This sermon highlights the importance of integrating acts of justice, mercy, and humility into our daily lives, not just as occasional deeds or church-organized events. Drawing from Micah 6:8, Jake emphasizes the call for believers to "act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with God" as a reflection of Jesus' life and teachings. The church's local outreach efforts, like Heart of the City, serve as a practical example of how to live out these values, with a focus on building relationships and genuinely caring for people from all walks of life, including the homeless and low-income families. Jake encourages the congregation to participate in acts of service that align with this scriptural mandate—through volunteering, joining events like Gear Up for School, and loving others unconditionally as modelled by Christ.

We are called to participate in God's work because it is His heart, we are called to it, it transforms us, and we carry the solution.

Martin Luther once said, "I have so much to do that I shall spend the first three hours in prayer." Prayer is an essential part of our life. Never be too blessed or successful to forget to pray. Prayer is the source of our strength and safeguard, acquiring and sustaining blessings. Make prayer a habit.

Our Heavenly Father wants to speak identity over us.
