"And what is it that the Lord requires of you, but to do justly, LOVE MERCY, and walk humbly with your God.: Micah 6:8
The Lesson: Romans 5:1-11Sermon: “Wesley's Message for Today: Love, Mercy and Grace”Preaching: Josh Miles, associate minister The post 08.09.26 | Wesley's Message for Today: Love, Mercy and Grace appeared first on Peachtree Road United Methodist Church.
Gospel Reading: Matthew 14:22-34At that time, Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowds. And after he had dismissed the crowds, he went up into the hills by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone, but the boat by this time was many furlongs distant from the land, beaten by the waves; for the wind was against them. And in the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea. But when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were terrified, saying, "It is a ghost!" And they cried out for fear. But immediately he spoke to them, saying "Take heart, it is I; have no fear." And Peter answered him, "Lord, if it is you, bid me come to you on the water." He said, "Come." So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water and came to Jesus; but when he saw the wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, "Lord, save me." Jesus immediately reached out his hand and caught him, saying to him, "O man of little faith, why did you doubt?" And when they entered the boat, the wind ceased. And those in the boat worshiped him, saying, "Truly you are the Son of God." And when they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret.
From “In the Beginning” to Amen –What Does God Really Want of Me? Micah 6:6-8 (NLT)“What can we bring to the LORD? Should we bring him burnt offerings? Should we bow before God Most High with offerings of yearling calves? Should we offer him thousands of rams and ten thousand rivers of olive oil? Should we sacrifice our firstborn children to pay for our sins? No, O people, the LORD has told you what is good, and this is what he requires of you: to do what is right, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.” Micah 6:1-5 (NLT)“Listen to what the LORD is saying: ‘Stand up and state your case against me. Let the mountains and hills be called to witness your complaints. And now, O mountains, listen to the LORD 's complaint! He has a case against his people. He will bring charges against Israel. O my people, what have I done to you? What have I done to make you tired of me? Answer me! For I brought you out of Egypt and redeemed you from slavery. I sent Moses, Aaron, and Miriam to help you. Don't you remember, my people, how King Balak of Moab tried to have you cursed and how Balaam son of Beor blessed you instead? And remember your journey from Acacia Grove to Gilgal, when I, the LORD, did everything I could to teach you about my faithfulness.'” God Doesn't Want Empty Religion 1 Samuel 15:22 (NASB)Samuel tells Saul: "To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed than the fat of rams." Hosea 6:6 (NKJV)“I desire mercy, and not sacrifice, and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings." Amos 5:21-24 (NIV)“I hate your festivals…I will not accept your offerings…Instead, let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream." Isaiah 1:11-17 (NLT)“God says, ‘I am tired of your offerings. When you come to worship me, who asked you to parade through my courts with all your ceremony? Stop bringing me your meaningless gifts; the incense of your offerings disgusts me! As for your celebrations of the new moon and the Sabbath and your special days for fasting— they are all sinful and false. I want no more of your pious meetings. I hate your new moon celebrations and your annual festivals. They are a burden to me. I cannot stand them! Wash yourselves and be clean! Get your sins out of my sight. Give up your evil ways. Learn to do good. Seek justice. Help the oppressed. Defend the cause of orphans. Fight for the rights of widows.'" Obedience Has Always Mattered More Than Ceremony God Has Told Us What He Wants (Micah 6:8) Do Justly or Do Justice Love Mercy Matthew 18:33 (NLT)“Shouldn't you have mercy on your fellow servant, just as I had mercy on you?” Walk Humbly with God Do Justice. Love Mercy. Walk Humbly with God. The Gospel Isn't "Try Harder”, It's "Trust Christ.” God Isn't Interested in or Impressed by Religious Activity That Leaves Our Character Unchanged

