One reason why the book of James is so challenging and practical is that it lays out a series of tests that are designed to help us understand what authentic Christianity looks like in action, so that we may then examine our own lives and faith to see how we measure up. And according to James, one of the things that a living, genuine faith ought to produce within us is Christlike compassion—the way we think about, speak about, and treat the poor and the vulnerable.

This Sunday, our mission partner Eric Prager (Executive Director of Baja Christian Ministries) will be the guest speaker for our annual “Compassion Sunday”. Join us as we consider this challenge from James, and be reminded that loving, caring for, and meeting the practical needs of the vulnerable and hurting all around us is the job of every single believer—as fundamental to our Christian living as evangelism, discipleship, and worship.
