Why the Church Must Lead - Why the Church Must Lead

The word justice is often heard in the wider culture today, but what does justice actually mean? The Bible consistently shows us that our God is a God of justice. And moreover, Scripture tells us that, at its core, justice means caring for and meeting the deepest needs of the vulnerable in our communities -- the poor, the widow, the fatherless, and the foreigner. And sadly, there may be no more vulnerable group in our world right now than the millions of people, including many children, who live unprotected today from modern slavery, sex trafficking, and abuse. This Sunday, we are honored to have Dr. Eddie Byun as our guest preacher. Dr. Byun is the head of Talbot Seminary’s Doctor of Ministry program, the author of a number of books, and the producer of an award-winning documentary about sex trafficking in Korea. Dr. Byun will help us to deepen our understanding of God’s heart for justice, to discover the hard realities of modern slavery (locally and globally), and to discern where we as followers of Jesus can best join God to, Lord willing, see a decrease and maybe even an end to trafficking in our lifetimes.
