Case No. 0693BC God V. His People (9 of 17)
Series: The Unknown Prophets
Pastor Chris Brown
Micah 6:1 -7:20

Court is now in session:

Prosecution:
Micah 6:1-5, Numbers 22-25
There is a solid case against you.
You have forgotten your salvation and freedom.
Don't blame God for your own mistakes.

Defendants:
Micah 6:6-8
You are an unfair God!
We can't possibly please you.

Prosecution:
Micah 6:9-16
You are dishonest in business, you are violent,
you are liars, and your religion is a sham.

Defendants:
Micah 7:1-6
Don't blame us…our government, neighborhoods,
and homes are all messed up.

VERDICT:
Micah 7:7-20

1. Start with a personal commitment, regardless of the mess.
2. The Judge delights in mercy, grace, and forgiveness.

What the Judge requires:
Micah 6:8, Matthew 11:29, 18:21-35, Jonah 4:1-3, Philippians 2:1-18, Luke 6:32-36,
Mark 10:35-45, 12:28-34, Romans 12:3-21, James 4:4-10

Justice = To use our power in a fair and just way.

Mercy = Love to be loving, especially to the hard to love.

Faithfulness = A consistent, unwavering, firm belief.

Humility = A proper view of self.
