"What the Lord Requires" | April 6, 2025

Follow Along with the Message

Scripture Focus: Micah 6:8
"What does the Lord require of you but to do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with your God?"

Key Ideas:

• Confirmation is not an ending, but a beginning of a lifelong journey of faith.

• Liminal spaces are moments when heaven and earth meet—Jesus is the ultimate liminal space.

• The Church is called to be that liminal space in the world by how we live and love.

What God Requires of Us:

1. Do Justice

   • Justice is what love looks like in public.

   • It’s about living in a way that prioritizes the well-being of others—especially the vulnerable.

   • Ask: What’s best for my neighbor?

2. Love Kindness

   • Not just niceness, but deep compassion and mercy, like the kindness God shows us.

   • Reflect God's love through our words, actions, and relationships.

3. Walk Humbly with God

   • Humility isn’t thinking less of yourself—it’s thinking of yourself less.

   • Live in daily dependence on God's grace.

Reflect & Respond:

• Where do you see a gap between your Sunday faith and your weekday life?

• How might you become a glimpse of heaven for someone else this week?

• What does doing justice look like in your school, job, or neighborhood?

Prayer:

“God, help me to be your hands and feet in the world. Teach me to seek justice, to love with kindness, and to walk each day in humility with You. Amen.”
