We continue our discussion on the Great Requirement based on Micah 6:8. We explore the concept of "loving mercy" as an essential aspect of living justly and walking humbly with God. We delve into the meaning of mercy, its translation challenges, and its connection to God's character. Drawing from the example of Jesus and the story of the woman caught in adultery, we discuss the difference between having mercy and loving mercy, highlighting the transformative power of love and compassion. This sermon challenges us to examine our own attitudes towards mercy and judgment and encourages us to embrace a culture of mercy and grace.

In the concluding episode of our GOAT series, we explore the final aspect of the Great Requirement found in Micah 6:8. Acting justly and loving mercy are important, but without walking humbly with God, they are mere acts of philanthropy disconnected from spirituality. We dive into the significance of humility, often misunderstood in today's world, and examine what it truly means to embody this virtue as followers of Jesus. Join us as we uncover the transformative power of walking humbly with God in our pursuit of justice and mercy.

In this episode, we dive into the concept of the "Goduscript" and explore the importance of our relationship with the Father.

Through an analysis of John 14, we discover that Jesus came not just to bring us to heaven but to bring us into the intimate presence of Father God Himself. Join us as we explore how approaching the Father boldly, calling Him by His preferred name, worshiping Him wholeheartedly, and obeying Him can transform our lives and create a masterpiece out of our existence.

June 11, 2023 • Pete Jankowski

In this episode, we delve into the concept of justice and its connection to our actions towards vulnerable groups. We explore how justice goes beyond acts of mercy or charity, highlighting its deep-rooted relationship with generosity and selflessness. Contrary to popular belief, justice cannot be achieved solely through government policies or appeals to our sense of duty; it requires a transformation of the human heart. We examine the doctrine of justification and its vital role in enabling us to pursue justice with genuine compassion and righteousness. Join us as we uncover the powerful link between justification and justice, and how understanding one can lead to a deeper commitment to the other.
