In a culture obsessed with payback, Romans 12:19 reminds us: “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” Pastor Marben Bland explores how God’s justice is measured, holy, and sure, unlike our human impulses toward revenge.

Drawing inspiration from James Brown’s “The Big Payback,” current political cycles, and biblical examples, this sermon urges us to trust God’s justice and resist the world’s patterns of grievance.

Main Points:
1️⃣ Retribution belongs to God — not us (Romans 12:19; Deuteronomy 32:35).
2️⃣ Transformation through renewing the mind (Romans 12:1–2) breaks strongholds of bitterness.
3️⃣ Resistance over retribution — God calls His people to stand with the oppressed and act righteously.
4️⃣ True freedom comes through atonement and reconciliation, not revenge.
