PastoFs sermon touches off unjust killings of black men Photo by Timothy Ramsey Pastor Omar L. Dykes prays during alter call for the safety of young black men across the nation on Sunday, Aug. 7. BY TIMOTHY RAMSEY THE CHRONICLE The focus of the nation has been fixated on the recent killings of unarmed black men at the hands of those who have sworn to protect and serve. Some choose to keep quiet as , to not offend while others speak on * what they feel is just. Pastor Omar L. Dykes of St. John { CMf. Church is the latter. His ser mon on Sunday, Aug. 7, touched on the wrongful killings of the young black men and related them to the unjustified crucifixion of Jesus Christ. He said he was inspired to write this sermon after reading "The Cross and the Lynching Tree" by James H. Cone. The acquittal of the police offi cers involved in the death of Freddie Gray also spurred his interest on the topic. Gray, 25, died in Baltimore police custody in April 2015. He sustained a fatal neck injury while in custody. Although several officers were charged in his death, none were con victed. On July 27, prosecutors dropped all charges against the three remaining officers facing trial in con nection with Gray's death. "What concerns me is we only hear of the cases that are being report ed, and there are other cases that are not reported," said Dykes. "What is it for me to be the voice of the voice less, those who have suffered and been oppressed if I don't call for accountability for those who perpetu ate the issue of shooting black bod ies? I also want to give hope to those who feel like they have no voice and say what we are experiencing, Jesus experienced it as well." Dykes stated that he knows some times people have trouble identifying See Killings on B6 "What concerns me is we only hear of the cases that ire being reported, ind there are other cases that are not reported." -Pastor Omar L. Dykes A Gift of Mercy Lesson Scripture: Romans 9:6-18 By the end of this les son, we will ?See how all individu als are dependent on the mercy of God ?Understand how this applies to us personally ?Recognize that God remains faithfui to His covenant promises Background: The time is about AD. 57 in Corinth. Paul is still dealing with the Jews who don't want to accept Gentile believers. He is presenting the case for God's plan to be all encompassing and not singularly for the Jews only. Paul reminds them of God's promise to Abraham to bless the whole world through him ... not one sector or ethnicity. t Lesson: Paul has pointed out that Israel was the recipient of God's "covenants" with Abraham, Moses, and David. He also points out that the children of Abraham who were to be blessed were not the "children of the flesh" but were the "children of the promise"... thru Isaac. Paul used Rebecca's twins to illus trate God's choice for His covenant promise recipient. In Romans 9:13, Paul quotes Malachi 1:2-3 where the conventional thought is that we should see God's use of the word "hated" meaning more so, "Jacob I chose, but Esau I rejected." This is clearer when you actually read Malachi and reflect on how God in fact blessed Esau, just differently from the way Jacob See Lesson on B6 * t 11 Elder Richard Wayne Wood ' Sunday School Lesson 1 III
