Message: “Introduction of Series: Reconciliation in a Time of Fear” from Matthew Dyer

This series follows on from our study of Amos at the beginning of the year. Amos not only addressed surface problems in the culture but, also, traced back the symptoms of an unjust society to reveal several deep rooted dark issues in humanity that still hold us captive today: racism, greed, violence and toxic, elitist, self-righteous religion. During this series we will take on the challenge of Jesus to pursue a completely different way of living: a way of light, love, reconciliation, generosity and peace. Jesus too gets to the root of issues by compassionately revealing the darkness in humanity but positively validates the light residing in every human heart and calls us to a life of truth, meaning and freedom. With God’s help we can breathe in God’s spirit, take courage and become a movement of love, peace and hope.
