Genesis Church - A Place for New Beginnings

Micah was a prophet who spoke to God's people around 750 years before the ministry of Jesus. As with all the prophets, the Word of the Lord comes to a nation in a covenant relationship with the True and Living God.

Micah reminds us of two key truths that were true then and are true now. The first is God's faithfulness---He will keep His covenant promises. The second truth is the unfaithfulness of the people, who continually move away from their relationship with Yahweh and into idolatry and injustice. Therefore, they deserve God's justice, so Micah warns them.

But Micah also points to their ultimate hope, a King who would be born in Bethlehem. And, this King's presence empowers God's people to "do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with their God."
