The Prophets: Courageous and Compassionate Faith. Micah
The prophet Micah speaks to us out of his own humble beginnings. Micah was from Moresheth, a small village in Southwest Judah. As he grew up he was a witness to the greed, excess, and corruption of the privileged classes. But it was not just the sinfulness of the people that Micah confronts – he confronts their worship. More so than other prophets, Micah asks the question, “What does God truly want from us?”
Micah boldly confronts the worship of his fellow Hebrews who worship God with “hands full of blood” and “sins like scarlet.” We cannot worship God and remain silent about the needs of the world around us. Worship is meant to nurture the people of God. Then we can become a people of peace, a people of commitment. Join us as we explore this beautiful and timeless book together.
