Poverty and Prosperity (February 28)

Hope Lives

Compassion changes everything: how you view your world...yourself...even Jesus. While many feel despair at the state of the world we can find hope in Jesus. This two week exploration of compassion is aimed at both head and heart, inspiring a new way to interact with the world.

February 28: Poverty and Prosperity

We live in a world in which unprecedented prosperity exists alongside desperate poverty. The oppressed and poor are at the center of the heart of God and God is mobilizing his church to bring hope in a world of despair.
