Four God so Loved

Series Date: 4/27/2025

Series Summary: Starting April 27th, Four God So Loved invites us to remember God's love for four particular groups of people: the poor, the foreigner, the orphan and the widow, also known as the "quartet of the vulnerable. " Throughout Scripture, God demonstrates a special concern for the wellbeing of this quartet and calls his people to do the same. God not only remembers their vulnerability and cries for justice, he also works to "re-member" them back into community so that they can live as equal members within the Body of Christ. God’s love for this quartet grounds and shapes our own calling to love and re-member the vulnerable in our own communities.
