Scraps From Our Table
Matthew 15:21-28
Katie Kinnison Preaching
|
|
What is your circle of compassion? How far outside your “family”, your comfort zone, are you willing to move to meet the needs of another?
This is the question before us – a question which the One we follow, Jesus himself, wrestled.
As we prepare for Sunday’s Gathering, I invite you to ask yourself about the limits and boundaries of your care for the other. Search out the hard places in your heart, the people your gut clenches against, the groups your mind is quick to dismiss or condemn.
This is what I’m doing as I sit here, reading and re-reading the scripture, doing my best to listen to the wisdom in the murmurings of the Spirit, in the clues my body offers. I pray your inner searching may lead you into wisdom, into life of freedom and boundless love.
With love and compassion for you in your searching,
Katie

Your copy should address 3 key questions: Who am I writing for? (Audience) Why should they care? (Benefit) What do I want them to do here? (Call-to-Action).
Create a great offer by adding words like "free" "personalized" "complimentary" or "customized." A sense of urgency often helps readers take an action, so think about inserting phrases like "for a limited time only" or "only 7 remaining!"
