Compassion trumps religion. Text: Micah 6:8; Deut. 15:1-11; Matt. 26:11

1. What about Leah’s project stood out to you?2. What is your response to how Leah’s parents encouraged her in this pursuit?3. Read Deuteronomy 15:1-11. How does this attitude towards the poor, reflect how God is calling people to relationship with him as the source of compassion? (Micah 6:8).4. How have you sometimes used “compassion’ as just another way to seek God’s approval? 5. Micah 6 contains some pretty strong accusations by God against Israel’s oppression of the poor. How might pursuing religious ritual over relationship with God lead to this kind of oppression? Where do you see it in our society?6. What can we do to work against this kind of drift into religion over mercy?

1. Watch the CBC documentary on Leah to learn more about what she is doing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0FXnDI_fS6M2. If you’re out and about and come across a “homeless” person, take the time to get to know them. Ask questions, listen, listen, listen. Don’t give answers. It might not turn out as you hope, but see them as God sees them.
