(Extra)Ordinary: Acts of Mercy | Rev. Jarboe

Summary

The sermon emphasizes that true fasting, as described in Isaiah 58, involves actively working for justice, freeing the oppressed, and caring for the needy. It's not just religious observance, but tangible action to alleviate suffering. The takeaway is that by "spending yourselves on behalf of the hungry" and satisfying the needs of the oppressed, one's light will shine and God will readily answer their calls.
