December 7, 2014 “Light for Revelation”

In the second of two sermons on race and society, Pastor Tracy explores the idea that the majority population unthinkingly enjoys all sort of privileges that are not extended to minorities  – –  a position that has been captured by the new catch-phrase Criming while white.”  She notes that conditions were just the same in Israel 2000 years ago, and that a large part of Jesus’s ministry focused on getting the privileged Romans to see the Jews under their rule as fellow human beings, instead of de-humanized “others.”  Scripture: Luke 1: 39-45 and Luke 2:25-32. (Click  to hear the first sermon in this series)
