Other Events

Drop-In Discussion: What does the bible say regarding the owning of slaves and what verses did American slave holders use to justify the practice?
6:30-7:30pm virtual!
LOVE of neighbor is one of the fundamental teachings of the Bible. Love, however, is diametrically opposed to the concept of oppressive slavery. Hence, some people are puzzled by the mention of slavery in the Bible. In ancient times God allowed his people to own slaves (Genesis 14:14, 15). Even in the days of the apostles, some Christians were slave owners and some were slaves. Rev. Michelle Yates presents.
