Wardrobe Clash

The disconnect Between Zimbabwe as a Christian nation – characterized more by corruption and green then honestly and generosity Local churches resemble the power structures of political parties with stringing accusations and distrust and not havens of forgiveness, understanding and unity. In individual Christians

Bad faith and Good faith Jesus exposed bad faith The hypocrisy of the Pharisees Jesus highlighted good faith Like the Faith of a Canaanite Woman

John 8:1-11

Bad faith We need to be troubled about how come the Pharisees and teachers of the law who should have been to recognize Jesus as the Messiah through the very scriptures they so diligently studied failed to recognize Jesus.

Bad faith Bad faith – 1. Self preserving, therefore threatened and exclusive

Bad faith – 1. Self preserving, therefore threatened and exclusive “History is the long and tragic story of the fact that privileged groups seldom give up their privileges voluntarily. Individuals may see the moral light and voluntarily give up their unjust posture; but, as Reinhold Niebuhr has reminded us, groups are more immoral than individuals. We know through painful experience that freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.” Martin Luther King Jr

Bad faith – 1. Self preserving, therefore threatened and exclusive It helps explain how government and leaders with great intensions struggle to give up their power And it helps explain why good people can be part of something that becomes self serving and self protecting. An inherent danger to every institution

Good faith – 1. Self giving No more to be said

Bad faith – 2. Tends towards self- righteousness and separation

Bad faith 2a: Knowledge puffs up

Good faith – 2. Sees God’s standards as the great leveler to show our common brokenness

Good faith 2a: Faith grows through life’s challenges

Bad faith: 3 Condemns Rejoices in God’s judgement

Good faith – 3. Sees the image of God in people

Good faith – Accepts and Reflects God’s grace

The True miracle
