Shame & Guilt
“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.” – Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, “Letter from a Birmingham Jail” We tend to think of guilt & shame in individualistic terms. But God’s Word teaches both individual and corporate responsibility for sin. And the good news is that the feeling of corporate shame and guilt is an opportunity for corporate confession and repentance, for healing and restoration. Join us this morning as we continue our Be the Bridge series and address our corporate Shame & Guilt.
From Series: "Be the Bridge"
In a time when there is so much division over race, class, and culture, many are hesitant to step in the gap because they're fearful of saying or doing the wrong thing. But the church must be the bridge to heal the divisions that exist among us. If not the church, then who? "Be the Bridge" is a new sermon series and discussion group that will explore what the God has to say about racial unity and how we, as the church, can move towards it. It is based on Latasha Morrison's Book and small group curriculum by the same name.
