Christ returns as King.

Micah preaches that even though, right now, Jerusalem was down, they are not out. And God still has a plan for them.

God, you are our hope. You are our peace. Redeem us even from the hands of our enemies and bring us rest.

The tide has turned! Let's read Micah 4 and rejoice! Instead of fleeing, in the last days, people will stream towards the Lord’s temple. All the nations will be drawn to God to learn His ways, to find His peace, and trust His judgement. This is a kingdom of freedom, a kingdom of

Many believe that Jesus was calling back to this in Luke 24:47 when He said, “repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.” This came to be in Acts 2 at Pentecost. And one day we will see this even more fully when…

and our shame and presents us clean before God. May we be different from those who claimed a relationship with God for what it got them: power, influence, riches, and instead wrap a towel around our waist and follow our savior’s example. How will you serve someone today?

Rub the sleep out of your eyes and read Micah 3...then click! Anyone else grossed out? Micah’s not done yet. Remember he’s one of few voices speaking for God while there is a wave of false prophets speaking for themselves. And the words he is given are meant to cause you to…

I believe in a God whose grace is more amazing than I can understand, and a God who says that it’s never over… But Micah warns, there are times that “He will hide His face from them because of the evil they have done.”

Thank you to the Lord Jesus Christ, who takes our sin…

Those who have a Good Shepherd will resonate with the promise of verses 12-13. Though they will be scattered, they will also be gathered and together and led by their King.

God, help us to show mercy and to live in truth. You are my Good Shepherd.

Please read Micah 2 and then let's talk. Why are they experiencing this “mountain-melting” judgment from God? Why is He letting this happen? Micah shines a spotlight on the injustices they have committed, especially toward the poor. In short, Micah is saying, you’ve put things…

…to the people. These false prophets don’t speak for God or for the good, but for themselves.

Is there any place where you can stand for someone who needs mercy? Is there somewhere in your life where truth should be spoken rather than darkness condoned?

[Transformation Jax @TransformJax]

How would you take that news?

God’s judgment is always just, even when it seems extreme. And He is the only one who brings hope on the other side of it. In what struggle is God refining you? Or better yet, how is God redefining you?

Please read Micah Chapter 1. Let's do this! No warmup, this is one of those movies that starts with an action sequence: God’s coming to town, and it’s not going to be pretty. Why? Judgement.

Micah is a contemporary of the prophet Isaiah, and while Isaiah was in the city of…

… and says they’ll be made “naked and in shame” or Beth Ezel (neighbor town), no one is coming to help you, and Moresheth Gath (possession-town) will only have “parting gifts”, because everything will be taken. It’s like saying that what you are famous for will be wiped out.

but God making it whole again.

Where are you struggling to trust that God will make things whole again?

Action step:
Identify one area where you have lacked motivation in your faith.
Ask God to breathe new life into it and take one small step of faith toward that renewal today

Please read Joel 3:16
The Lord will roar from Zion
and thunder from Jerusalem;
the earth and the heavens will tremble.
But the Lord will be a refuge for His people,
a stronghold for the people of Israel.

[Transformation Jax @TransformJax]

Our sin and failure brought brokenness into the world, but God’s mercy doesn’t stop at forgiveness, it leads to a new creation.
He doesn’t just deal with evil; He replaces it with life, abundance, and His presence. This is the true hope: not just surviving the world as it is…
