Righteousness, Kindness and Humility - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 27, 2014
The sermon emphasizes that true righteousness, kindness, and humility, as required by God, must be internal rather than merely outward performance for human approval. The speaker draws from Micah 6:8, contrasting the outward focus of the Old Covenant with the inward reality of the New Covenant. He warns that seeking righteousness before men is a subtle form of idolatry, and true discipleship requires a concern only for what God thinks, not what people think.
