Below are questions to help you and your household reflect on the sermon.
Read Micah 3:5 and 3:11-12. In Micah’s day, the people were happily listening to false prophets who cried "Peace!" as long as they were paid, while ignoring the coming judgment of Assyria. Why is human nature so drawn to preaching that promises safety and prosperity without calling us back to Jesus? Where do we see this temptation to build spiritual "snow forts" of false security in the modern church or in our own lives?
Read Micah 5:1-5. Bethlehem Ephrathah was considered "too little" to be counted among the major clans of Judah. Yet, God chose this insignificant town to bring forth the Ruler of Israel. Why does God consistently choose the small, weak, and overlooked things to accomplish His greatest work?
Micah 5:5 explicitly states, regarding the Messiah, "And he shall be their peace." The peace Jesus brings is fundamentally different from the "peace" the false prophets promised in chapter 3. Based on the sermon and the broader Gospel message, how is the peace of Christ completely different from the world's definition of peace?
Read Micah 7:18-20: The ending of Micah points us to the nature of our God. God will "tread our iniquities underfoot" and "cast all our sins into the depths of the sea." How does this violent imagery against sin point us directly to the Cross and the waters of our Baptism? How does this give true hope, when other things we trust in fail.
