The Broadway Church of Christ Leadership has chosen Micah 6:8 as our
focus verse for 2008. We work and pray daily to apply this verse to all
of our ministries. David Pounds, our Campus Minister helped pull our
thoughts together and wrote the following. We hope that these words
will shape our corporate and private lives in the coming months.
Broadway 2008
He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require
of you? … To act justly … and to love mercy … and to walk humbly with
your God. __Micah 6:8
The function of this piece is a call and a prayer. In the same strand
as God's narrowing our vision and focus in past seasons to particular
foci (i.e. Philippians 2, Ever becoming a people of love, and
Discovering Jesus); this statement is an effort to provide clarity of
direction and a shared prayer of anticipation for God's work among us
in this season:
(Please join with the leadership at Broadway in praying this prayer)
In view of Your untarnished justice, unfailing compassion, and
unswerving loyalty to humanity; Lord, it is our desire to walk humbly
with You as people who utterly depend on your presence and faithfully
speak of and live by Your character. As You are just, may we seek to
provide for those who ache with emptiness, to give voice to those who
are unheard, and to make right where there are wounds. As you delight
in showing mercy, may our living be invaded with tenderness, our
relationships molded by compassion, and our services centered in
generosity. As you have walked with us, in our flesh and in our dust,
may we never be so enthralled with our own journey that we lose step
with You or sight of others. Rather, we prayerfully anticipate that
in our community, in our ministries, and in our living…our neighbors
may be surprised and refreshed by You.

Questions to consider within each ministry context:
ACT with JUSTICE:
· Where do we see emptiness - emptiness of worth, purpose, or nourishment? (Micah 7:1)
· Whose voice is being muffled by the powerful, the influential,
or even one's own self-presentation? (Micah 7:3)
· Where is there hurt? (Micah 7:8)
DELIGHT in MERCY:
· Where is a tender touch needed? (Micah 7:2)
· What relationships among us or around us need the ointment of compassion? (Micah 7:6)
· How are we demonstrating generosity? (Micah 7:14b)
JOURNEY in HUMILITY:
· Where do we see God working? (Micah 7:18-20)
· Who is our neighbor? (Micah 7:14a)
· How does God desire to serve our neighbor? (Micah 6:8) |
Come join us as we explore how to act justly, love kindness, & walk humbly with God" - Micah 6:8
