Compassion Sunday

The world often makes compassion optional. Meanwhile, the gospel reminds us it is essential. On Compassion Sunday, Pastor Paul turned to 1 John 3:16–18 to show that real love is not just spoken, it is demonstrated. Because Jesus laid down His life for us, we are called to live with that same selfless love, actively caring for those in need. Through a powerful testimony from Jonathan Almonte, a Compassion International sponsor child whose life was transformed, we see how one act of obedience can impact both a life and an eternity. This message challenges us to move beyond intention into action, reminding us that loving like Jesus means stepping in, giving generously, and trusting God to use our obedience to change lives.
