We are living in a moment of deep fracture.

As our nation processes recent incidents involving the Department of Homeland Security that resulted in the deaths of two U.S. citizens, the divide feels sharper than ever. Fear is louder. Trust is thinner. And too often, people are reduced to problems instead of neighbors.

Into that moment, Scripture speaks.

In this Bible study on Leviticus 19:33–34, we return to a command God gave His people in the wilderness — a command not shaped by borders, fear, or political power, but by memory, mercy, and love.

“When a foreigner resides among you… you shall love them as yourself.”

This study explores the historical context of ancient Israel, a people who once lived as outsiders and refugees themselves, and God’s insistence that their suffering must shape how they treat others. The text forces us to wrestle with a hard truth: man-made laws may define legality, but God defines righteousness.

This is not a partisan message.
It is a prophetic one.

🕊️ In this Bible study, we explore:
• What Leviticus 19:33–34 meant in its ancient Near Eastern context
• Why God ties compassion for the stranger to Israel’s own history of suffering
• The difference between legal systems and moral responsibility
• How fear dehumanizes — and how God’s law restores dignity
• Why Scripture insists there must be a better way forward

This is a vulnerable, honest teaching for anyone grieving, confused, or exhausted by the hostility of our time. It challenges us to imagine a future shaped not by fear or retaliation, but by the radical, costly love of God.

Because regardless of borders and laws, how we treat people matters — to us as a society, and in the eyes of God.
