Compassion Immersion 2024 - Making Room - Week 1 - 02.11.2024
Sermon Description:
Every year, we take some time as a church to slow down and celebrate what God has been doing through our mission partners, both locally and globally. This work would literally be impossible if people in WestGate Church didn’t sacrificially give of their time, talent, and treasure. And yet…there’s still an issue. Many people who are followers of Jesus really want to make a difference in the world by serving and caring for others, but the hustle and bustle of life here in the Bay Area makes it feel impossible. So how can followers of Jesus right here in the Silicon Valley, embody the essence of the gospel, make room for God, find time to serve others, care for others, and share the love of God through actions? The answer is found in a story in the Old Testament, about a man named Isaiah who has an exceptional encounter with God. And as we see how this encounter changed him, we see we’re invited in the same way.
