Race. Hope. Justice.

1.   DO JUSTICE - USE YOUR VOICE AND POWER IN A JUST WAY.

“He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.”

Micah 6:8 (NIV)

• Love mercy.

• Walk humbly.

2.   SEE PEOPLE AS GOD SEES PEOPLE.

“Being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”

Philippians 1:6 (NIV)

“But the Lord said to Samuel, ‘Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.’”

1 Samuel 16:7 (NIV)

3.   LOVE PEOPLE THE WAY JESUS LOVES PEOPLE.

“My command is this: ‘Love each other as I have loved you.’”

John 15:12 (NIV)

“So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.”

Galatians 3:26-28 (NIV)

“But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!”

Amos 5:24 (NIV)

“...You lived in this world without God and without hope. But now you have been united with Christ Jesus. Once you were far away from God, but now you have been brought near to Him through the blood of Christ.”

Ephesians 2:12b-13 (NLT)

“For Christ himself has brought peace to us. He united Jews and Gentiles into one people when, in His own body on the cross, He broke down the wall of hostility that separated us. He did this by ending the system of law with its commandments and regulations. He made peace between Jews and Gentiles by creating in Himself one new people from the two groups. Together as one body, Christ reconciled both groups to God by means of His death on the cross, and our hostility toward each other was put to death.

Ephesians 2:14-16 (NLT)
