Responding to God's call to righteousness today
This study explores the profound biblical theme of justice, particularly of the prophets Amos and Micah, who spoke against the social and moral corruption of their times, emphasising true worship through justice, mercy, and humility. Rivers of Justice delves into the central theme of justice in Scripture, examining its significance from the Old Testament to the teachings of Jesus and the early Church, while addressing contemporary issues such as climate change, human diversity, and consumerism. Participants are encouraged to reflect on what it means to let justice flow like a river in their lives, churches, and communities, inspired by Micah's call to "act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with God".
Icebreakers, Bible readings, eye openers, discussion starters, personal application make this a rich resource for group or individual study.
