I have one more comment to add = I wish the church would focus on helping our neighbors first rather than saving souls first. If you are hungry or homeless - to help the least of these - then through our love and genuine care - we are an example of God's love - through our love and action - we are in a better place to talk about Jesus and hopefully people will want more of Him.
I couldn’t agree more! Seeking justice is the best form of gospel proclamation. Jesus said we’d be known by our love for each other and our neighbours.
Good morning - thank you for sharing this sermon - this is packed with so much truth - when I look at the history of colonialism and how much it has affected each of us in our perspectives, in the church. As I learn more about Colonialism as well as learn the history of our Indigenous people, it has made me look at my faith so much differently. Sorry if I am rambling. I often wonder if we took money and power out of the equation in our society - I wonder what it would look like......something to ponder. Thank you !
