Drawing from the book of Micah, this sermon walks through the three major oracles of the prophet to reveal a courtroom-like structure in which God exposes the sins of both the northern and southern kingdoms of Israel, reminds the people of what he truly desires from them, and ultimately promises hope through a coming shepherd king. The sermon presents God not as a distant judge delighting in condemnation, but as a faithful, compassionate God who grieves over sin and whose deepest desire is to cast the sins of his people into the depths of the sea. The central passage of Micah 6:8 serves as a summary of God's requirements: to act justly, love faithfulness, and walk humbly with God.
