Pastor David Mamani explores what “righteousness” and “peace” refer to in God’s kingdom, and what they mean for us.

Isaiah 1:15-23 (NIV) ; 以賽亞書 1:15-23 (CUVS)
Ephesians 2:11-22 (NIV) ; 以弗所書 2:11-22 (CUVS)

Here is the video David made to illustrate the concept of biblical justice.

“God’s Justice” NIV Bible that David refers to in his sermon.

The closing congregational prayer, written by Pastor Rene Padilla:

Our compassionate Father,
we thank you for the indescribable gift you have given us through your Son,
Jesus Christ, through whom, by his undeserved love,
you have given us all things.
Fill us with your love and deliver us from the materialism that surrounds us
in the money-dominated consumer society in which we live.
Make us faithful stewards of your creation and
empower us to receive material possessions as gifts of your undeserved love,
gifts not to be accumulated for our own benefit,
but to be shared with others specially with the excluded ones.
Give us a true hunger and thirst for justice.
Now, guide our eyes to see the plight of those who suffer basic human needs
by the power of your Spirit,
and allow us to bear witness to the new creation you have begun
through Jesus Christ.
We pray in Jesus’ name.
Amen
