Where is the Justice? | Mark 6:14-29
God has called us to be truth-tellers in a world of lies, and that is not always received well. The truth is often met with resistance, anger, and sometimes even retaliation. So what do we do?

Where is the justice? Today Pastor Robin explores the grim reality of God’s justice compared to our human understanding of justice. And yet, in that contrast, we discover the surprising freedom that comes from choosing God’s justice instead of our own.
