Why Bother
The second half of the service emphasizes that the motivation to “bother”—to show kindness, feed the hungry, and love one’s enemies—stems from the unconditional love and peace offered by Christ [49:48]. Using the illustration of a boy saving starfish on a beach, the pastor explains that while one person cannot solve all the world’s problems, their efforts make a definitive difference to the individual they help [51:10]. The service concludes with a call to action, encouraging viewers to seek a peace that exists independently of outward circumstances and to persist in “a thousand little efforts” of grace and righteousness [53:17].
