  8. Slavery- In the Bible "Slaves, obey your masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ.” Ephesians 6:5 How can a "plain reading" of scripture lead to un-Christian ethics? What parallels are there today?

  9. Teach slaves to be subject to their masters in everything, to try to please them, not to talk back to them. Titus 2:9 Slaves, in reverent fear of God submit yourselves to your masters, not only to those who are good and considerate, but also to those who are harsh. 1 Peter 2:18 Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything; and do it, not only when their eye is on you and to curry their favour, but with sincerity of heart and reverence for the Lord. Colossians 3:22

  10. Slavery- And the Kingdom

  11. In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: … he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant. • Philippians 2:5-7 Live as God’s slaves. 1 Peter 2:16 We preach that Jesus Christ is Lord, and we ourselves are your servants for Jesus’ sake. 2 Corinthians 4:5

  12. Slavery- And the Kingdom We are part of a global system – what is our role as bearers of Good News? What does it mean for us to be ‘slaves of Christ’?
