Exploring God's Heart for Justice and Our Call to Live in Ways that Reflect that Justice.

He has told you, O mortal, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?
                                                                                             - Micah 6:8

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of others.
                                                                                              - Philippians 2:3-4

In this seven-week study, we will be digging into difficult issues. The key, by the grace of God, is humility. May we open ourselves to what God wants to show us about Himself, His love for all humankind, and His fierce passion for justice.

Note that it would not be possible to use all of the materials in a standard 1.5 hour Small Group Bible Study. Some could be used to enhance the knowledge of the Small Group Leader or as supplemental material to be done before or after the meeting.
