Preacher: Tim Pyles | Series: Special Needs

God has always called his people to extend hearts of compassion and hands of mercy to those in need: strangers and foreigners, widows, the fatherless, and others whom our larger culture may neglect or marginalize.  No one demonstrated that ethic more beautifully and consistently than Jesus, and He instructed His followers to follow in His steps in doing the same.  Among those in our communities and congregations who desperately need those expressions of the Father’s love and the warm embrace of inclusion in a community of faith are children and adults with special needs and their families.
