God can use our greatest defeat to become our greatest rescue. Following the declaration of judgement over
Israel’s political and religious leaders in chapter 3, Micah pronounces Israel’s future defeat in chapter 4. Assyria
and Babylon will eventually come in judgment against God’s people, taking them into exile. And just when it
seems all hope is lost, Micah points to a coming Savior. One who will gather a remnant of those who have
been driven away and will usher in a reign of peace. This King of Kings will forever free His people from the
very things that led them away from the Lord. The suffering and pain of God’s people will give way to the
victory and peace of their wonderful Savior, Jesus Christ.

Who is Like Our God?
June 19, 2022 • Chan Mitchell
In today’s culture world, proclaiming the uniqueness of the Lord can be unpopular. Sometimes we who believe in the Lord can be tempted to downplay His power and uniqueness. But, like Micah, we are called to affirm that the Lord alone is God. Who is like our God? No one! He alone reigns!
Because Of Your Sins
June 12, 2022 • Mark Hartman
God takes sin seriously because sin destroys what is good. He made a good world that he wants us to enjoy and he has told us how we can enjoy it in righteous ways. However, we are often tricked by the lie that says God’s ways are harsh and restrictive, so we end up hiding from God and trying to enjoy what He has created in wicked ways that leave us enslaved, feeling ashamed and alone. God wants us to see that sin never end’s up giving us what we hope it will and that He is our generous Father who wants us to come to him with our desires.
What Does the Lord Require?
June 5, 2022 • Chan Mitchell
Religious rituals can never compensate for a lack of love. External compliance to rules is not as valuable in God’s eyes as a humble heart that simply does what is right. God still requires His people to do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly.
