What Angers the Lord? Idolatry

Micah 1:1-16

April 21, 2024 • Dr. Jeffrey Arthurs • Micah 1

We start the Old Testament book of Micah beginning with Micah 1:1-16 . Why Micah? Because the prophet knew God, loved him, and felt his passion. Micah can help us comprehend the heart of God.

Who He Is, What He Does

June 2, 2024 • Dr. Jeffrey Arthurs • Micah 7:18–20

We have come to the end of our seven-week series from Micah. In the last verses of the book (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=micah+7%3a18-20&version=esv), the symphony comes to a climax as Micah asks, “Who is a God like you?” Of course, the answer is “No one!” because of the grace of the covenant-keeping God. The symphony could have climaxed by lifting up God’s power or holiness, but instead Micah puts grace on center stage. Aren’t you glad that you are the recipient of God’s mercy and kindness?

Heart Requirements

As we come to the penultimate week of our time in Micah, we will look at a well-known verse (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=micah+6%3a8&version=niv) that sums up our response to the goodness of God in our lives, a guidepost to living the good life. It is easy to put comforting verses on refrigerator magnets, but in its context, it is more challenging and ultimately more comforting. In preparation, take time to read all of https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=micah+6&version=niv and I can’t wait to be with you all this Sunday morning to worship the Lord together.

He Saves Us from Our Enemies and from Ourselves

May 19, 2024 • Dr. Jeffrey Arthurs • Micah 5:5–15

Deliverance is coming. God keeps telling us that through his prophet, Micah, but what will that deliverance look like? https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=micah+5&version=esv describes deliverance this way: He will save us from our enemies, and he will save us from ourselves! As the https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=romans+7%3a24-25&version=esv says, “Who will deliver me from this body of death? Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord!”
