In this final week of the series, we turn to the question of God’s priorities, reflecting on the vivid biblical imagery of living water and the prophet Amos’ call to “let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.” We consider how justice and righteousness cannot be separated, how escapist theologies distort the mission of Christ, and how we are called to actively participate in God’s torrent of justice and hope in the world today.This series seeks to offer an alternative theological framework to dispensationalism which responds to the horrific suffering experienced by Palestinians through the inexcusable aggression of the nation-state of Israel.Passage: Amos 5:18-27; Luke 4:16-21Speaker: Steven Goulstone For further information, see ⁠this statement⁠ from many people within the Baptist Union of New Zealand.For a more detailed unpacking some of the ideas shared in the series, see ⁠Biblical Insights: The Gospel and the land of the Bible⁠.
