<p>In this message from Deuteronomy 16–17, Pastor Jason Nix explores how God forms His people through remembrance, justice, accountability, and spiritual community. Israel’s festivals were designed to keep God’s faithfulness at the center of their shared life, while the appointment of judges and leaders provided structure for pursuing justice without partiality or corruption. </p><p>These principles continue into the New Testament: accusations must be established by multiple witnesses, leaders must remain accountable, and believers are called to reject gossip, favoritism, and hidden division. Godly justice is practiced openly, honestly, and within community—not through anonymous complaints or private bitterness. </p><p>In an age of unlimited access to online preachers, teachers, and Christian content, this sermon challenges us to reconsider who we allow to shape our faith. Christian authority is not built merely on popularity, influence, or accessibility. It is rooted in proximity, relationship, accountability, and participation in the local church God has placed around us.</p><p>For more information visit RGMCA.ORG</p>
