Do we obtain righteousness and good standing before God by our works and obedience to the law? Does God accept us on our own merit or on the merit of Christ? Paul reminds us that righteous has always been obtained through faith in Jesus. Does it sound too easy? Too good to be true? This is the gospel that has been proclaimed. 

God's requirements aren't rocket science. He wants us to do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with him. This is the trajectory of a Christian's life.

In this sermon, Israel asks who can resist God's will, and Paul says who are we to ask that or understand God in that way. It looks into Job and Isaiah to get answers to the question asked.

This sermon looks at the "tension" of the fairness factor of God' elect. It looks into 2 stories, 2 principles, and then looks at 2 fruits we should have after this sermon.

Micah finds hope in the midst of darkness and societal decay when he looks into the future at a king who reunites Israel and brings peace.

The title says it all. Micah gives more bad news before showing how it all leads to good news. Jerusalem will have a future after exile that is glorious beyond their wildest dreams.

This sermon goes over the idea that God has always chosen some out of many (and idea called election), and it goes through how that choice has always been a gift.

Micah lays the smackdown on the corrupt rulers, priests, and prophets of his day.

This sermon gives encouragement to engage your brain and open your heart for the next few chapters to come. It goes through the reality of Israel's rejection, rote religiosity, and what the right response should be.

The corrupt leaders of Jerusalem ignore Micah's warnings of judgement as things go from bad to worse.
