Mark 5
1) They came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.
2) When he had come out of the boat, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,
3) who had his dwelling in the tombs. Nobody could bind him any more, not even with chains,
4) because he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been torn apart by him, and the fetters broken in pieces. Nobody had the strength to tame him.
5) Always, night and day, in the tombs and in the mountains, he was crying out, and cutting himself with stones.
6) When he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and bowed down to him,
7) and crying out with a loud voice, he said, "What have I to do with you, Jesus, you Son of the Most High God? I adjure you by God, don‘t torment me."
8) For he said to him, "Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!"
9) He asked him, "What is your name?" He said to him, "My name is Legion, for we are many."
10) He begged him much that he would not send them away out of the country.
11) Now there was there on the mountainside a great herd of pigs feeding.
12) All the demons begged him, saying, "Send us into the pigs, that we may enter into them."
13) At once Jesus gave them permission. The unclean spirits came out, and entered into the pigs. The herd of about two thousand rushed down the steep bank into the sea, and they were drowned in the sea.
14) Those who fed them fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. The people came to see what it was that had happened.
15) They came to Jesus, and saw him who was possessed by demons sitting, clothed and in his right mind, even him who had the legion; and they were afraid.
16) Those who saw it declared to them how it happened to him who was possessed by demons, and about the pigs.
17) They began to beg him to depart from their borders.
18) As he was entering into the boat, he who had been possessed by demons begged him that he might be with him.
19) He didn‘t allow him, but said to him, "Go to your house, to your friends, and tell them how the Lord has done great things for you, and how he had mercy on you."
20) He went his way, and began to proclaim in Decapolis how Jesus had done great things for him, and everyone marveled.
21) When Jesus had crossed back over in the boat to the other side, a great multitude was gathered to him; and he was by the sea.
22) Behold, one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name, came; and seeing him, he fell at his feet,
23) and begged him much, saying, "My little daughter is at the point of death. Please come and lay your hands on her, that she may be made healthy, and live."
24) He went with him, and a great multitude followed him, and they pressed upon him on all sides.
25) A certain woman, who had an issue of blood for twelve years,
26) and had suffered many things by many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better, but rather grew worse,
27) having heard the things concerning Jesus, came up behind him in the crowd, and touched his clothes.
28) For she said, "If I just touch his clothes, I will be made well."
29) Immediately the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of her plague.
30) Immediately Jesus, perceiving in himself that the power had gone forth from him, turned around in the crowd, and asked, "Who touched my clothes?"
31) His disciples said to him, "You see the multitude pressing against you, and you say, ‘Who touched me?‘"
32) He looked around to see her who had done this thing.
33) But the woman, fearing and trembling, knowing what had been done to her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.
34) He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be cured of your disease."
35) While he was still speaking, they came from the synagogue ruler‘s house saying, "Your daughter is dead. Why bother the Teacher any more?"
36) But Jesus, not heeding the word spoken, immediately said to the ruler of the synagogue, "Don‘t be afraid, only believe."
37) He allowed no one to follow him, except Peter, James, and John, the brother of James.
38) He came to the synagogue ruler‘s house, and he saw an uproar, weeping, and great wailing.
39) When he had entered in, he said to them, "Why do you make an uproar and weep? The child is not dead, but is asleep."
40) They laughed him to scorn. But he, having put them all out, took the father of the child and her mother and those who were with him, and went in where the child was lying.
41) Taking the child by the hand, he said to her, "Talitha cumi;" which means, being interpreted, "Young lady, I tell you, get up."
42) Immediately the young lady rose up, and walked, for she was twelve years old. They were amazed with great amazement.
43) He charged them much that no one should know this. He commanded that something should be given to her to eat.
Matthew 9:35-38
35) Jesus went about all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness among the people.
36) But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, as sheep without a shepherd.
37) Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest indeed is plentiful, but the laborers are few.
38) Pray therefore that the Lord of the harvest will send forth laborers into his harvest."
Ephesians 4:32
32) Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you.
