06/10/20 - Seek Justice

This week, with all that has been happening in the country, we would like to continue the conversation about Justice, Race, Grace, Love, Respect for Authority and how we can find hope in God's Word. The tough part about our culture is it pushes you to pick sides and only listen to those who agree with you. Most teens tend to have their worldview informed on the issues listed above from social media or their friend groups. We want to take a step back and ask, what does the Bible say, and how do I apply that to these situations. In this video from John Piper, we will look at the idea that “Race isn't just a social issue. It's a blood issue that undermines and rejects the work of Christ on the cross.” Hopefully, instead of picking sides on an issue, we can grow in seeking justice, loving mercy, walking humbly/listening well, showing grace, respecting our authorities, and letting the gospel shape how we think instead of culture or our own opinions.

Scripture Passages: Micah 6:8, Amos 2:6-7, Romans 13:1-5, James 1:9-10
Main Point: The Gospel helps us to have hope, so we can seek justice, love mercy and walk humbly.
