This sermon reflects on Micah 6 and the call to do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with God. It argues that justice without mercy becomes distorted, mercy without justice excuses harm, and both fail without humility. True humility requires listening, relinquishing power, and standing alongside those who suffer. Following Jesus means laying down ego, privilege, and certainty in order to see the world through others’ experiences. The invitation for the week is simple but demanding: listen to real people, especially those whose voices are often ignored, and allow that listening to shape how we pursue justice, mercy, and faithfulness in the world.
