About this episode

Pastor Steve Lortz discusses the meaning of compassion and how it relates to the interpretation of scripture during Compassion Sunday.

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?
