BACK TO THE FUTURE: A 4-WEEK SERIES ON JUSTICE
WEEK 2 BIG IDEA: Jesus can rebuild what has been destroyed.

SERIES OVERVIEW:

Whether it’s to stop yourself from saying something stupid, or see where you’ll be in 10 years, or experience your favorite moment in history firsthand, we all wish we had a time machine sometimes, right? While time machines might not actually exist, the Bible can sometimes feel a little bit like a time machine. It’s the story of the God who exists outside of time and had a plan to save the world before time even existed. God’s plan was fulfilled through Jesus 2,000 years ago, but prophets like Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Amos left us hints about God’s plan hundreds of years before that. So what was that plan? In this 4-week series, we’ll discover that Jesus’ mission was to set people free and rebuild what has been destroyed — and we can join Him on that mission, in part, by doing justice and remembering all God has done.

Can birth certificates change the world? When there is so much wrong in the world, it can be difficult to know where to begin. But if you ask Kristen Wenz, the right to a birth certificate is an essential place to start. CHECK OUT her TED Talk and ask yourself: “How could we get invovled with a small but essential movement toward justice like this one?”
