Sermons on Justice
The Way of Empire [Rev. 17-18] | Mike Lamson
Mike walks through Rev. 17-18 describing “Babylon the Great.” John walks through all the ways Empire asserts itself in our world and God’s judgment of it. Empire is much closer to our experience than we think.
Wrath and Harps (Pt. 2) [Rev. 16]
Mike walks through the seven bowls of the wrath of God’s divine judgment, and why it’s necessary. It is a much different picture than what we think of as “wrath,” and to the first century listeners, a clear message on something we need to hear in our current situation.
Walking Barefoot in the Dark [Ex. 3:1-12] | Rachel Reinink
Rachel Reinink joins us as she walks through the call of Moses in Exodus 3 and why God asked Moses to take off his sandals at the burning bush.
Signs, Seals, Delivered [Rev. 6] | Mike Lamson
Mike walks through the first 6 seals of Revelation, why divine judgment is something all of us actually want to happen, and how Jesus redefines what conquering looks like.
When the Church Prioritizes Discernment [Eph. 6:10-17] | Mike Lamson
Mike talks through the Jewish tradition of the “the powers and authorities” in addition to spiritual warfare. It may not be what you are familiar with, but does place a priority to the church as a body of cultural discernment. Which is shaped by the cross.
When the Church Walks in Justice [Micah 6:8] | Mike Lamson
Mike walks through the words justice and righteousness in the Hebrew Bible, leading up to the church’s call to care about the most vulnerable.
“That’s Not Fair!” [Matthew 20:1-16] | Mike Lamson
Pastor Mike starts our journey into Holy Week discussing God’s view of justice, and how God’s grace doesn’t have a grading scale. Keep up with us at www.newgroundchurch.org/live!
