Micah 7:14, 15

Micah’s prophetic ministry called attention to the oppression of the poor, the injustice of leaders, and the unfaithful messages of false prophets. The solution to Judah’s sinfulness is simple: “do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with God” (Micah 6:8). Despite their sinfulness, Micah prophesies a time of peace when God will gather a remnant of His people to be ruled by a Shepherd-King born in Bethlehem (Micah 5:2-5).

In this 30-day expository study, we'll go passage-by-passage through the Old Testament Book of Micah. Explore powerful themes of God's righteous justice and judgment as well as His enduring mercy and compassion. We'll also get to see shadows and shades of the coming restoration and victory that would come through Jesus Christ, the Messiah!