Colossians 3:12
12) Put on therefore, as God‘s elect, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, humility, and perseverance;
1 Peter 3:8

Him, put on my favorite of five and a display that you start out by asking a few questions that we need to have Elizabeth R- intro. Honestly when I sounds so the talking and thinking how the liar. How do we view people within the week. I don't assess this situation and determine if they brought problems on themselves. For example, while there are more responsible than any human being and or if they weren't simply your focus on your situation. Maybe they received on the minimize and sometimes they get focus on maybe if someone is worthy of our time, our supporters in our prayers because I noticed this in transfer really pray and pray for somebody think and change an active member, an estimate. Pray for me and eventually prayers were answered. So we give up on people 's listings. If you think about this morning and now I just think he has afterward Thursday in the songs, and everything I noticed that a lot of them had to do with God, grace and his compassion so exists. Many feel that today there is a need for compassion in our society, and I'm not saying that we need to be compliant people that are in the wrong, but we need to understand your heart. Okay, there is a need for compassion and compassion simply means loving sympathy or empathy. I like to define it, is meeting people where the rest so that God can intervene and make the changes that they need as they think it's our responsibility to change people him. I is not our responsibility and authority to show compassion Michelle Christ to them, and even in a direction that God our we don't change people watching them. So, in effect, allow the Holy Spirit work through our to make that change people instead of trying to be in charge of changing them because you know what I doesn't work in our same timetable. Other people may think I'm allowed to come around you and them is what I look this morning and Mark chapter five. How Jesus has compassion on people so Mark chapter five earnings of everything is as if they went across the lake in the region and their assessment is not often that a man with an evil spirit came the chance to meet him. This man lives in exams no one can find him anymore, not even with the chain, creating early and often maintain hand and foot, but for exchange important growth. The irons on his feet almost done enough to subdue him. My day among the fans in the hills would cry out for himself a sense when he saw Jesus from a distance. He ran and fell on his knees in front of me shouted at the top of his voice. What do you want with me, Jesus, son of the most high God recognize he will torture me for Jesus and said to him, come on in this manual spirit and Jesus asked him what is your name is my native leaves in your life for we are many. Even Jesus again and again to send him out of the area and end up for Jesus on the larger pigs overfeeding the demons begged Jesus, and if among the things and allow us to get into them. They give information and evil spirit in him and heard about two thousand in number, Russian dynasty, banking into the lake, where they drowned their sending things ran off reported this to sound the countryside with people and see what happened when they came to Jesus, they saw him him easily be sitting there anything I and they were afraid this is seen as the people when it happened to the demon possessed and employed about things as well, the people again simply refuses to leave the region as Jesus is getting into the van the man advantage& S think you get with him. And Jesus did not let him and said go home to your family and tell them how much the Lord has done for you and Mercy on you. So the man went away and began to tell the details of the campus, Jesus had done for him and all the people were amazed the first instance with the amendment was tortured and asked Jesus for his help in creating this one thousand twenty one and winning. What are you doing here that Jesus Albany, he had compassion he had mercy on him and set him free, not only in the physical sense but also spiritually excessive free USM working for many years. The next businessman and look at how Jesus heals a woman with their with the bleeding and also I raise a child. Lisbon has been found to him. I will start the# one when Jesus had in Houston. Her mother, the other side of the lake large crowd gathered around, he was violently and then my synagogue rulers name terrorists came to sing Jesus. He famously pleaded earnestly recommend little girl, my little daughter 's time, please come up with your hands on her, since you'll be humanly so Jesus went with him, a large crowd followed impressed around him. In woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years she has suffered a great deal on Medicare. Many doctors and has been all she had yet instead of getting better. She grew worse when she heard about him or her because she thought behind this class is close, I will be known immediately, leaving some busy filming her body that she was freed from her suffering at once Jesus realized that power had gone from him. He turned around and account message close to see the people from agencies such as reading and you can ask contact me. But Jesus kept looking around to see who invented in the woman knowing what had happened to famous delicacy family and fear and told him the whole truth is that her daughter, your faith is making his field you want peace and be free from suffering and what Jesus was was still speaking. Some may think the healthcare synagogue ruler in daughter 's death. They said why bother the teacher anymore. They knowingly failed, said Jesus on the synagogue ruler don't be afraid desperately in all and anyone following except Peter, James and John the brother of James, when it came to listen in on an unrelated uses information for the people crying, waiting women on financing for them. Why all this commotion and women. The child is not David asleep. That's it for them, allowing for the child's father and mother disciples were within them. When they were in account by visa for money and has been ever to leave and come little girl. I think you get immediately the girl stood up and walked around at this, they were completely astonished. He gave his daughter is not letting me know about this until of them to give her something to eat. So here we see these three examples are we seeing the man who has everything in my possession. He healed the woman's physical issue any raises a young girl from the dead and seizes half capacity, spiritually as well because if people didn't believe they didn't know exactly what would happen. They had nice hair- but they had to believe they even have compassion