Blind Spots - How We View Worship // Chris Dolson | 11.04.18 by Blackhawk Church

View Details

Hannah and Travis from our Worship Arts team wrote a song called Open Our Eyes to help us meditate on the themes of Amos and the Blind Spots series.

Verse 1 Open our eyes Blindness surrounds us in shadows where we hide Open our eyes Forgive us our pride and our shallow, selfish lives

We turn back to You Your Word is the truth

CHORUS Let justice roll like a river Shalom to broken souls Let justice roll like a river And righteousness like a neverending stream

VERSE 2 Open our eyes Father of justice, You love the oppressed and poor Open our eyes If we ignore them, then how can we say we're Yours?

We turn back to You Your Word is the truth

You will renew All who come to You

The Meaning of the Resurrection of Jesus // Chris Dolson | 10.15.17 by Blackhawk Church

View Details

Dr. Naaman will address the most common misconceptions, concerns and questions about Muslims in our nation. He will share his 20+ years of experience ministering to Muslims in Chicago and will provide understanding and insight into building authentic relationships.

View Details

To paraphrase Martin Luther King Jr., to love our neighbors certainly means meeting the physical needs of the individual beaten along the road, but it also requires us—when people are continuously beaten on the same road—to address the systemic problem. Liz will provide a biblical foundation for advocacy on public policy issues and offer practical suggestions on ways that individuals can speak up for those who are vulnerable both locally and globally.

View Details

Many people see issues of injustice and hope to quickly swoop in and save the day. Issues of injustice are long and hard battles to fight and they carry with them a weighty cost. Dr. Samuel Naaman will share compelling stories that highlight the commitment required and the deep cost of justice and he’ll challenge Christ-followers about their individual responsibility to get passionate about their faith, to reach out and engage.

View Details

Few issues are more complex or controversial than questions of Immigration. While many Americans think of immigration as a political, economic, or security issue, World Relief’s Matthew Soerens argues that it is also a biblical issue that presents an important missional opportunity for the Church in the US. Matthew will examine what the Bible says that should inform how Christ-followers would treat refugees and other Immigrants.

View Details

The Bible teaches that justice is a very big deal to God. God’s mission in the world is to set all things right, that is to bring justice. If God were going to give us a job description, surely the notion of doing justice would be a part of that job description. It is something that the Lord requires of us. He wants us to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with Him.
