United: First Nations People and The Church

October 25, 2020 (Sunday Morning)
Bible Text: Luke 19:1-10 | Derek Parentau, Jeff Jantzi

Sadly, the church in Canada does not have a good track record with First Nations people. Whether we’re talking about colonialism, the church’s role in residential schools, or just the on-going ostracization and polarization of indigenous people in Canada today - the church has often failed to love indigenous Canadians well. So what can we do about it? How can we, as followers of Jesus, become bridge-builders and embrace unity with our First Nations brothers and sisters? And how can the good news of Jesus guide and shape our efforts?
