In this weeks message Blaine discusses the feeding of the four thousand and how this relates to how we show compassion.

In the story of Jesus healing the deaf man, we are again met with the healing power and human compassion of Jesus. However, the crowds seem to again miss the point. e people were zealous to share what Jesus had done for them in healing, but were not zealous about following Him as their Savior and King.

This passage shows us the importance of theology and the role it plays in our lives and how we view God and ourselves.

Why is proper theology important? Right theology leads to right thinking about who God is and who we are. Proper theological understanding helps us know how we should approach and interact with God.
