God's Great Purpose in the World (24) Malcolm Duncan teaching from Micah. Micahs prophetic message is similar to that of Isaiah and was written about the same time. It aimed to warn both the Northern and Southern Kingdoms of impending judgement, which would eventually exile the nation. He reminded them (and us today) that God desires moral qualities on the part of his worshipers rather than sacrifices and burnt offerings - to act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.
