Luke 14 and the Role of People with Disabilities in the Church

- Mr. Mazza intertwines his own personal story of having a son with cerebral palsy with “perhaps the most over analyzed and under-performed mandate in Scripture,” that found in Luke 14. Based on Jesus’ own example of seeking out the needy, poor, blind and lame, Mr. Mazza challenges church leaders, in particular, to “compel” people with disabilities to come in to the Church, that God’s house may be full. He emphasizes that disability ministry is “not a church elective,” and that only through bringing people with disabilities into the Body of Christ can the Church be complete in its service and witness to the world. He closes with a video of how the Church in Peru is working toward God’s house becoming full.

Strength beyond measure in the face of unimaginable pain. Love's vigil knows no bounds.
I am a disabled person yet I have absolute Faith in CHRIST my LORD and Saviour, yet I have friends
and family who have "it all" but they have nothing as they only believe in what they have in this world but I cannnot wait for the true Kingdom of GOD as this will be the True Happiness of what GOD has planned for us in HIS Heavenly Kingdom! GOD Bless you Pastor and your family and to all Christians who truly believe in Jesus as their only Hope for Eternal Life! 🙏
This is really powerful. I am totally blind my self, a believer in Jesus Christ, but have never thought of it in this direction! Thanks for opening my eyes!

Amazing Message!!!! Thank you so much. As a mother with a child with Rett Syndrome, this warms my heart that this message is finally getting out!
I’ll say this as a special needs Christian I see true colors of peoples hearts toward people who have a disability.
Your perspective is invaluable. It's disheartening to witness discrimination. Every individual deserves love and acceptance, regardless of ability.

I have never felt welcome in any church. I'm a handicapped person.
