This week, Pastor Shaq Hager talks through the story of God's people beginning in Genesis, through the prophets, and into the New Testament to chart a biblical theology of seeing, caring for, and uplifting the vulnerable. To be people of the Kingdom, we must take the work of justice seriously, especially for the marginalized and oppressed. American society, more often than not, exploits the vulnerable and our political system offers promises, but rarely delivers. As followers of Jesus, we're not supposed to look to or wait on the political system to take up the work of justice. It's our work to do. It's Gospel work. It's Kingdom work. To become the church Jesus intended, we must reclaim Israel's ethic for caring for those in need and, to do so, we must take on the posture of being poor in spirit.
