In this message Micah
will talk about two things: False Profits and False Prophets. In this chapter
it is revealed that those in power are exploiting those who are vulnerable. They
are amassing land for themselves and leaving the people of the land desolate.
False prophets have arisen to assure these leaders and land owners that God’s
blessing is upon them. Micah continues to forecast a reversal of roles. Those
who have left others desolate will taste desolation for themselves. The chapter
ends with a message of hope as Micah looks forward to a coming Messiah who will
be a true shepherd and leader for God’s people.

Micah 1:1-16 "In God We Trust"
This week we launch
the Micah series, where we will be going through one chapter of Micah’s eight
chapters each week. Micah is a book that proclaims both judgment and hope. In this
first chapter of Micah we’ll see that both the Northern Kingdom Israel and the
Southern Kingdom of Judah placed their hope and devotion in the treasures of
this world rather than treasuring God. But when we treasure the same things the
world treasures, we can be sure those things will both let us down and be taken
away from us by those who covet them. It is better to treasure that treasure
which no man can take from us: Life with God.

1 Corinthians 15:1-8 "He Appeared"
After His Resurrection, Christ appeared to many people,
including some who did not believe in Him before the Resurrection. This
included Jesus’ own brothers and a man who adamantly opposed the Church and the
Faith: Paul of Tarsus. These post-Resurrection appearances transformed these
doubters, unbelievers and even opposers into faith filled followers of Christ
who impacted their world for Jesus. When did Christ first appear to you?
