Micah (3 of 3)
by David Cawston
The last half of the 8th century BC, takes its place as the golden age of Old Testament prophecy. While Amos and Hosea preached in the north, Isaiah and Micah brought God's message to the people of the south. It was a period of turmoil, strife, change, and growth. Assyria was coming rapidly, the front rank as a world power. they had invaded and destroyed both Syria and Israel. The shadow of Assyria's armies was cast over Judah and the lowlands of Philistia. The fulfillment of Amos is prophecy to Israel had already taken place. Step by step the legions of Sennacherib moved on to the west. Sidon was taken which was the capital...
Minor Prophets Speak to Modern America
by Jerry Vines
In the first verse of his prophecy he tells us specifically that the word of the Lord came to him concerning Samaria and Jerusalem. Samaria was the capital city of the northern kingdom. Jerusalem was the capital city of the southern kingdom. So he is the prophet of God to the cities. Now if you will notice in the bible, in the New Testament when you study the stragety of the apostle Paul. You will find that Paul made it a point to go to the city. And it was in the city where he ministered because you see Paul understood that as the cities go so goes the nation. And if the city has revival then the nation has revival. If the city wanders from...

Christ's Coming Kingdom
by Daniel Rodgers
The book of Micah bears the name of its author, Micah, the prophet. Micah was an Old Testament prophet during the time of the Isaiah, Hosea, and Amos. He prophesied during the reins of Jotham, Ahaz and King Hezekiah. All of these kings were kings of Judah, and Micah was a prophet to Judah. Though Micah was a prophet to Judah, much of this prophecy is directed at the Northern Kingdom of Israel, during their time of attack from the Assyrians (1:1) 2. Chapter four is a prophecy that jumps ahead in time to the Millennial Kingdom, in which the Lord will rein as King of Israel and King over the earth. Standing in the...
God's Wakeup Call
by Ron Dunn
I want us to see what God has to say to us through His prophet, Micah. Micah's name means ''who is like God?'' And in the course of this prophecy, Micah gives a number of glimpses of what God is really like. And so, I want us tonight to read in our Bibles from chapter 1 of Micah. Beginning with verse 1 on down through 9: ''The word of the LORD which came to Micah of Moresheth in the days of Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem. Hear, O peoples, all of you; listen, O earth and all it contains, and let the Lord God be a witness against you, the Lord from His holy...
The Holy Spirit and You
by Robert Walker
The author of the book is ''Micah of Moresheth'' (1:1). The word ''Micah'' means ''Who is like Yahweh?'' Micah's hometown of Moresheth is probably the same town identified later as Moresheth-gath in the Shephelah (rolling hills) of Judah. This village was one of many that were captured by Sennacherib in his attack on Judah in 701 BC. (cf. Micah 1:14). Moresheth was an important city which guarded a key route into the hill country of Judah south of Jerusalem. Because of its importance it was fortified by Rehoboam as a defensive center (2Ch 11:5-12) Nothing else is known about Micah, but we can surmise that Micah...
Micah: Pleasing God (14 of 20)
by Roger Thomas
Introduction: I learned something new this week. They say people are a strange lot. They love the front of the bus, the back of the church, and the center of the attention. I have always wondered about that second one, but no one could ever explain it to my satisfaction. Why do so many people sit in the back pews in church? Two little girls happened upon the explanation. ''What do you suppose they mean when they talk about backsliders at church,'' the one little girl asked. ''Oh, that's easy!'' the other explained, ''You see, when people are good, they go to church and sit up front. When they get tired of being good and start being naughty they slide back a seat, and keep sliding. The really naughty people...
Remember Balak and Balaam (5 of 14)
by Dennis Marquardt
INTRO: How much of our walk with God is spent trying to bribe God? Humans have this funny way of dealing with doing wrong; we will try and do some other good thing to soothe our conscience and atone for our sins when we have done something wrong. We attempt to buy God's favor when we feel desperate, hoping to make up for some sin we don't really want to deal with or acknowledge, etc. We grew up bribing our parents when we wanted something or to atone for something we had done wrong, bribing teachers when we needed something, and sometimes we attempted to bribe God - but God cannot be bribed and...
Overcoming Attitude
by Christopher Harbin
The New Baptist Covenant Celebration met this week in Atlanta. Some argued it would be a partisan political exercise, yet it gathered some 15,000 Baptists from over thirty Baptist denominational groups for the sake of unity after the call of Christ. Republican, Democrat, Black, White, Asian, Hispanic, northern, southern, conservative, moderate, known, and unknown, it gathered diverse Baptists seeking unity under the commands of Christ Jesus to love the neglected. 162 years after Baptists fell apart over slavery, we broke new ground in recognizing our failure to live up to the call of Christ Jesus. Can we overcome our attitudes of...
