CONGREGATIONAL BIBLE READINGS: this week is the book of Micah which is in Immerse Prophets (IP), pages 41-54. An audio version is at Days 9 and 10 of www.immersebible.com/prophets-16-week Micah's message, like that of Amos and Hosea, is a call to his people to repent, but he also emphasises God's nature: "Where is another God like you...? You will not stay angry with your people forever,because you delight in showing unfailing love" (Micah 7 v 18; IP54). Furthermore, Micah 6 v 8; IP51-52 reminds us of God's expectations of us, and Micah 5 v 2; IP49-50 will be familiar from the mouths of Herod's advisers in Matthew 2 v 6. Gordy's sermon on 30th November 2014 was on that theme.
