RACISM/RESPECT

July 13, 2016 • Pastor Josh Payne

In this dynamic message Pastor Josh Payne speaks directly to the issues affecting the heart of our nation. He answers the questions “where should we focus?” and “what can we do?” during these times. Most importantly this message will unite, empower, and inspire people of all walks to be proactive instead of reactive. This beam of hope breaks through the cloudiness and confusion of our current national situation and articulates the simple steps each of us can take toward significant change.

“Overwhelming victory is ours even in moments like these through Christ who loved us! We serve a big God who did not in any way design or desire these events to transpire but in spite of them He is more than able to take this evil that was meant to divide and destroy us and bring something good out of it. He is able to take our mess and turn it into a masterpiece. These issues have already increased the awareness in our nation that we have problems and we must do something. WE CAN do something about our common problem. WE CAN refuse to choose sides and instead WE CAN choose souls. WE CAN value and respect each other. WE CAN show mutual respect to all. WE CAN choose to love in a world full of hate. WE CAN choose to do good to others who have no way of repaying us. WE CAN choose to no longer participate in the negative national conversation. Instead WE CAN choose to speak life even when all we see is darkness. WE CAN use our words to build each other up, stir each other up, and cheer each other up. WE CAN pray for issues even when they don’t directly involve us, asking God to release His grace, His hope, His protection, and His wisdom into our situations. We have the power to change this!”
