Justice & Right Relationships

SPEAKER: Josh Taylor

PASSAGE: Matthew 5:6; Micah 6:8

What does it mean to “hunger and thirst for righteousness”? In this message, we discover that Jesus isn’t talking about a checklist of personal morality. He’s describing a deep craving for right relationships with God, with others, and with the world around us. Righteousness in the Bible isn’t just private holiness—it’s about fairness, equity, and justice in every relationship we have. Jesus lived the only truly righteous life, set things right for us through His cross, and now sends us to live out His righteousness in our homes, neighborhoods, and city. We’ll explore: how Jesus embodies justice and right relationships; why we still hunger and thirst for “rightness” in our world; and three practical ways to “do justice” where we live. If you’ve ever felt disillusioned by broken systems, unfair treatment, or strained relationships, this teaching is for you. Jesus promises that those who long for things to be set right will be filled.
