Welcome to Chapel City Church. We are so glad that you’ve come to worship with us today. If there are questions that you have, or things that we can be praying for, we would love to talk with you! This week we will work through Micah 6, and we will see God make his case against his people. Israel and Judah are wicked and rebellious. As the Lord speaks through his prophet, he calls on his people to look back at their history. Are they unfaithful because God has failed? Are they rebellious because God has somehow abandoned them or abused them? The reality is that even a cursory look at their history reveals the perfect faithfulness of God, even when his people were less than faithful themselves. So what does God require from them? Is there a list of things that they must do? Offerings that they must bring? Or is what God requires something much more internal, driven by the heart and not just the work of their hands? How does this impact our understanding of how we are called to respond to God?
Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams,
Micah 6:7-8
with ten thousands of rivers of oil?
Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression,
the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?”
He has told you, O man, what is good;
and what does the Lord require of you
but to do justice, and to love kindness,
and to walk humbly with your God?
