Sunday @ 10am - The Way of Compassion
2025-06-22 10:00 - 11:30 | Livingstone Community Centre, 1 Livingstone Street, IVANHOE, VIC, 3079, Australia
Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy – Jesus
What does it mean to live with true compassion in a world that desperately needs mercy?
This Sunday, we’ll wrestle with one of Jesus’ most challenging teachings. How do we show genuine mercy without enabling harmful behavior? What’s the difference between compassion that heals and kindness that hurts? These aren’t easy questions, but they’re essential ones for anyone seeking to follow the way of Jesus.
The tension is real: We want to be merciful, but we also see how “mercy” can sometimes perpetuate cycles of harm. We long to be compassionate, but wonder if we’re actually helping or hurting. Jesus calls us blessed when we’re merciful—but what does that mercy actually look like in our families, friendships, and community?
Join Us This Sunday
Where: Livingstone Community Centre Hall
What to Expect:

Heartfelt worship
Time for prayer, reflection and singing
Honest conversation about mercy in action
A warm, welcoming community exploring God’s invitation to blessed living

Whether you’re wrestling with forgiveness, wondering how to help someone you love, or simply curious about what Jesus meant when he called the merciful “blessed,” you’re welcome here.
Come as you are. Bring your questions. Let’s explore together what it means to live the Way of Compassion.

On the last weekend in July 1925 the Ivanhoe Baptist Church opened its brand new chapel on the corner of Livingstone Street and Waterdale Road in Ivanhoe.

One hundred years later that step of courageous faith continues bless the Ivanhoe Community.
