In this past Sunday's sermon, Rev. Jake Medcalf shared the concept of the 'righteous,' or 'Sadaqah,' calls for believers to actively work towards justice and shalom in their communities. He emphasized the need for Christians to leverage their prosperity, influence, and resources for the common good and to bring a foretaste of God's Kingdom to earth. Through biblical references, statistics on local and global injustices, and personal reflections, Jake urges us to be brave, humble, and formed by the Holy Spirit, challenging us to become an expansive, energetic force that tackles societal issues like homelessness, foster care, and inequality. Jake concluded with a call to action for our SPC community to steward our blessings selflessly and to live out this mission together.
