Will You Comment???

HEY YOU...

SO HERE IT IS:®  Friday Night Brian taught about Luke 6:11-17.  We looked at the compassion of Jesus and how He was willing to touch others considered “unclean”.  We looked at what Jesus does out of His compassion and love for people.

 

            Question:  How has Jesus’ compassion impacted your life and are there things you can do differently to share Jesus love and compassion with others?  Please comment.
