Our world is overrun with an infectious, sinful disease called pride. The Bible has much to say about pride, but we have gotten so used to seeing it we often fail to recognize it. In this sermon Brother Luke preaches about what pride really looks like, to better help us identify it. This is important for us because it is …

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.
In our “Justice” sermon series this week, Sr. Pastor Kenton Boone walks us through the third portion of Micah 6:8 – to walk humbly.
“Do Justice, Love Mercy, Walk Humbly with God” Key scripture is from Micah, Isaiah & Amos. The teacher today is Lane. Bonus: Today we honored the start of Pastor Lane's and his family's much overdue Sabbatical.

Susan was once asked, "If you have to choose a scripture that captures your 'worldview,' what would it be?"After a moment of thinking, she came back with Micah 6:8, a verse that has been on one of her handy scripture notecards for as long as she could remember.To finish out our "The Word Speaks" series, Susan talks about what it means to follow the steps laid out in Micah 6:8 - with some help from Brook Smith.For more information on SOZO House, click here: SOZO House - Rest. Heal. Renew.If you are interested in the hermeneutics (the in-depth interpretation) of Micah 6:8 that Brook read on this episode, we've posted it below for you!via CHATGptExcellent question! Let's take a close hermeneutical look at Micah 6:8, especially the word translated mercy or kindness.⸻ The Verse (NIV)“He has shown you, O mortal, what is good.And what does the Lord require of you?To act justly and to love mercyand to walk humbly with your God.”⸻ Key Hebrew WordThe word translated “mercy” or “kindness” in this verse is חֶסֶד (ḥesed). • Root meaning: It doesn't translate neatly into one English word. It's a rich Hebrew concept encompassing steadfast love, covenant faithfulness, loyalty, mercy, loving-kindness, goodness. • Some translations use kindness (ESV, NASB), others mercy (KJV, NIV), and still others steadfast love (ESV footnote, RSV).⸻ Hermeneutical Layers 1. Lexical Analysis • ḥesed implies not just a feeling of kindness but a covenant-committed love. • It is often used to describe God's faithful love toward Israel (e.g., Exodus 34:6–7, Psalm 136). 2. Contextual Analysis • Micah contrasts outward ritual sacrifices (vv. 6–7) with the inward life God desires. • Instead of “buying off” God with burnt offerings, He requires His people to live out justice (mishpat), mercy (ḥesed), and humility (ṣanaʿ). • Here, ḥesed is about faithful, relational love toward others, reflecting God's own covenant love. 3. Theological Analysis • This isn't just about doing kind deeds; it's about embodying God's steadfast mercy in relationships. • It emphasizes ethical living flowing from covenant identity: God has shown mercy → His people must live mercifully.⸻ SummaryIn Micah 6:8, the word “mercy/kindness” (ḥesed) is best understood as:“Faithful, covenantal love expressed through compassionate action toward others, reflecting God's own loyal love.”So it's not only “be nice” or “show pity,” but live with steadfast loyalty, mercy, and loving-kindness as a way of life.
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 […]

We finish our Living the Covenant series with a message entitled “Do Justice, Love Kindness, Walk Humbly.” These familiar words from Micah 6:8 capture the heart of what covenant living should look like. But when we hold them alongside the piercing honesty of Amos 5 and Isaiah 6, we're reminded just how often we fall short, and just how deeply God desires something more.
Act Justly, Love Mercy, Walk Humbly by Mission Ebenezer Family Church
*Some Additional things God requires of us*# 1. *Act Justly**Micah 6:8* – *“He has shown you, O man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly…”*Justice isn't just a courtroom word—it's a lifestyle. God calls us to fairness, honesty, and standing up for the oppressed. Think of *Joseph*, who, though wronged by his brothers and imprisoned unjustly, chose integrity over revenge when he rose to power in Egypt.---#2. *Love Mercy**Micah 6:8* (continued) – *“…to love mercy…”*Mercy is love in action. Jesus showed this when He forgave the woman caught in adultery (John 8:1–11), reminding us that compassion triumphs over condemnation. We're called to extend grace, even when it's undeserved.---# 3. *Walk Humbly with God**Micah 6:8* (continued) – *“…and to walk humbly with your God.”*Humility is recognizing that we need God every step of the way. *Moses*, though a great leader, was called the most humble man on earth (Numbers 12:3). He leaned on God's presence, not his own strength.---# 4. *Love God Wholeheartedly***Matthew 22:37* – *“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.”*This is the heartbeat of faith. *David*, a man after God's own heart, danced before the Lord with abandon (2 Samuel 6:14). Loving God means putting Him first—in worship, in decisions, in dreams.---# 5. *Love Your Neighbor**Matthew 22:39* – *“Love your neighbor as yourself.”*This love is practical—feeding the hungry, forgiving offenses, and building bridges. The *Good Samaritan* (Luke 10:25–37) didn't just feel compassion—he acted on it. That's the kind of love God desires.---# 6. *Obey His Commands**John 14:15* – *“If you love Me, keep My commandments.”*Obedience isn't about rules—it's about relationship. *Noah* built an ark when it had never rained. His obedience saved generations. When we trust God enough to obey, we step into His promises.---# 7. *Live by Faith**Hebrews 11:6* – *“Without faith it is impossible to please God…”*Faith is the fuel of the Christian life. *Abraham* left everything familiar, trusting God's promise. Faith means believing even when we can't see the outcome—and that pleases God deeply.---These are not just divine checklists—they're invitations to a deeper, richer walk with God. When we live justly, love deeply, and walk humbly, we reflect the very heart of our Creator.Pst Leke Toba.
On this Juneteenth celebration weekend, we reflect on Micah 6:6-8 and its call for justice, mercy, and humility before God. We examine the persistent issue of social injustice and the delusion of self-righteousness, emphasizing the need for repentance and reliance on God's grace. Through the lens of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s teachings, we are reminded of the transformative power of love and the Christian duty to uplift the marginalized of society.How can we pray for you? tinyurl.com/stmarcusprayersFill out our online connection card: tinyurl.com/stmarcusconnectcardIf you'd like to leave an offering or monetary donation to our ministry please click here: https://tinyurl.com/stmarcusgive

