A God of Justice | Josh Sperry | Life Center Tacoma
David was ANOINTED long before he was APPOINTED. God was shaping him in private before using him in public.
Justice: Making things right according to God's character and design.
Injustice: The abuse of power, the neglect of the vulnerable, or the failure to act when wrong is done.
Psalms 89:11-14 (NIV)
1 Samuel 17:26 (NLT)
Justice begins with seeing clearly
David sees what others can't or won't, the vulnerable and the hurting

What cause is the Lord calling you to stand for?
Justice is rooted in God's character, not human strength
1 Samuel 17:32-37 (NIV)
Justice doesn't come from having power - it comes from knowing the God who defends the powerless.
Injustice, by contrast, is always about power misused.
Justice confronts evil courageously
1 Samuel 17:45-50 (NIV)
Justice happens when ordinary people walk into hard places because they know God walks with them.
Justice brings freedom and writes a larger story
What is your cause? Are you willing?
What are Goliath is standing in your way today?
Are you willing to see what others are not?
What is my something?
How can you trust in God's character over your own strength?
