0:00 Welcome and introduction 2:34 Why justice language stands out 4:05 The call to fight for the weak 5:01 Defending the poor and needy 12:30 Who Scripture tells us to notice 15:12 Reading the Bible with God's heart 19:00 The fatherless, widow, and immigrant 22:35 Psalm 82 and unjust leaders 24:31 When weakness becomes personal 33:31 A world that overlooks the vulnerable 37:01 Jeremiah 22 and knowing God What does it mean to fight for the weak in a way that reflects the heart of God? In this message from Champion Forest's Fight series, Mark Lanier walks through Matthew 25 and the whole witness of Scripture to show that caring for the vulnerable is not a side issue in the Christian life. From the fatherless and widow to the poor, the outsider, and the oppressed, we are reminded that God's people are called to see, defend, and love those the world is quick to overlook. This message is both convicting and deeply practical. As we remember how Jesus welcomed us when we were broken, far off, and in need of grace, we are called to do the same for others and live out a faith that is visible in mercy, justice, and compassion.
