I really enjoyed being part of Northern Beaches Men’s Conference on Tuesday night. I spoke on Isaiah 58 a talk entitled “Holy Eyes”. It was basically about seeing the world the way that God sees the world and responding with comfort, care and compassion. The talk wasn’t as tight as I’d like, but from conversations people found it helpful nonetheless. Intro vid:
HOLY EYES – NBMC – Dave Miers MP3
We also heard from MISFIT AID. Click here to learn about their great work.
Here is the outline from my sermon:
Kony + Slacktivism
1) Fasting that displeases God (Isaiah 58:1-5)
2) Fasting that pleases God (Isaiah 58:6-12)
3) The call for a changed heart, eyes & life (Isaiah 58:13-14)
5 things to know in order to cultivate an attitude of care, comfort & compassion:
i) know what’s going on
ii) know the dangers of wealth
iii) know that it’s more than money
iv) know who you are ignoring
v) know the good news of Jesus
Hello! I recently found this post about your sermon on Isaiah 58 and I love it! Right away I noticed similarities between your message and what we’re doing here at 58: (www.live58.org). Live58 is a ministry dedicated to calling the church to live out the true fast of Isaiah 58 to end extreme poverty by 2035. It seems like the mission of our organization is something that is close to your heart, as you’ve written about here. I’d love for you to check out this video we call “Not Always” (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7uZV90fsoCY) to learn more about what we’re all about. We’d love to partner with you, as you encourage your audience. I’d be happy to talk to you more about opportunities to get involved with Live58, if you’re interested. Feel free to email me at HannaB@live58.org.
Thanks so much,
Hanna
