R.E.S.P.E.C.T. the Stranger

God creates, knows, loves, and sees all of us in our full humanity. But as people, we can fall into the habit of assuming everyone is the same or everyone is like us. While we share a common humanity, these assumptions can be harmful and prevent us from truly seeing other people and listening to their perspectives. By looking at Biblical stories, this series will help us learn how to listen to, respect, affirm, and act for and with others. In doing so, we can also come to know God even more fully. Week 3: R.E.S.P.E.C.T. the StrangerScripture: Deuteronomy 10:14-22 (focus verses: 10:17-19)Last week we talked about listening and then being compelled to act. As followers of God, our actions must always be based on God’s view of the stranger and how God calls us to love them.
