Illustrated Compassion
An Illustrated Compassion: Learning to Love Like God is a 12-week no-prep curriculum that will walk participants through twelve stories (six from the Hebrew Scriptures and six from the New Testament) that all focus on the theme of compassion.

No matter where you are on the theological or political spectrum, it's clear our world needs more compassion. An Illustrated Compassion turns to scripture and looks for examples of God's compassion throughout the Bible, and also asks what it might look like for all of us to lead more compassionate lives.
