Lift Up Your Head: The Radical Requirement of Mercy

We often focus on the first pillar of Micah 6:8—Doing Justice. We talk about setting the world right and putting skin in the game. But as Pastor Tabatha reminds us this week, the prophet Micah didn’t stop there.

Two-thirds of God’s instruction remains: To Love Mercy and to Walk Humbly.

In this message, we explore the difference between simply being kind and actually loving mercy. Through a powerful story about Bishop Julius Trimble and a “pastoral confession” about left-lane drivers, we are reminded that every person we meet is a child of the Most High God—whether we like them or not.

Key Takeaways from the Message:
The Image of God: You will never meet someone who is not made in the image of God. How would our world change if we treated everyone accordingly?

Identity over Discouragement: “Lift up your head, for you are a child of the most high God.”

Ethical Relationships: Authentic faith requires us to show the same mercy and kindness that we are shown by God.
