Justice For AllDuring the month of August, we'll take a closer look at passages of Scripture found within Proverbs and several of the Old Testament prophets which highlight God's Justice. What types of injustices did God's people experience? How did the prophets speak judgment, and how did the people of Israel respond?
After journeying through these passages together, we'll ask how to best apply the lessons from Micah, Amos, Isaiah, and Proverbs to our present-day reality. |
