8 He has shown you, O mortal, what is good.
And what does the Lord require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy
and to walk humbly[a] with your God.
Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you." -- Matthew 28
“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” -- John 13

The man in the video. Do you believe that the apostles was preacher's like he?
I believe that this new sentimental way to preach is not real way of the saints of God, it shows no humility, or self-control, even though the subject may be also in those important values, but the preach it self has not those values.
And it is a problem.
One clearly seen thing which describe, the man of the last days, is incontinence, so be careful with all that kind of way's which today carries.
Serve your Lord and God, with holy fear, and reverence.

What does Jesus want us to do ? To establish ourselves in the love of God....... Then being perfect as he is will be second nature. Yet we prefer to establish ourselves in pointless belief systems and correcting the error in our brother or removing the speck of dust out of his eye.
Yes Apostle Paul rejected the world of sin and condemned it but Apostle Paul church of Christ was just the beginning and a very small church not even like the larger Church of Christ today , where people here on this video teach of the inequalities of the poor and the classes and then the races , as Many races have to resist the deception of the spirit of this world who may undermine their skin color or race with others .....Still Jesus prefer that His children stay in peace and love all people and pray for the plan of Jesus , not to dictate Jesus plan and lose God blessing

Yes--the black man in America has been horribly mistreated. Both in the secular world and in the Christian church. I completely agree that white people have done some horrible things to black people and my ancestors have treated them in ways that were much much lower than what white people have received.
To be honest? This video seems to be more about celebrating mankind. If we wanted true "justice", we'd all be in hell right now. But mercy means that Jesus died for our sins. Mercy means that none of us are really getting "what we deserve". This church service didn't really seem to be about that. It seemed to be more about "getting what's mine". But Christ isn't about social justice. He didn't come just so that we'd all be treated the same on earth and ONLY so that we'd love each other more. Jesus came so that we would be reconciled to God. In the process, we need to love each other more.
If I were in a church like that? I'd ask the pastor why he talked more about things OTHER than Jesus. His job is to preach the Gospel, and feed the sheep--not feed a social movement.
As a Christian, I don't trust anything that is written in the New Testament as much as what the Old Testament would say. Especially the stories that were trying to illustrate truths in an easy to understand way. As a true Christian, I reject almost everything in the stories both old and new testament, because they were often attempting to illustrate God's truth in a way that anyone could understand. But they obviously didn't succeed, as evidenced by Christianity's history.
I would trust people who focus on the LOVE that is the major theme of the core writings of the Bible.
Are you trying to suppress the spirit? Because you will not succeed.
I was addressing the OP's quote. But haven't had time to watch the full hour-plus video.
