Learning from Micah

Micah 1:1–7:20

Worshipping The Lord, Walking In His Ways And Being His Witnesses 
1:1-2:13
Micah was a fearless preacher of God’s Word. His message was not popular: ‘Let the Lord God be a witness against you’. He was a forthright preacher of God’s Word. He knew that the people wouldn’t want to hear what he had to say to them. He demanded that they listen to him. This wasn’t only Micah’s word. It was the Word of the Lord. That’s why Micah said, ‘Hear, O peoples, all of you. Listen, O earth and all who are in it’(2:2). We cannot afford to ignore the Word of the Lord. We must listen to His Word. He speaks His Word against us. He says, ‘You cannot save yourselves’(2:3). He speaks His Word against us so that we might learn to rejoice in His Word of salvation: ‘I will bring you together like sheep returning to the fold’(2:12).
3:1-5:1
Micah speaks to those ‘who hate good and love evil’(3:2). He calls upon them to change their way of living. He calls upon them to worship the Lord – ‘Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord’- and walk with Him – ‘We will walk in the Name of the Lord our God for ever and ever’. How do we learn to ‘walk in His paths’? We come to His ‘House’. We listen to His ‘Word’. We pray that His Word will come to us ‘with power’. We ask Him to ‘teach us His ways’. We pray that we will be ‘filled with the Spirit of the Lord’(4:2,5; 3:8). We worship the Lord in His House. Gathered in His House for worship, we ‘receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on us’. Through His power, we are equipped for witness: ‘you will be My witnesses…’(Acts 1:8).

Jesus Christ – The Good Shepherd, The Great Shepherd, The Chief Shepherd 
5:2-6:16
In 5:2, we have a prophecy concerning the birth of Jesus at ‘Bethlehem’. This prophecy invites us to ‘go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about’. At ‘Bethlehem’, we see ‘shepherds, glorifying and praising God’(Luke 2:15,20). We also see Jesus our Shepherd. He is the One whom the shepherds worshipped. He is the One who ‘will stand and shepherd His flock in the strength of the Lord…’. He is ‘the Good Shepherd’. He ‘laid down His life’for us. He is ‘the Great Shepherd’. He ‘was raised from the dead’ for us. He is ‘the Chief Shepherd’. He will ‘come’ again for us (5:4; John 10:14; Hebrews 13:20; 1 Peter 5:4). Jesus our ‘Shepherd’ gives us ‘strength’ to ‘do justice, love kindness and walk humbly with our God’(6:8).us, how wonderful is my Saviour’s love for me!’(Mission Praise, 296). 
7:1-20
‘Who is a God like You? You forgive sin… You love to be merciful.You will again have compassion on us… You will throw all our sins into the depths of the ocean!… You will bless us… You will set Your love upon us…’(7:18-20) – ‘I stand amazed in the presence of Jesus the Nazarene and wonder how He could love me, a sinner, condemned, unclean. He took my sins and my sorrows. He made them His very own. He bore the burden to Calvary, and suffered and died alone. When with the ransomed in glory His face I at last shall see, ‘twill be my joy through the ages to sing of His love for me. How marvellous, how wonderful, and my song shall ever be: How marvellous, how wonderful is my Saviour's love for me."

Searching for Sermons & Illustrations

Basic Use

To perform a simple search for sermons and illustrations, type your search terms into the search box on the left and press enter. The sidebar will switch over to the search results tab and automatically load the first submission. To view more search results, simply scroll down. Additional results will automatically load into the bottom of the sidebar as you scroll.

hope
faith like a mustard seed

You can modify your search to only return results containing two or more of your terms by using the AND keyword. The OR keyword can be used to specify that you want results that may only match one of your terms. Use quotation marks to search for an exact phrase.

love AND patience
joy OR happiness
"walk with God"
joy AND "hard times"
(servant OR slave) AND (Jesus OR Christ)

Advanced Searches

Sermons.Logos.com also supports more advanced search syntax. Sermons are broken down into several sections, or fields:

author | The name of the contributor
title | The title of the submission
passage | Passages related to the submission
topic | Topics addressed by the submission, e.g.: forgiveness, marriage
tag | Tags attached to the submission, e.g.: men's retreat, Easter Sunday
type | 'sermon' or 'illustration'
language | The language the submission was written in, e.g.: en, es, ko
content | The full text of the submission

By default a search will look for matches in any field. You can also specify which field you want to search by inserting the name of the field directly before your search term.

title:faith
tag:"Father's day" AND type:illustration
topic:"John the Baptist"

Bible references are treated as special search terms. Sermons.Logos.com understands verse ranges, and will match submissions that contain any references within the range you specify, not just the exact reference. If you search for John 3:15-17, you will also get results with John 3:16. A Bible reference is specified by using angle brackets, such as <Eph 2:8>. If you forget to use the angle brackets in a simple query, don't worry, it will still be recognized as a Bible reference.

Genesis 1:1
<Eph 2:1-9>
passage:<Proverbs 3:5-6>
