37-Matthew 15;21-39 "Jesus Compassion" by BerkeleyUBF
Today we will hear Pauls passion for the church to love one another. Paul cares about the individual- but he believes that the transformation of Jesus in our life should lead to a community of love for one another. His desire of the church is that we live out 7 virtues that display the love of Jesus: Compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience, forgiveness and love.

"No One is Too Far for the Messiah" - Come and See Series Through the remarkable encounter between Jesus and the Samaritan woman at Jacob's well, we discover six transformative characteristics of Jesus that shape our understanding of His mission and heart: °Jesus STEPS into places others avoid to reach those who need Him ° He FULLY feels what we feel and understands our struggles ° He purposefully spends time with the LOST to share His love ° He often SAVES people rejected by others ° He reaches into the DEPTHS of our lives to heal us from the inside out ° He INVITES us into a life of joy, purpose, and kingdom impact Key Scripture: John 4:1-39 (https://www.bible.com/bible/111/JHN.4.NIV) This message challenges our perception of Jesus and reminds us that what we truly believe about Him shapes every part of who we are. Through this divine encounter, witness how Jesus crosses cultural, social, and religious barriers to reach those society has rejected. See how one conversation transformed not just a woman's life, but an entire community.

Let's start this new year off with a look at what God might want to do in our lives through this prodigal journey. If you have been listening to this podcast for very long, you have heard me say that God is just as committed to working in us as He is in our prodigals. He cares about our loved ones, but He also cares about us.A primary purpose He has is to make us more and more like Jesus. I am grateful that God has given us a clear picture of what He is working toward—what we will be like as we become more like Jesus. And Jesus lived out compassion always.

From articles written by B B Warfield that were compiled into a book collection called The Person and Work of Christ.
Ever wondered how to honor your past without letting shame dictate your journeyImagine being able to replace shame with a more empowering word, acknowledging its role in your life, and recognizing that the story has changed. We've crafted an episode that brings light to this transformative process.Drawing inspiration from biblical stories such as Jesus and the new wine and the old wineskin, the Prodigal Son, Martha and Mary, as well as insights from Aundi Kolber 's "Try Softer", we reflect on how to practice compassion and safety in our journey towards sexual wholeness. Step onto the path of self-discovery as we delve into the power of tapping and speaking truths over ourselves to integrate our belovedness further.Scripture, like Psalm 23, serves as our guide in this transformational exercise. We unwrap the profound significance of Jesus' death and how it continues to manifest in our bodies.The conversation culminates with a heartfelt prayer, seeking restoration and regeneration of thoughts with more love, less criticism, and more grace. This episode is more than just chatter; it's a toolkit for honoring your journey from where you've been to where you're going.So, tune in and give your past its rightful place - a stepping stone to a brighter future.Watch Sacred by Design on YouTube!Want Andrea to talk about a specific topic?

Focal passage: John 11:1-44
Paul, Jon and Liz continue the conversation about Jesus & Compassion and take another look at the problem of legalism they discussed in the last episode. "There's no better place to explore the law than the Sermon on the Mount. One way to look at it is to see how the law functions as a frame around grace. And if you don't have that frame, then grace spins off like a dust devil, it has no content to it." "Much of Jesus' attack on legalism is an attack on how legalism weakens love. That kind of legalism is actually virtue signaling, not love. It's trying to get you in union with culture, not flowing from union with Christ." “When Paul says ‘imitate me as I imitate Christ,' I think sometimes we get stuck unnecessarily in the idea that if I'm going to imitate Jesus it's this kind of floaty, high, holy life. Not only can I not do that, I don't even know what that is. But if you look at the context of that whole section, it really is ‘imitate Jesus as he loves and he crosses barriers.' ”
Jesus started off his ministry with a awesome display of power over the demonic world. Luke now captures Jesus and his compassion for those who are not only sick with sin, but with the falleness diseases of mankind. Jesus is the savior who suffers with us and has compassion for us! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/walk-in-truth-ministries/support
We continue our discussion of Jesus & Compassion and explore how legalism affects our relationships. "Legalism is a fascinating thing to study, particularly in our modern world where you've got competing worldviews that have their own different legalisms. It seems like everyone is reacting to someone else's legalism! It's a great place to dive in and hear from Jesus." "What the law lacks is power, and that's why the Spirit of Jesus is so central. The only way then that I can obey the law – especially in the way Jesus and the Apostle Paul have raised the standards of the law – is by the spirit." "Love is so delicate. It's so difficult to balance all the angles, the timing -- how to say something and when to say it and who to say it to and how to break through my own fears. Love is so complex that I need Jesus inside of me. ‘Apart from me, you can do nothing.' "
We continue our series on Jesus & Compassion by looking at two stories that highlight how we get legalistic in relationships — starting with Mary & Martha. "Martha is not saying ‘Ok, my doing this job frees Mary to go to Bible study. That's wonderful!' At this moment in the story, Martha loves respect and efficiency, and she's not getting either. This leads to a demanding spirit, the harshness that comes out above the surface. What feeds that demanding spirit is a disordered love. And Jesus, when he responds to her, he goes after her disordered love." "Usually when we hear the word legalism, we think of legal structures or rules that are rigid, but legalism has a way of inhabiting our relationships." "Relational legalism is hard to see because there's almost always a good principle involved. But when that good principle gets married to, for want of a better term, a soft idolatry of efficiency or respect or you eating well or the perfect meal or any of those things, then that demanding spirit comes out. It's just lovely to see Jesus go right after Mary's heart. To paraphrase Jonathan Edwards, my affections shape what I want. Ultimately repentance needs to kind go all the way down to where our loves are out of order."

