Silence & Shouting

Don explores the tension between righteousness and mercy through the story of Jesus and Zacchaeus. When Jesus extends mercy to a wealthy tax collector who profited from oppression, the crowd grumbles-they wanted judgment, not relationship. This sermon examines how we navigate similar tensions today: calling out injustice while believing transformation is possible, finding purpose in our rage while extending radical mercy, and discovering that justice emerges not despite mercy, but because of it. Watch as we discover that mercy isn't a compromise of justice — it's the pathway to it.

Jesus was operating at a time when being disabled meant being poor, unemployed, and excluded from mainstream society. What if Jesus didn’t pity this mans differently abled status, but he pitied the way society excluded and looked down upon him?
