Yes to Compassion

Aug 9, 2026    Jason Boyer

This sermon explores the theme of compassion as the defining characteristic of Jesus and a call for His followers to live it out in practical ways. Drawing from Mark chapter 8 and the feeding of the 4,000, Pastor Jason highlights how Jesus was moved in His gut (the Greek word “splagchna”) by the needs of people around Him, including those considered outsiders or enemies. Compassion for Jesus was never just a feeling but always an action that moved from his heart through His hands to meet real needs.
