02-05-23 Fifth Sunday after Epiphany: Imagine a World with More... (4/6)

<p>Senior Pastor Colton Lott continues&nbsp;our series with his sermon "Imagine a World with More #Justice".</p> <p>"If individuals don't choose right ways of living suffering ensues. Isaiahs clear that both are needed, that a world with more justice involves the complete shift of society where the straps of the yokes of injustice are not just undone, the yokes aren't just taken off, but they're broken so the yoke that has oppressed God's children can never be used again. That's why often when we talk about justice we soon need to talk about systems, and powers, and principalities because they're important. Because when communities don't choose right ways of living suffering ensues. It is important for communities to choose those ways which allow every child of God to flourish with their customs, their traditions, their practices, their laws, because being just requires choosing those ways so that all of God's children, especially the poor, and the marginalized, and the hungry, are lifted up. The problem is when we end the conversation there we don't answer the next question. What if communities don't choose right ways of living?" &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Scripture: Isaiah 58:6-9a&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Click here to donate: </strong><a href="https://app.easytithe.com/App/Giving/fccelreno" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://app.easytithe.com/App/Giving/fccelreno</a></p>
