Be The One: Righteous Living And Intercession Amongst Wickedness
Send us a text
Today, I deliver the first sermon of 2026 through the Radiating Faith ministry series, titled Be The One. This message is rooted in a simple but confronting biblical pattern: God repeatedly searches for just one righteous person among overwhelming wickedness. I open by grounding this sermon in Jeremiah 5, where God declares that if even one honest, truth-seeking individual can be found, the entire city will be spared. This passage sets the foundation for understanding both the depth of humanity’s rebellion and the breadth of God’s mercy.
I then connect this pattern back to Genesis 18, where Abraham intercedes for Sodom and pleads with God to spare the city for the sake of the righteous. As the numbers are reduced from fifty down to ten, the contrast becomes clear—human corruption increases while God’s mercy remains steadfast. In Jeremiah, however, the indictment is even more severe: not even one righteous person can be found, including among the leaders who were expected to uphold God’s law. This failure of leadership mirrors many modern communities, churches, and institutions today.
From there, I walk through additional biblical examples that reinforce the call to be the one—Noah finding favor in a corrupt world, Job standing blameless before God, Daniel remaining faithful under cultural pressure, and God’s lament in Ezekiel that no one could be found to stand in the gap. These accounts reveal that righteousness is not passive; it requires resolve, separation from corruption, and a willingness to intercede on behalf of others.
I conclude by challenging listeners to examine their own communities, families, habits, and compromises. Being the one means refusing conformity, breaking generational patterns, and living in a way that invites God’s mercy and blessing—not only for yourself, but for those around you. This sermon is a call to personal responsibility, spiritual courage, and daily obedience, reminding us that transformation does not begin with crowds or leaders—it begins with one.
