Sermon Title: Let Justice Roll
Scripture: Micah 6:8; Luke 14:12-14

What is justice? Depending on the context and culture, different people will have different ideas about what justice looks like so it’s hard sometimes to nail down a definition that works for everyone.

That dilemma leads to a possibility of 3 responses:

1. Compartmentalization.
2. Performance.
3. Dismissive.

HOW JUSTICE IS PRESENTED IN SCRIPTURE
I. Justice is not just an idea or ideal, it’s in the very character and heart of God himself. (Psalm 146:7-9)

II. God always has special concern for the poor and the vulnerable. (Deuteronomy 15:4-5)

God’s concern for the poor and vulnerable are built into his laws:

1. Law of Release
2. Law of Gleaning
3. Law of Tithing
4. Law of Jubilee

III. A biblical paradigm for justice:

• Every human being is made in the image of God
• Understand God’s grace and responding in grace
