Stewarding the Gospel...of Equality

Stewarding the Gospel…of Equality

 

When we steward well the gospel, we recognize that it calls us to a radical oneness, a radical equality. We are called to give up the pride of separation and see that we are all equal in two amazing ways: all distinctions of prideful hierarchy are leveled in both the condition of being lost and being found. 

 

This week’s #WholeLifeTakeAways: 

 

  • What experience made you feel that you weren’t equal?
  • How hard is it for you to align with our Declaration of Independence that all men are created equal?
  • It is hard to believe that it’s only been just over 100 years that women have been able to vote. What are some sore spots of inequality still today?
  • How have you engaged with children to help them feel equal?
  • What do you think about Jesus saying to the Canaanite woman, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to their dogs?”
  • How broad is your concept of equality? Can you freely sing “When we ALL get to heaven,” or is it easier to sing “some of us get to heaven?”
  • How comfortable are you with Paul’s declaration that on one is righteous…all have turned away?
  • How will our equality of being sinners with everyone change how we look at others?