John 10:25-37 | Keaton Daniel
It is week 6 of our Live In Love sermon series, as Luke Parker asks us how much we love Mercy. This morning, Luke 7:31-50 confronts us with an uncomfortable truth: we are all masters at rigging the game of righteousness in our favor. Through the vivid story of a woman known as a sinner anointing Jesus at a Pharisee's dinner party, we discover that our scorekeeping mentality prevents us from experiencing true mercy. The message challenges our tendency to judge others while justifying ourselves, whether we lean toward religious conservatism or progressive inclusivity. We see how Simon the Pharisee treated Jesus as important but not most important, staffing out hospitality rather than offering it personally. In contrast, the woman brought everything she had, using her own hair and expensive perfume to honor Christ. The central revelation is staggering: God forgave us long before we ever asked, and those who recognize how much they've been forgiven love most deeply. This isn't about earning mercy through good works or maintaining a spiritual scorecard. It's about drawing close to the Son of righteousness and being radiated with His warmth and light until mercy flows naturally from our lives. The story of Saint Pelagia reminds us that no one is beyond the transforming power of encountering someone who truly loves mercy.
Summer is the season we're most tempted to make everything about us. Our plans. Our rest. Our best life. But what if God had something better in mind?In this stand-alone message, Pastor Woody Morwood opens Micah 6:8 — one of the most quoted verses in all of Scripture — and asks a harder question: are we actually living it, or just knowing it?"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 with your God." — Micah 6:8Three actions covered:Act justly — Justice isn't a political slogan. It's an everyday action. How you treat the people around you — those who work for you, alongside you, and beneath you — is where justice starts.Love mercy — The Hebrew word hesed goes deeper than random kindness. It's a covenant loyalty, a steadfast love that creates new beginnings for the people in your life.Walk humbly with God — C.S. Lewis said humility isn't thinking less of yourself. It's thinking of yourself less. This summer, what would it look like to take God seriously instead?Scripture referencesMicah 6:6–9 · Philippians 2:3–8 · Romans 12:3 · John 13:34 · Galatians 5:13 · Hebrews 10:24 · James 5:16#Micah6:8 #ActJustly #LoveMercy #WalkHumbly #ChristianLiving #MinorProphets #FaithAndLife #DiscipleshipFor the full gathering of this message which includes worship, visit our Youtube channel.

Micah 6:1-8 | Josh Miller
Have you ever had that sinking feeling that you've forgotten something important? In this message from Matthew 25, we explore various parable of Jesus and discover what it really means to be ready for His return. This isn't just about believing the right things - it's about living them out in practical, everyday ways. You'll be challenged to see how mercy, justice, and love for 'the least of these' isn't optional for followers of Jesus, but central to who we're called to be. Whether you're serving those in need already or wondering how God wants to use your unique gifts and circumstances, this message will inspire you to take your next step in following Jesus wholeheartedly.
Justice confronts wrongdoing, but mercy restores people. Mercy is choosing compassion when punishment would be easier.

Gospel Reading: Matthew 28:1-10
By Matthew Curry - In this second sermon covering Micah 6:8, we are instructed to 'love mercy'. We take a look at examples of the mercy given by God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior and what it means to be merciful as well as love it.
After we begin shedding the victim identity, we need something to put in its place. Micah 6:8 provides a great starting place, three standards that will guide us in any situation. Justice, mercy, and humility are not hard to understand, but very challenging to follow.

What if God's mercy is more active and tangible than you've ever imagined? You'll discover how God's character holds justice and mercy together in perfect harmony, and why His standard remains unshakable even as His mercy rises to meet our rebellion. Through the story of Moses and the golden calf, you'll see that mercy isn't passive—it's hesed, a loyal covenant love that keeps showing up even when we don't deserve it. You can expect to be challenged to move beyond knowing about God's mercy to actively participating in it through practical acts of compassion toward those society overlooks.Passages in this message:Exodus 34:1-9Subscribe to stay updated with the latest content from The Story!TAKE YOUR NEXT STEP HERE:Thestorygr.com/connectJOIN US IN PERSON:The Story Church475 6 Mile Road NW, Comstock Park, MI 49321You can support the ministry happening at The Story at thestorygr.com/give#thestorychurch #comstockparkmi

What comes to mind when you see someone facing financial problems? Do you ever think they should have planned better or worked harder? Do you ever feel like someone should not be as lazy to be hungry and should get a job? What if someone has nowhere to sleep for the night? Did you ever think they made too many bad choices and should have done better?It sometimes might be challenging to go out of our way and help those in need even though they deserve it or not! Isn't it interesting that we, as God's children, have a special term for this? Mercy! Embracing mercy does not signify weakness. While the mindset of showing mercy may not be common in every situation, our God wants us to live a special life and make it count by showing kindness to others.Having mercy is not a sign of weakness; it is, in fact, a strength and a source of fulfillment. But how do we know how far we can extend our mercy to others? From simple acts of kindness to going above and beyond, what does the Bible say about mercy?Join us as we continue our series filled with fulfillment, A Worthy Pursuit. Let us come together to understand how our acts of kindness can create meaningful differences in a world where judgments are often made too quickly. Let us together grow in faith by discovering where true joy and fulfillment lie, becoming a blessing to our loved ones and to others around us!✅ Check in to let us support you in your journey.

