Sermon Illustrations For Epiphany 3 (2017)
Isaiah 9:1-4
Breaking the bonds of the oppressor takes on new meaning in our world. Who are the oppressed? If you look around the world, in many places it is the non-dominant tribe or group. In other places it is women. In many places it is children. In still other places it is people whose sexual orientation or gender identity is difference from our own. Who are the oppressed in your neighborhood? Is it the person who is homeless? Is it the recently released or paroled felon? Is it the child with no school supplies or the elder with no prescription coverage?
