Summary

This Sunday, we were joined by Compassion International, and Pastor Jon preached a special sermon on Biblical justice. When we love someone, we want to delight them, and this is what delights God: steadfast love, righteousness, and justice (Jeremiah 9:23-24). Compassion alum, Keewani Cook, was also able to share her powerful testimony about her own impoverished childhood, recieving sponsorship through Compassion, and learning that poverty was not her destiny. God provided a way for Keewani to go to school and start a career, and she ultimately learned—through another's compassion—that nothing is impossible for the Lord. Through stories like Keewani's, we see that what we do for the least of these, we do for Jesus.

If you would like to join Compassion International on mission through the sponsorship of a child we invite you to head over to compassion.com/churchofthecity to see children still in need of sponsors.

0:00.0	Gidey folks, Pastor John Tyson here.
0:08.5	Hope you're doing well.

0:15.2	Sunday.
0:16.0	And we invited people in our community to partner and build friendships with children in some of the

0:35.8	I'm super grateful for the generosity of our church.
0:38.9	We were able to sponsor on that day, 541 kids, which is huge. And I just thought there could be
0:45.3	some folks listening along to our podcast who want to jump in with our church family and participate
0:50.2	here. So if God moves your heart after listening to this podcast and you want to
0:56.7	sponsor a kid, you can go to compassion.com slash church of the city and you can be a part of

1:09.1	drawing near to your heart and I hope this podcast
1:11.9	blesses you. Peace.
1:17.9	Compassion Sunday. I think the church has done that before and aren't we in a series on prayer
1:24.5	or something? This feels a little weird. Well, let me just give you some context here.
1:30.8	I have a sort of a covenant with God based on a previous experience that if a move of God ever
1:39.7	breaks out in Western culture, I will preach, pray, stay on the theme of prayer, awakening, and revival
1:45.1	as long as that window is open. And we started our year in January with a series called God
1:51.4	comes where he's wanted, and we haven't really gotten off that theme. We've coded different
