About This Sermon
Jarrett Stephens teaches from Matthew 25 about fighting for the least as a non-negotiable part of following Jesus. He shows that caring for the poor, the sick, the imprisoned, and the overlooked is not extra credit for committed Christians. It is woven into what real faith looks like.
The message reminds us that we were once spiritually poor and far from God, brought near only by grace. Because of that, we are called to move past sympathy into action, living with open eyes and open hands for people the world tends to ignore.
Scripture: Matthew 25
