Helping Without Hurting

In this powerful message, we're challenged to examine our approach to social justice from a Christian perspective. The sermon delves into 1 Timothy 5, revealing God's heart for the vulnerable, especially widows. We're reminded that throughout Scripture, God consistently calls His people to care for those at risk - immigrants, orphans, and widows. This teaching urges us to reflect on how we can help others in ways that truly make a difference. It's not just about giving handouts, but about restoring dignity, providing opportunities, and addressing systemic issues. The message beautifully intertwines the biblical mandate with practical application, encouraging us to look around our communities and ask, 'Who is really in need?' and 'What's the best way to help?' As followers of Christ, we're called to embody His love through tangible actions, balancing wisdom with compassion. This sermon challenges us to move beyond our comfort zones and actively seek ways to uplift those around us, reminding us that in serving others, we serve Christ Himself.