on the head him only maintain everything to be unresolved of their acting out even without Garris was from the synagogue in lives of view and I'm sure that's a lot for him to even a premise, Jesus, the significant will become obvious compassion because this is my daughter because on a follower of him right now. You now and yet he did he not only the physical need and let their spiritual leaders. Well, in Matthew nine thirty six. This is where the story some may balk a Methodist and a little bit and he said this when you're going women is when he saw the crown had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, she is not a sacrament and a half. It was very interesting harassed and helpless, many times have you felt helpless or even harassed how many times have you felt like giving up for valuing and how do you feel that same grace and compassion of Christ on you knowing that he had a feeling of Augustine that he holds you, so this is where we come into if we go on here recently. He continues in the harvest is over. The workers are few lower the harvest, therefore, to send out workers to harvest. This is what I'm getting at is many times when the physical need for spiritual need is awesome. So these harassing helpless people are the same as us today in our society today. If so many people that are harassed so many people that are helpless. They need feel that such a price we live in a world that yes, as Christians, we need to look out for one another as well. Running into that a little bit more because we need to know how to treat one another, have compassion on one another, so that we can reach other people, so him a you are not looking outside appearances than with anything new message uses the same eighty note that they had physical issues that Nelson is the heart and insight. They had a deeper spiritual needs as well. So Ephesians four thirty two, says, and it's not simply talking to believers, be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as Christ gave you this long while ago. I thought about it. Sometimes it is through. You may agree or not, it seems that as though at times Christians are first killed and wounded again, and sometimes we see a brother or sister in trouble in a follower. They never said in the net hand help them. You would rather gossip and rather turn on somebody, instead of help so and it seems as that's what happens so we rather fling talk about them and instead of reaching out, throwing him a lifeline and having compassion for them, helping them come back to the right place and the relationship. So how can we quit being critical is serving as we do have an answer for that is out of finance and Colossians three A+ three A very necessary verse twelve. Therefore, as God 's chosen people, holy and dearly love close yourselves with compassion, kindness, ability gentleness and patience, brothers a lot going on. Aaron and keyboard. Here's closed yourself how many of you believe your house him on anything. I think anybody would know because why because everybody when the they would seem my physical laws. They would say that, then yeah okay. And of course, status and is open. I can't organize and remember that we put on. We close ourselves not to cover our flaws, but to overcome and understand others would look at the mirror in the mirror and be honest with ourselves and what we see we see our flaws and we know who we are, so we notably half-lives. We have to be compassionate when we see other people 's lives instead of judging them for saying let's bomb down wiring out to help to be compassionate as well simply don't clothe ourselves with these additives actually understand how others and their needs and is near the biggest lesson compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience as people may have long offering patients. Every one of us am sure, gentleness, because I wore second general kind manner is a lot harder resumes as well. You should be doing this you should be doing that on a way to bring somebody back there. Placing is being, and also humility. Be humble. Remember we came from. Remember our own faults, and also in the kindnesses that comes back to the first theater create this last fisherman gets easier as finally all of you live in harmony with one another. Be sympathetic love as brothers, be compassionate and humble dinner so great for eczema, but there's obviously sure to review this him him. I mean elements that fit. Characterizing any group of believers. One harmony pursuing a single to sympathy being responsive to others. These frame of seeing and treating each other as brothers and sisters. For compassion being affectionately sensitive and caring and five humility being willing to encourage one another and rejoice in each other 's successes. These five qualities go a long way toward helping believers are not effectively and also Peter develop the qualities of an fascinating and many the hard way. Remember Peter and happy life. You think about him in his early days, the pricier. These attitudes and not come naturally to his impulsive strong-willed personality. You can find examples of this and more. Kathy thirty one and thirty three zero three yards on thirteen sixty nine, but the Holy Spirit changed Peter molding his strong personality to God 's use teaching him tenderness and humility, even the strongest will first come, have compassion if we just let the Holy Spirit guide us into the waiting. We need to go so we understand ourselves and we understand one another and effectively as a congregation as a group of believers show compassion for one another. People see that we can be compassionate to a lost and dying world that needs to be shown compassion and love today. So, sometimes extending a hand, a change of heart. Sometimes never. We help somebody in there darkest hour. They remember that when something is only here to something happens in the heart would have to remember those things to be an example of crisis being example of compassion and grace because he him and him and him and him and their heavenly father and thank you crazy for your goodness for the compassion and you have on us learn for your kindness. We thank you that you help us to grow and be compassionate and loving to others to show a lost and dying world. The way to the heart of Christ. Not only can change them so you can change them to be. You want them to be ignored by decreasing everyone here at creating a blessed day and a half in Jesus name we prayHim, put on my favorite of five and a display that you start out by asking a few questions that we need to have Elizabeth R- intro. Honestly when I sounds so the talking and thinking how the liar. How do we view people within the week. I don't assess this situation and determine if they brought problems on themselves.
