A Biblical Response to the Refugee Crisis
A Biblical Response to the Refugee Crisis
Due to techical difficulties, there is no audio.
1. What does Paul’s message on Mars Hill in Acts 17:26-27 tell us about God’s sovereignty and His redemptive plan for the movement of peoples?
2. What does Jesus’ command in Matthew 25:34-40 teach us about welcoming the stranger?
3. What does the New Testament teach us about hospitality - philoxenia “love of strangers” and showing compassion to the household of faith?
4. What does the Old Testament (Leviticus 19:33-34, Deuteronomy 10:18-19, Ezekiel 47:21-23; Zechariah 7:8-10) teach us about how God’s people are to treat the foreigner, the fatherless and the forcibly displaced peoples among them?
Application: How shall we live in light of a God who reigns sovereignly orchestrates the movement of all peoples, who calls the church to provide for his people, and who seeks and shelters the refugee with his grace?
