Pastor Dr. Charles W. Ferguson
Mitchell Harper
Proposition
Most people deal with an environment that suggests that a victim/injured person must readily forgive regardless if a person changes their behavior or not. Forgiveness is not cheap and requires interaction that leads to a level of restoration toward mutual respect of the sacredness inherent in humanity. Otherwise, we must create boundaries for those who are not interested in that level of accountability, relationship, restoration, or sacredness.
Relevant Question
How do we deal with this intersection of forgiveness and boundaries?
Synthesis
1. Better Understanding of the Biblical Context
2. Realize the Act of Forgiveness Is a Multi Party Engagement
3. Lack of Reciprocity Can Expose a Disingenuous Spirit

Pastor Dr. Charles W. Ferguson
Mitchell D. Harper
Proposition
In order to learn how to be an advocate for others, we must encounter the Holy Spirit (advocate) in a real, vulnerable, and personal manner.
Relevant Question

Synthesis
1. Acknowledge Our Human Frailty
2. Accept the Intercession
3. Embrace the Love of God
4. Recognize that We Can’t Be Detached from Access to the Love of God
Romans 8:26-39
26 Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. 27 And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because[g] the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. 28 And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good,[h] for those who are called according to his purpose. 29 For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. 30 And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified.
31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be[i] against us? 32 He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things? 33 Who shall bring any charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies. 34 Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us.[j] 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? 36 As it is written,
“For your sake we are being killed all the day long;
we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.”
37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Amos 5:18-24
Woe to you who desire the day of the LORD!
Why would you have the day of the LORD?
It is darkness, and not light,
as if a man fled from a lion,
and a bear met him,
or went into the house and leaned his hand against the wall,
and a serpent bit him.
Is not the day of the LORD darkness, and not light,
and gloom with no brightness in it?
“I hate, I despise your feasts,
and I take no delight in your solemn assemblies.
Even though you offer me your burnt offerings and grain offerings,
I will not accept them;
and the peace offerings of your fattened animals,
I will not look upon them.
Take away from me the noise of your songs;
to the melody of your harps I will not listen.
But let justice roll down like waters,
and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.
Proposition
Repetition has become more valuable to our witness than execution of our faith. Empty activity reflects a lack of desire to execute the revolutionary commitment of God’s love, grace, and mercy to all.
Relevant Question
Why then is it revolutionary to function in the world from a Godly Kingdom perspective?
Synthesis
1. Repetition Creates Callousness Toward Relationship
2. Repetition Promotes Satisfaction with the Minimum
3. Kingdom Mindfulness Pushes Us Toward Active Living of Our Faith and Commitment
