Compassion, Remembrance and Justice
from Remembrance on SermonAudio Hosted by Paul Gordon
This sermon explores the social and spiritual obligations of the covenant people as outlined in Deuteronomy 15 through 17, emphasizing themes of compassion, remembrance, and justice. The central message highlights the command to release debtors and slaves, illustrating a theology of stewardship where God's blessings are meant for the care of the needy rather than personal exploitation. The discussion connects these Old Testament laws to the New Testament church's responsibility to practice open-handed generosity and maintain purity through discipline. Furthermore, the sermon examines the role of appointed judges and kings, arguing that righteous governance requires a commitment to God's law and a rejection of corruption, ultimately pointing to Jesus Christ as the perfect King who rules with humility and service.
