Micah continues his pronouncement of judgment against Israel with a rebuke of the oppressors. These evil
leaders used their power and influence to take advantage of the weak and powerless, and to suppress the
Word of God. Even the prophets who were supposed to be the voice of God, had become corrupt and
proclaimed only what tickled the ears of the people. Therefore, in God’s judgment the land would become
desolate – a heap of ruins. Yet there is hope! A Shepherd-King will come Who will gather a remnant of God’s
people and lead them out of captivity and into freedom! This is the promise of the Messiah!
Woe to the Oppressors

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.
