sunday lenten sermon series: economic jubilee
Starting Sunday, March 9th, Pastor Schoon will be leading a six-week sermon series based on the Jubilee Year in the Old Testament. The Jubilee year was a sacred year of liberation, restoration, and economic reset established by God in Leviticus 25. It was part of Israel’s covenantal system to ensure justice, equality, and dependence on God. The principles of the Jubilee Year will help us rethink some of the economic struggles we find in our lives based on the world's expectations. You're invited to come and worship as we look for help in our finances.
Topics that will be included:
*Sabbath Economics ( Leviticus 25:1-7)
*The Economics of Forgiveness (Leviticus 25:8-17)
*Jubilee for the Enslaved and Indebted (Leviticus 25:39-43)
*The Mindset of "My Land" (Leviticus 25:23-28)
*The Jubilee Proclamation (Leviticus 25:10, Isaiah 61:1-3)
*Jubilee at the Cross (Luke 4:16-21)
