BACK TO THE FUTURE: A 4-WEEK SERIES ON JUSTICE
WEEK 3 BIG IDEA: Jesus calls us to do justice.

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.

Abuse is a form of injustice that is far too common, but how many of us have been taught how to identify or talk about it? We can help break the cycle of silence and complicity by helping teenagers (and ourselves) identify abusive relationships. Check out THIS TED Talk to help you identify abuse so you can help teenagers do the same.
