Dennis reflects on the intersection of faith, history, and social justice, using examples from Australian folk songs and contemporary political challenges. He emphasises that Jesus’ message of liberation and compassion remains vital in today’s world, where many still face oppression. He cites Bishop Budde’s call for mercy and justice, urging believers to reflect God’s love and grace in their actions. The sermon concludes with a reminder that, like Ezra and Nehemiah, we are called to rebuild our communities by engraining the teachings of God in our hearts and voicing them in our world.
