Back To Basics

25:8 “And you shall count seven weeks of years, seven times seven years, so that the time of the seven weeks of years shall be to you forty-nine years. 25:9 Then you shall send abroad the loud trumpet on the tenth day of the seventh month; on the day of atonement you shall send abroad the trumpet throughout all your land. 25:10 And you shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants; it shall be a jubilee for you, when each of you shall return to his property and each of you shall return to his family. 25:11 A jubilee shall that fiftieth year be to you; in it you shall neither sow, nor reap what grows of itself, nor gather the grapes from the undressed vines. 25:12 For it is a jubilee; it shall be holy to you; you shall eat what it yields out of the field.

Key Point: As we celebrate RCC’s 50th anniversary, let us get back to the “basics” of Biblically informed, and passionate, personal commitment to being fully devoted followers/disciples of Christ Text Principles - “Year of Jubilee”

  1. God owns everything; we are to be dependent on Him
  2. We can be enslaved by our possessions, debt, status, etc. and depend on our resources instead of relying on God
  3. Jubilee requires us to return to the basics of land, family, values
  4. Jubilee allows/creates opportunities to re-create justice and mercy relationships between employer/ee, lender/borrower, owner/tenant, countrymen/foreigners etc.

What would happen if we actually did a Jubilee?

To what/whom are we __________________? Property, debt, status, self-reliance etc.

How do we find __________________ from the “cult of the imperial self’?

To what __________________ do we need to return in 2008?
