The Justice Mission Youth Bible Study

ourchristiancountry — Fri, 02 Mar 2012 20:08:53 +0000

“Learn to do right! Seek justice, encourage the oppressed, defend the cause of the fatherless, plead the case of the widow.” Many American kids today—even in Christian churches—don’t have a full idea of the challenges presented by brutality, by crying children, by grieving widows; not what in the world they can do about it! That’s about to change. The Justice Mission is a video-based curriculum that depicts the stark facts about oppression and injustice around the world … and presents a Bible-based approach to dealing with them! In the DVD segments, students will follow the visit of four American teens to squalid corners of India. They will be prompted to think again, and again, about the evil they find … and about bullying, prejudice, and attitudes that God hates in their own neighborhoods and the hallways of their schools. The Justice Mission is a partnership between Youth Specialties and the International Justice Mission, an organization that, through educating the church and mobilizing effective intervention, serves those who cannot rely on local authorities for relief. The Justice Mission surely will ignite holy passion for the oppressed victims of injustice. It will change lives—of your students in these sessions, and of untold numbers of victims across God’s earth. Here, In One Kit: 5 video segments 5 leader-prompted sessions of depth and foundational clarity— Oppression What God Hates Joining The Fight Against Injustice God’s Vision Do It Now An abundance of …

Burger King Mom: Being Poor in America – Justice for the Poor by Jim Wallis, Session 1

ourchristiancountry — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 12:09:13 +0000

In this DVD group study by Jim Wallis and Sojourners, learn to respond in faith to poverty in your area and around the world. “When the wealthy are dying from diseases of overabundance and the poor are dying from inadequate health care, poor diets, and stress-related illnesses, there is spiritual disease in society.” Justice for the Poor recaptures the biblical vision that links poverty with justice. Jesus’ life and teaching shows a deep compassion toward the poor and marginalized. His messages often highlight the injustices done to the poor and the prejudices the well-off have against them. How can we learn from the poor? What is our responsibility to care for the poor and to advocate for justice on their behalf? In this six-session DVD, designed for use with the Justice for the Poor Participant’s Guide, Jim Wallis and Sojourners will engage your small group to take action. Sessions include: 1. Burger King Mom: Being Poor in America 2. Is There Something Wrong With the Prosperity Gospel? 3. At the Corner of Church and State: What’s the Proper Role of Each in Caring for the Poor? 4. The Gospel According to New Orleans 5. Outside the Gate: The Poor and the Global Economy 6. Beyond “Serial Charity” to a Just Society The DVD, and Participant’s Guide are available at your local Christian bookstore and online at: www.ZondervanChurchSource.com http www.Amazon.com http
