Starting The Conversation - Panel 2

Last month, July 2016, the killing of 2 black men and 5 police sparked a national outcry. The elders and pastors of Harvest saw the need to address this national outcry and talk about how we can respond in a Gospel-centered way. Kennon taught on Ephesians 2:11-22 and spoke about "The Gospel and Injustice" then gave these practical application points of how we can respond: Listen (across racial lines) Empathize Grieve with those who grieve Love one another OUT LOUD Stand together in the condemnation of injustice and the pursuit of justice Exhort one another to hope in Christ Pray together (We then prayed together in service for the following list) Although the sermon was a great start, we didn't want it to end there. We met as a church body that next week to start the conversation on the Gospel and Injustice. Our desire was to have practical opportunities to begin talking and listening to one another after hearing panel discussions from the stage.
