This Sunday we get to hear an incredible word from Ps Will Hall from Compassion Australia as he speaks this Compassion Sunday

May 31st, 2026 Pastor Chad McDonald This weekend is Compassion Sunday and as we turn our attention to God’s Word, we will look at the greatest compassion story ever told. The story of the Good Samaritan is one of the most well-known Bible stories. Where there is the light of Christianity, there is a knowledge of the Good Samaritan. Sadly, the idea of what a Good Samaritan is, the main point of the passage, is often lost to us. I pray that you will plan to join us this weekend as we study Luke 10 and dive deep on the question, “Who is my neighbor?” You will also have the chance to hear from a special guest and learn more about one of our primary missions partnerships. Make plans today to join us this weekend. In Christ, Pastor Chad

We're launching our brand-new series, "Crushing Chaos," inspired by the insights of Pastor Manny Arango. If your life, your calendar, or your mind has felt like a whirlwind lately, you are not alone. But what if the answer to your chaos isn't a change of scenery? What if the answer isn't peace... but order? Let's talk about "The Infrastructure of Impact," a look at the radical truth hidden in Genesis 1 and Isaiah 27. God isn't intimidated by your mess; He sees it as raw material for a miracle. Learn how to draw the sword of divine order, dust off your daily habits, and build a character strong enough to carry the weight of your purpose. ✨ COMPASSION INTERNATIONAL SPONSORSHIP: Last week was Compassion Sunday! If you missed it or want to step up to be an infrastructure of hope for a child waiting for a sponsor, we want to hear from you. Email Pastor Tom directly at

Happy Mother's Day! Today, we celebrate the women who have nurtured, led, and loved us. But today is also a special "one-off" bridge message as we transition from our "Unstoppable Acts" series. In 2013, Pastor Tom traveled to Kenya—from the dense urban slums of Kiberra to the lush mountains above Lake Victoria. In this message, he shares a "hidden chapter" of his journey and how it fundamentally shifted his understanding of God's heart for justice, generosity, and compassion. In this message, we explore: The Power of "Womb-Love": Understanding the Hebrew word rakhum (Compassion) and how God uses a mother's heart to describe His own. The Speaking Stick: A lesson from the Maasai warriors on dignity and giving a voice to the silenced. Does it work? Looking at the 2013 study on how child sponsorship creates a lifelong "Solid Rock" of hope. RESOURCES MENTIONED:

This Compassion Sunday message teaches that Jesus is moved with deep, gut-level compassion for both crowds and individuals, and that God calls believers to share in His heart for the hurting and oppressed. A former Compassion International child, Dr. Jose Piña, shares how sponsorship, the local church, and Christ's love lifted him from severe poverty to become a doctor and leader, urging the church to sponsor children to help break cycles of poverty.

Andrew is joined by Pastor Scott and Pastor Rodney to recap our recent Compassion Sunday, where we partnered with Compassion International and heard powerful testimonies from two former sponsored children from the Dominican Republic, illustrating how child sponsorship can transform lives across generations. They also discuss biblical compassion and generosity, teaching that true compassion moves beyond feelings into concrete action through tithing, giving, serving, prayer, Scripture, and intentional choices that reflect the heart of Christ toward others.

Pastor Jonah Sage preached from Luke 8:1-15. He said that Jesus moves through unexpected people to unexpected places. Then we heard a presentation from Compassion International. Lector: Noelle Quillo

This week was our annual Compassion Sunday. Pastor Steve Lortz preached out of Luke 10 and taught how the religious leaders had a different interpretation of scripture than Jesus did. What does it mean to have compassion? To whom should we show compassion? Is our faith in what we say or what we do? He challenged us to think about how we interpret scripture - is it more like Jesus or the religious leaders?

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.

When Jesus encountered those in need, instead of turning away he was moved with compassion in a vivid picture of God's heart for people who are hurting or on the margins. What does it mean to follow his example? Hear about our partnership with Compassion and how together we can bring practical help, dignity and hope to children and families in need around the world.

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!
