South Side Speaks

This Thursday and Friday, Oct. 1-2, South Side Speaks is going to live out some Scripture. We’re taking God seriously and helping His dreams come true.

What is your reaction when you see a homeless person? Pity? Annoyance? Indifference? Or maybe is it one of compassion, a desire to do something to help our fellow brother or sister? Jesus made it quite clear in Scripture that everyone is our neighbor, and this week South Side Speaks is springing into action.

Thursday is very important, because we will be going over everything in detail that will occur Friday. Anything you want to donate- blankets, sleeping bags, winter clothes you know you won’t wear- bring it all Thursday.

Friday we will go out in teams to where the homeless community lives. We will be giving them more than just a shirt or shoes, we’ll give them hope. Life. Compassion. Most importantly, we will give them Jesus. We’ll show He is still the God of the poor. No matter what we look like, where we live- He died for us all. We are all the same in His eyes.

Here is some Scripture if you’d like to dig into what God thinks about those who have no home.   Leviticus 25:35         Isaiah 61         Luke 12,14,18        Acts 9,10,24

And look at your own life. We were all poor till Jesus came into our lives. Everything we have physically is from Him. Everything.

If you know anyone who would like to make a difference, this is the place. Bring them Thursday and Friday. I promise they will walk away more blessed than they can imagine. God is just like that.