Scripture Focus: Micah 6:8"What does the Lord require of you but to do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with your God?"
Ever look around and wonder—why do wicked people seem to get away with everything? Welcome to The Daily, where we go through the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every single day. Today, we're looking at Ecclesiastes 8:10-13: Then I saw the wicked buried. They used to go in and out of the holy place and were praised in the city where they had done such things. This also is vanity. Because the sentence against an evil deed is not executed speedily, the heart of the children of man is fully set to do evil. Though a sinner does evil a hundred times and prolongs his life, yet I know that it will be well with those who fear God, because they fear before him. But it will not be well with the wicked, neither will he prolong his days like a shadow, because he does not fear before God. — Ecclesiastes 8:10-13 Why does injustice seem to thrive? Because judgment doesn't come instantly. When consequences are delayed, people double down on sin. They assume there's no reckoning. But here's the truth—just because judgment is slow doesn't mean it's not coming. Solomon lays it out. The wicked might stretch their days, but their success is a fading shadow. Their time runs out. But those who fear God? In the end—it will be well with them. So what do we do? Stop obsessing over the wicked—it's fool's gold. Their wins are short-lived. Their legacy? Dust. Instead, lock your eyes on God. Fear Him. Obey Him. Stay steady. God's justice isn't on our clock, but it's never off schedule. Your job? Walk in righteousness. Trust His timing. Because in the end, it won't just be okay—it'll be well with you. #GodsJustice, #TrustHisTiming, #FearTheLord ASK THIS: How do you respond when it seems like injustice goes unpunished? What does it mean to truly fear God in your daily life? How can you trust God's timing when evil appears to thrive? Where do you need to shift your focus from frustration to faith? DO THIS: Fix your focus on fearing God and obeying Him rather than obsessing over the temporary success of the wicked. PRAY THIS: Lord, help me to trust in Your perfect justice and not be discouraged by the temporary success of the wicked. Keep my heart steady in obedience, knowing that in the end, it will be well with those who fear You. Amen. PLAY THIS: Act Justly, Love Mercy, Walk Humbly.

”He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?” Micah 6:8
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.

Injustice is everywhere. You see it in corrupt leaders who abuse power, in workplaces where favoritism tramples fairness, and in courtrooms where wealth can buy a better verdict. From ancient times to today, oppression has been part of life “under the sun.” Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived, looked at it all and felt the crushing weight of its burden. Welcome to The Daily, where we engage with God's Word—verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every single day. Our text today is Ecclesiastes 4:1-3. Again I saw all the oppressions that are done under the sun. And behold, the tears of the oppressed, and they had no one to comfort them! On the side of their oppressors there was power, and there was no one to comfort them. And I thought the dead who are already dead more fortunate than the living who are still alive. But better than both is he who has not yet been and has not seen the evil deeds that are done under the sun. — Ecclesiastes 4:1-3 Solomon saw what we still see today—some suffer while others prosper through cruelty. The powerful exploit the weak, and often, no one stands in the gap. The weight of this reality led Solomon to a startling conclusion: the dead are more fortunate than the living, and even more fortunate are those who've never witnessed such evil. That's raw, unfiltered honesty from a man who had seen it all. But here's the hard truth—we're not just victims of injustice; we're part of the problem. Maybe you've turned a blind eye to someone in need. Maybe you've benefited from an unfair situation. Maybe you've judged someone without knowing their story. Injustice isn't just "out there"—it's in us. This broken world stirs in us a longing for something better—perfect justice, the kind only God can bring. We cry out for fairness because we're made in the image of a just God. That longing? It's proof that we need Him. So instead of just lamenting injustice, ask God to show you where you can live with greater integrity. Stand for truth. Act with fairness. Seek His justice in your own life first. And trust that one day, God will set everything right. #JusticeMatters, #BiblicalTruth, #LiveWithIntegrity ASK THIS: Where have you turned a blind eye to injustice? How have you unknowingly benefited from unfair situations? What does your longing for justice reveal about your heart? How can you stand for truth and fairness today? DO THIS: Reflect on one area in your life where you've ignored injustice—then take one action to make it right. PRAY THIS: God, open my eyes to injustice within and around me. Give me courage to act with integrity and reflect Your perfect justice. Amen. PLAY THIS: Act Justly, Love Mercy, Walk Humbly.

By Edward Dowd - Many of us take physical mobility for granted. But from a spiritual perspective, what does it mean to walk? Is "simple" obedience all that God is looking for? Or does God expect something more from our spiritual mobility efforts?

Pastor: Rev. Erin Sloan Jackson Scripture: Micah 6:6-8 CEB What does the Lord require? 6 With what should I approach the Lord and bow down before God on high? Should I come before him with entirely burned offerings, with year-old calves? 7 Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, with many torrents of oil? Should I give my oldest child for my crime; the fruit of my body for the sin of my spirit? 8 He has told you, human one, what is good and what the Lord requires from you: to do justice, embrace faithful love, and walk humbly with your God.
