58: Journey into God's Heart of Compassion

Compassion, Willow Creek

58 Banner

The compassionate heart of God, expressed in Isaiah 58, is the catalyst for the call to end extreme poverty in this generation. Not only is it possible, it may well be our greatest opportunity and accomplishment as followers of Jesus Christ in our day.

This three-session, video-based study will challenge and encourage groups to respond to God's call to join the "true fast" described in Isaiah 58, moving beyond mere religious activity to actively working on behalf of the extremely poor.

Through firsthand accounts spanning the globe, groups will listen to stories of hardship and hope, suffering and sacrifice, trials and trust. They will discover how to live differently with a heart that is attuned to God's heart for the poor.