[Matthew 9:35-38] Jesus' compassion meets us, transforms us and sends us. Speaker: Bryce Langley
The Bible study given at Calvary Chapel Corvallis on Sunday, February 6, 2022.
We're beginning a new series that will look at Jesus as a person, and along the way, we're picking up on some themes that go back to our earliest episodes. This week, we explain a bit about the back story of this series and talk about what we see in Jesus in the story of the widow of Nain in Luke 7. "It was in reading this story my thinking and awareness of Jesus as a person first began to open up. As I was reading this, a little light went off and I thought, 'Now, wait a minute. In the prodigal son, doesn't something similar happen when Jesus describes how the father greets the prodigal son? And where the father looks and sees the son on the horizon, feels compassion and then acts?' And then I thought, 'Wait a minute, isn't that also in the good Samaritan too?' " "Looking is not insignificant – in the Hebrew mind, all action begins with looking." "This attentiveness to a person that we see in Jesus leads to a tenderness with people. Jesus is not a miracle machine. He's not a justification by faith robot. He's showing us how to be human." Watch this video to hear more about how Paul learned to love by watching Jesus. If you're interested in going deeper into the material we discussed today, look at lesson one of Unit 1, The Person of Jesus: Compassion. Learn more at seeJesus.net/PersonOfJesus.
If we miss compassion as Jesus followers then we miss the point of Jesus. Check out this episode on what it means to be a person of compassion after the heart of Jesus.
They came to the other side of the sea, to the country of the Gerasenes. And when Jesus had stepped out of the boat, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit (Mark 5:1-2). For likeminded podcasts, visit www.mediagratiae.org/podcasts.
Charlie reminds us that Jesus wept, and pointed us to a God who is compassionate and who values connection and relationship.
Understanding the depth of Jesus compassion for us, enables us to know who we are in Him, changes how we live and affects those around us
Jesus Compassion Is for Those Who Are Humble and Faithful; Pray that God Guides Us from Being Judgmental, Self-Righteous, and Self-Centered MESSAGE SUMMARY: Luke 7:36-50 describes the compassion of God revealed to those who come to Him in humility and faith. In unpacking Luke's Gospel reference, Luke is relating a dinner party taking place in the home of a Pharisee. The Pharisees' thought that their attempts at righteousness would earn them more favor with God, but their focus was outward not inward and in their hearts. The Pharisees were always in Jesus' face attacking Jesus and trying to dismiss His teachings. In the Scripture references from Luke and Matthew below, Jesus gave strong words of description and condemnation regarding the Pharisees' hearts and behaviors. However, there were many Pharisees that were Godly and spiritual men. We need to be careful that we do not become twenty-first century Pharisees identified by Jesus in Luke 7. Like the Pharisees, many of us know the Word of God; but we need to be careful that we do not become judgmental and self-surviving, thereby missing the fresh wind of the Holy Spirit and forgetting to apply the love and Justice of God in our lives and relationships. As Jesus tells us in Luke 39-43: “Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he said to himself, ‘If this man were a prophet, he would have known who and what sort of woman this is who is touching him, for she is a sinner. ‘And Jesus answering said to him, ‘Simon, I have something to say to you.' And he answered, ‘Say it, Teacher.' ‘A certain moneylender had two debtors. One owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty. When they could not pay, he cancelled the debt of both. Now which of them will love him more?' Simon answered, ‘The one, I suppose, for whom he cancelled the larger debt.' And he {Jesus} said to him, ‘You have judged rightly.'”. Also, at this dinner party, in Luke 7, given by a Pharisee, Jesus tells us of a sinful woman who comes into the party. The woman comes up behind Jesus and weeps with such intensity that her tears fall on Jesus' feet. The woman, after her earlier conversion, is probably overcome with the conviction of her sinful life and remorse, thereby becoming a servant to her Lord. In these actions of conviction and love toward Jesus, Jesus explains, to Simon the Pharisee in Luke 7:47, that: “Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven—for she loved much. But he who is forgiven little, loves little.”. Simon, the Pharisee, represents many modern day “church people”. We can get caught up in our personal righteousness. We get used to the presence of God and His peace in our lives, but then we encounter a new follower of Jesus. They, before their conversion, were living in the ways of the world without God's peace. Now, these new believers are so excited with their new life; and their outward manifestation of their conversion may not “fit” with our personal Christian behavioral norms. Sadly, too many modern Christians judge and condemn these new believers rather than loving, encouraging, and embracing these new believers. After all, none of us deserve the forgiveness of God: “I am who I am by the Grace of God through Jesus. “. God wants to have a heart-to-heart talk with us. Therefore, if there is anything in our lives blocking this talk with God, we must remove it – we need to open ourselves to what God will do for us if we will just let go of our life impediments. We must pray for God's guidance that He keeps us from becoming judgmental, self-righteous, self-centered Christians like the Pharisees in Luke 7. TODAY'S PRAYER: Keeping the Sabbath, Lord, will require a lot of changes in the way I am living life. Teach me, Lord, how to take the next step with this in a way that fits my unique personality and situation. Help me to trust you with all that will remain unfinished and to enjoy my humble place in your very large world. In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter.
