That's an amazing sermon - I just wish it hadn't been preached on the other side of the world to me! I've never yet heard a social justice message that actually relates back to the Gospel and specifically frees you from the guilt/defensiveness response. Normally it's: <ul><li>Jesus helped the poor</li> <li>There are lots of poor people</li> <li>Get off your butt</li></ul> I like how you added: <ul><li>Don't do it because you feel bad</li> <li>Don't do it because it will make you a "good" person</li> <li>Do it because of the joy, love and freedom Christ gives you</li></ul> It's inspired me more than any sermon I've heard in a long while. Thanks Drew. That’s an amazing sermon - I just wish it hadn’t been preached on the other side of the world to me! I’ve never yet heard a social justice message that actually relates back to the Gospel and specifically frees you from the guilt/defensiveness response.

Normally it’s:

  • Jesus helped the poor
  • There are lots of poor people
  • Get off your butt

I like how you added:

  • Don’t do it because you feel bad
  • Don’t do it because it will make you a “good” person
  • Do it because of the joy, love and freedom Christ gives you

It’s inspired me more than any sermon I’ve heard in a long while.