In Micah the sixth chapter we read that God’s people are required to love mercy. Do we love mercy? We sure love to receive it, but do we love to give it? In this sermon Brother Luke looks at the life of Joseph to show a powerful example of what loving mercy looks like. 11.09.25.Love.Mercy.Luke.Hagler
This weekend, Tyler continued the Bible Study series by teaching through the book of Micah, a prophet who confronts Israel's long history of idolatry and injustice while also pointing forward to the hope of Christmas. One of the central passages he addressed was Micah 6:8, a verse many people view as inspirational—yet in its original context, it is actually a rebuke. Micah 6:8 reveals God's standard for His people: Act Justly — live with integrity, righteousness, and fairness toward others. Love Mercy — show compassion and steadfast love, especially toward the vulnerable. Walk Humbly with God — reject pride, and live in dependence on God rather than self. However, Tyler emphasized that Micah 6:8 ultimately exposes our inability to meet this standard on our own. Like Israel, we repeatedly fall short—no matter how disciplined, sincere, or well-intentioned we may be. This is why Micah points us beyond human effort to the coming King, the one born in Bethlehem, whose strength is divine and whose leadership is perfect. No matter how hard we try, our efforts alone can't reach God's summit. We need a Savior who not only shows the way but becomes the way—lifting us, forgiving us, and leading us into the life Micah describes.
Religious people with wealth and power have often fallen into the trap of believing they could exploit the poor and vulnerable for their own profit, while keeping God happy through religious rituals. This was the situation during the days of Micah. The people of Israel were warned to repent and told that God was coming […]
By Elias Vazquez - This sermonette delivered after the Feast of Tabernacles reflects on how the spiritual renewal and inspiration experienced during the Feast should be carried into daily life. It should encourage believers and fuel their mission and purpose. The message focuses on Micah 6:8 as a Blueprint and the
Micah 6:8 "what does the Lord require you, O man, but to "Do Justice, Love Mercy, and walk humbly before your God" We are called to do justice, love mercy, and to walk humbly - but we need to understand what that looks like from a biblical perspective to walk it out well. Often times we are afraid to be vulnerable with others and ask questions, or we punish others for their vulnerability. We need to be the "hands and feet" of Jesus to a world that is divided and hurting.
Eloise grew up in a family of runners and, while watching the Olympics at the age of 10, set the goal to become an Olympian.By 16, she had qualified for her first Olympics; the Sydney Olympic Games in 2000.But sadly, Eloise's early career was beset by injuries.As one article I read so painfully wrote, ‘it would be 12 years, 11 stress fractures and 3 failed attempts later' before she finally made her Olympic debut at the London Olympic Games in 2012.Eloise and I recorded this conversation in midst of the Covid-19 crisis and so that's where we start our conversation today - with how she's navigated the impact of it with two small children at home and how it's affected her training and her attempts to qualify for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics (now being held in 2021).Eloise is also the co-founder of an extraordinary organisation called the Love Mercy Foundation which she co-founded with Ugandan Olympian and former child soldier, Julius Achon that works to empower communities in Northern Uganda to overcome poverty caused by the horrors of war.Eloise shares how you can help to support the work of Love Mercy by participating in their virtual “Mother Run” which is on this month (May, 2020).

Mike Williams addresses the perception that contemporary church practices have become inward-focused, missing their broader societal impact. He discusses the concerns of young Christians who find traditional churches irrelevant and instead pursue non-profit initiatives to address human suffering. The speaker draws on historical examples and biblical teachings to stress the need for a modern restoration of the church's commitment to love, mercy, and compassion, akin to the early Christian community's transformative influence on Roman society. Emphasizing an apostolic response over antagonism or apathy, the call is for the church to engage actively in redemptive work, thereby reclaiming its relevance and effectively spreading the teachings of Jesus.
On this episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, we're addressing the troubling reality of the Epstein list and Donald Trump's failure to bring it to light, holding it up to the standard of biblical justice.
