Weekly Update 1/12

Randy started a series today on the book of Micah.  Micah is an ancient ethical word for a modern unethical world.

"Here Comes the Judge!"

Micah 1:1-16

* Points to Ponder

1.  Good does not tolerate any rivals.
2.  Human history is moving toward a goal.
3.  Advantage entails accountability.
4.  We must have the same resolve as Micah.
5.  The opening oracle implies repentance.
6.  It is never too late to repent!

* Accept the Micah challenge!

* Concentrate on three themes!

1. God
2. Grace
3. Social justice
