Ministries of Mercy

Why would anyone risk their safety, change their schedule, weaken their finances, and get dirty to help a person of another race and social class?

And why does Jesus tell us: "Go and do the same"?

The good Samaritan did not ignore the beaten man on the road to Jericho. Just like this man, we realize that there are people in need around us: our widowed neighbor, the close family who cannot afford to pay for her medical exams, the homeless person who sleeps outside the church. God calls us to help them in their need: give them shelter, provide them with support, provide them with medical care or simply offer them our friendship.

Timothy Keller shows that caring for these people is the responsibility of every believer, and that such care is as fundamental to the Christian life as evangelism, discipleship, and worship. But Keller does not stop at duty; shows us how we can carry out this vital ministry as individuals, families and churches.

Explore mercy ministries by addressing difficult topics such as:

• Balance the cost of the need with the limits of time and resources
• Giving physical help versus teaching responsibility
• Meeting the internal needs of the church versus meeting the external needs
