Each year, Wilson Community Church takes a weekend to raise awareness of the plight of the orphan and vulnerable child in Wilson and abroad. We were all once orphaned and fatherless spiritually, and God made a way for us to be sons and daughters through the person and work of Jesus Christ. As a result, God has called the church to make a way for the orphan to have hope and a family.
May 3, 2015 | Galatians 4:4-7 |
Guest speaker, Jason Johnson, helps us understand how the gospel working inside of us compels us to care for orphaned and vulnerable children. Christ has redeemed our past, altered our present reality, and shifted our future trajectory for eternity. When we give our family to a child, we can do the same for them.
November 2, 2014 | James 1:27 |
When God adopts us into his family through the grace of Christ, we begin to work that out by having a heart for the fatherless here on this earth. As we remembered Orphan Sunday as a church, Pastor Gary helped us understand how we “visit” the orphans as James 1:27 encourages us to do.
November 10, 2013 | James 1:27 |
Pastor Gary Combs preached on WCC’s Orphan Sunday from James 1:27 on how the church is to “visit” hope on the world’s orphans as an expression of their authentic Christian faith.
