Pastor Tim continues our series, “the Weary World Rejoices,” turning to the promise of a king who cares for us in Micah 5:1-4.
Melanie turns us to Micah this week to think about how God has a plan for our salvation throughout all time.
Pastor Tim takes us to the book of Micah to think about how God always surrounds us with His grace — even in His judgment.
When wise men arrive in Jerusalem asking where to find the one born king of the Jews, Matthew 2 says Herod was deeply disturbed—and all Jerusalem with him. It’s a strange reaction to the fulfillment of a centuries-old promise, and it looks a lot like what we do when God’s work threatens the status and stability we’ve been quietly building our joy around.
We’ve all stepped into a conflict hoping to bring peace and walked out having made things worse—turns out we didn’t understand the system as well as we thought. Jesus calls the peacemakers blessed in Matthew 5:9, promising they shall be called sons of God, so the question worth sitting with is: what kind of peace does He actually have in mind?
