s love in Jesus and trust Him through the means of our care for their physical, temporal needs.  Over the next three Sundays, we'll look at three accounts of Jesus showing His care for others and learn how we can do the same when others need it.  Most importantly, we can help them find faith and eternal life through it all.

If you want to learn how to care for people even more like Jesus does, these weeks will help.  And if you know people who want to care for people even more than they do, invite them to join you.

Warmly,
Vince
