Sermon Title - “What Breaks God’s Heart: Global Hunger”

Scriptures - Leviticus 25:1-12 & Luke 4:14-21

Theme - This is the third part of a four part sermon series on the topic, “What Breaks God’s Heart?” Today we focus on global poverty. The Old Testament speaks of a year of jubilee to help the poor get a fresh start. Jesus announced the Kingdom of God and the year of jubilee in his teaching and ministry. What does it mean for the church today to proclaim the year of jubilee in a world in which 9 million people die from hunger every year?
