Stewarding Life Part 3: Stewards of JUSTICE

Bible texts: Amos 5:18-24 and Luke 4:16-21

In this third part of our "Stewarding Life" series, we consider the centrality of justice to our calling as followers of Jesus. With a critique of modern worship trends, Paul looks to Jesus' words in Luke to argue for a cross shaped discipleship, which is concerned with both the vertical -- our right relationship with God -- and the vertical -- our right relationships with each other. But how seriously has the church taken this calling? To what extent does the harsh rebuke of Amos 5 also apply to us?
