The next to last of these is “The Poor and Hungry” and looks at how our charity and generosity is an act of faith. Why should we help others? How do we help those in need? How do we act out our faith to ensure it isn’t empty? Can we make it a regular part of our lives? As we explore how we interact with God, we grow in faith and love.
Our scripture reading for today comes from Isaiah 25:1-5, James 2:14-17, Matthew 25:31-46.
The second message in Those in Need is “The Poor.” What does the Bible have to say about the poor? How should we give? Do we always live up to expectations? How can we change our views? Let us serve God by helping those in need.
The scripture readings come from Leviticus 25:35-43, 1 John 3:16-24, and Luke 3:7-14.
