Disruptive Discipleship // A Compelling Community of Kingdom Righteousness | Pastor Jordan Smucker | 03.13.22
The kingdom of God comes to those who hunger and thirst for Biblical righteousness, which embodies both the private and the public, both righteousness in you and justice pursued by you. This vision of righteousness brings about the healing and renewal we so desperately need. We see examples of this righteousness in Amos 2:7, where Amos speaks out against sexual immorality AND oppression, and in James 1:26-27, where James calls for disciples to look after orphans and widows in distress AND to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. As followers of Jesus in this moment in history, we are constantly tempted to satiate our appetites at the cultural table rather than develop a single all-consuming starvation for the righteousness of God. However, God promises that those who truly hunger and thirst will be filled, wanting nothing more.
“Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you.”
-James 1:27 (NLT)-
