Descripción de Micah #1: Introduction: The Comion of Justice 3u6w2q

This Sunday we’ll begin a new book series, doing an examination of the Minor Prophet, Micah. I recognize that some may start to squirm in their seats at the thought of reading through the thundering pronouncements of an Old Testament prophet on a Sunday morning – but I can assure you we will not be leveraging these writings to try and scare anyone about God. As a matter of fact, I tend to agree with N.T. Wright who asserts that the promotion of a wrathful, vengeful God is a somewhat pagan initiative, and not representative of the Biblical narrative. That’s not to say that Micah will be an easy read. Far from it. We will encounter a lot of talk about judgement described on a cosmic scale – but this Sunday we’re going to take a moment to consider what God’s corrective judgement might be telling us about God’s nature. When we think of God’s judgement, what normally comes to mind? What images do we conjure up? It’s fairly important to grapple with our own picture of God and His character as we unfold the words of Micah, because often the things that trouble us are merely the preloaded assumptions which we map onto the text. If you’re up to it, you may want to read the book of Micah (it won’t take long) before we start in on it in the next few weeks. Let your mind conjure up images of what it described and take some time to jot down who God is confronting and why. We have a modern tendency to personalize sin without taking into how much attention God pays to how we interact with our fellow human being. If you can’t manage to read the book, maybe take a look at The Bible Project’s summary of the book – it’s very informative and will point you in the direction we’ll be taking in this study (you can view it at the bottom of this page). I hope you can us for this study – it will be a wonderful lead up to where we go next! Click here for a pdf of the teaching slideshow. 452r6k
