Worship Without Justice Isn't Worship | Jeremiah 7 1-11 - Clint Leavitt

What do we do when things fall apart? The way we answer this question shows us the truth of who we are. We all look great when things are comfortable. It’s in the times of challenge, when the building is burning down around us, when all that we’ve held onto dissolves in our arms, that our true allegiance, our true character, our true identity get revealed. Listen as Pastor Clint explores Jeremiah's famous sermon outside the temple gate - as it turns out, true worship of God isn't simply about the words we say in holy spaces, but the lives we live outside of them. Worship without justice isn't worship. Sermon Resources: 1.

"I hate, I despise your festivals, and I take no delight in your solemn assemblies. Even though you offer me your burnt offerings and grain offerings, I will not accept them, and the offerings of well-being of your fatted animals I will not look upon. Take away from me the noise of your songs; I will not listen to the melody of your harps. But let justice roll down like water and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream." -Amos 5:21-24 4. “Whoever says, ‘I abide in Him,’ ought to walk as He walked.” -1 John 2:6 Join or follow us below: Facebook: www.facebook.com/midtownpreschurch Instagram: www.instagram.com/midtown.pres/ Website: www.midtownpres.org/ Community Groups: www.midtownpres.org/community-groups Sunday Services: www.midtownpres.org/
