GC2016 Audio: 'Church needs compassionate hearts'

 

 

This morning Bishop John Yambasu preached from Matthew 10:5-10 (read in four languages) a sermon entitled "Passion with Compassion" "For far too long we have had open hearts and yet nothing seems to happen. What the church needs now is compassionate hearts. For far too long we have spoken of open minds. But it seems to me that nothing has happened. What we need now and most is engaging minds. Friends we need to engage each other or we perish as a denomination. Red and yellow black and white, poor and rich; have and haves not; gay or straight, hetero sexual or bisexual we need to engage each other."
