We continue our series preaching through the book of 2 Samuel as part of our Compassion Sunday, where we look at chapter 9. Here we meet Mephibosheth and see the way David wants to show the kindness of God to him, despite him being from the lineage of King Saul. In the way David treats Mephibosheth we learn of the immeasurable kindness of God in Christ towards us.

Compassion Sunday at Rethink Life was truly unforgettable. At Rethink Life, we believe Generosity is our way, and this Sunday was a beautiful picture of that core value in action. We witnessed families say yes to sponsoring a child, bringing hope, education, and the love of Jesus that can transform a life forever. Hearing Jonathan Almonte share his powerful story as a former sponsored child reminded us that one act of compassion can change generations. We are thanking God for all He has done and all He will do. We want to say a huge thank you to every volunteer who served with such loving hearts and to Compassion International for this amazing opportunity to partner together. #rethinklifechurch #TheWinningFamily #GR8 #Bible #godsword #godisgood #lakenona #stcloud #orlando #2025sermon #onlinechurch #rodneygage #michellegage #Jesus #Church #Hope #HolySpirit #learnhow #pastor #sermon #inspiringmessages #wisdom Thank you RTL Fam for your generosity!

Compassion Sunday - Pastor Steven Gibbs | Stonecreek Church

Message from Pastor Adam Bishop and Jonathan Almonte on April 6, 2025

This Sunday morning, we had the incredible opportunity to hear Compassion International's vision and witness the power of child sponsorship firsthand. A former Compassion child shared his inspiring journey—how God used sponsorship to transform his life from poverty to purpose.Be encouraged as we dive into this powerful testimony of hope, faith, and God's provision.

In this special sermon on Compassion Sunday, Pastor Jon Ewton highlights Woodlands Church's mission to release children from poverty through Compassion International. Drawing from personal experiences, he emphasizes that sponsorship is a meaningful expression of our Christian identity. Guest speakers Don and Elizabeth Smith share their transformative experiences as sponsors, and Owen Gathinga, a Compassion alumnus from Kenya, shares his incredible journey from poverty to becoming an accountant, thanks to sponsorship's support and the love of Christ. This week, we aim to sponsor 250 children—each sponsorship is a step toward changing lives.

Where Dave, Whitney, and Jon dive deep into the challenging themes of 1 Peter 3:1-7, exploring marriage, relationships, and how Bible shapes our lives. The discussion centers on the themes of relationships within the context of marriage and household dynamics, emphasizing the importance of understanding scripture in a healthy way while addressing common misinterpretations. They explore the concept of sanctification through relationships, the call to reflect Christ-like behavior, and the significance of community support.

Dr. Wess Stafford, Former president and CEO of Compassion International and an advocate for children shares his testimony and why he is an advocate for children in poverty.   As the son of missionaries to the Ivory Coast, Wess grew up as one of the village children cared for by a wise and loving African “extended family.” But his young heart was often broken as he watched his African friends die from the cruel ravages of poverty. Wess felt privileged to continue his parents' commitment to the poor through the ministry of Compassion International. Wess joined the staff of Compassion International in 1977 and worked with the ministry, both overseas and at headquarters. He served as President for 20 years. Wess is a veteran, having served four years in the U.S. Army as a linguist in military intelligence. He is also an avid outdoorsman and committed family man, living on a small ranch near Colorado Springs, Colorado, with his wife Donna who was a Compassion sponsor even before she met Wess. They have two daughters, Jenny and Katie — the two children in the world for whom Wess is the greatest advocate of all.
