God is True to His Word
July 29, 2022 11:00 - 57 minutes - 61.1 MBThe close of Micah deals with a future time when the nations will be stripped of their power and humbled, and they will recognize they had rejected Christ and will turn to Him.

The Fatherhood of God
July 28, 2022 11:00 - 57 minutes - 62.4 MBIt is important to reflect on the role of fathers and to recognize the sacrifices they make for their children.

God Will Not Abandon His People
July 27, 2022 11:00 - 57 minutes - 44 MBMicah paints a gloomy picture of the society in his day: the rulers demanded gifts, the judges accepted bribes, and the powerful dictated what they desired. On top of that he observed a blatant disrespect for God, the family unity, and for the dignity of life and living. He warned the people of their terrible fate and yet, right in the middle of gloom and doom he spoke a word of encouragement: God will not abandon His people. Although God did turn His back, He never completely abandoned the ...
Crime and Punishment
July 26, 2022 11:00 - 56 minutes - 55.1 MBThrough the prophet Micah, God proclaimed the judgment that would come upon the people because they had departed from Him and His ways.

Yahweh vs the People
July 25, 2022 11:00 - 58 minutes - 57.1 MBIn Micah 6, God brings His grievance against the people almost as if He is making a legal case.

God Will Establish His Kingdom on Earth

Micah: Setting People Straight
July 20, 2022 11:00 - 58 minutes - 65.2 MBIn Micah 3, the prophet focuses on the sins of the nation's leadership. The leaders oppressed the people and allowed lawlessness to run rampant.
