In Micah Chapter 7, the prophet shared the bad news first in his honesty about the sin and sorrow surrounding him. Yet when darkness seems overwhelming, Micah reminds us of the good news that our assurance isn’t in circumstances, but in the God who delights in steadfast love. Pastor Brett Meador shares the conclusion of this message of hope begun last time in Today’s Word.

Just when things seemed to be turning around for the better, the situation in the prophet Micah’s day suddenly got worse. But Pastor Brett Meador notes how the issues surrounding the deplorable state of the nation of Israel could easily be ripped from our current headlines. But fortunately, in Today’s Word, Micah also gives us a remedy to help us handle the dark days.

Just as scripture tells us Micah, Isaiah, and others prophesied of the birth of the Christ child, we’ve been alerted of Jesus’ second coming in both the Old and New Testaments. And turning back to Micah Chapters 4 and 5 in Today’s Word, Pastor Brett Meador highlights the divine coordination and promise of the coming ultimate peace . . . at the arrival of the Prince of Peace.

The Gospel of Matthew’s description of the birth of the Messiah in Bethlehem is not only the fulfillment of Scripture, but the fulfillment of prophesy of Micah hundreds of years earlier. As Pastor Brett Meador continues a verse by verse study of the book of Micah, we’ll learn of some of what’s left to be fulfilled in the coming last days Micah also spoke of . . . in Today’ Word.

The Old Testament book of Micah Chapters 4 and 5 give us some important details concerning the coming Millennial Kingdom, but many other things must happen first. From Today’s Word, Pastor Brett Meador considers Micah’s noteworthy prophetic statements – some of which are now history for us, some we seem to be currently experiencing, while others are yet to be fulfilled.

To the nation of Israel, it seemed reasonable that keeping the Law - even adding to it - pleases God. But the answer to Israel’s sin problem wasn’t any religious observance - they needed a change of heart. As Pastor Brett Meador returns to Micah Chapter 6 in Today’s Word, we’re taught compliance to rules isn’t as valued to God as a humble heart that simply does what is right.

The laws in the Old Testament were ultimately designed to show us that no one, except for Jesus Christ, was good enough to keep the law. But in their best effort to try, they just added more rules and regulations than God ever intended. So, turning back to the book of Micah in Today’s Word, Pastor Brett Meador sets out to help clarify just what does God really want from us?

In the book of Micah we see the Lord exposing sin from the streets to the palaces, from false prophets to unjust rulers. But even more disappointing is that it was God’s people committing the idolatry, oppression, and corruption. And so, from Today’s Word, Pastor Brett reflects on the call of God to all who are His . . . to listen and align our lives with the truth of His word.
