Jesus and the Poor, Part 1 by Justin Renton and Gloria Nkosi

January 29, 2024

Sermon summary:

Proverbs 21:13 if we ignore the poor, we will be ignored un our time of need. It affects God's response to your prayers.

Make a difference to one person.

Ezekiel 16:49 Don't be arrogant, overfed, and unconcerned

Matthew 4:17–25 The Life and Ministry of Jesus involved Preaching (heraliding in the message of the King), teaching (going deeper into the message) and healing (taking care of the whole person).

Luke 16:19–31 The rich man and Lazarus

Earthly wealth doesn't equal heavenly blessing. He judges us in our response to the poor.

Notice and think of the needy around us.


Gloria Nkosi: There are four pillars we will focus on over the next four weeks:

*ECDs

*Drives — e.g. jumble sales, toys

*Skills development. Jobs or micro-businesses

*Disaster Reliefs—e.g. flooding, fires.


Watch the full service here (the sermon starts at 56 minutes).
