Listen "Mouths that Devour, Mouth that Declares"
Episode Synopsis
The sermon delivers a powerful indictment of spiritual and moral corruption among Israel's leaders and prophets, exposing how those entrusted with justice and divine revelation instead exploited the vulnerable, feasted on injustice, and proclaimed false peace for personal gain. Through the vivid imagery of cannibalism and prophetic silence, it reveals that God's judgment falls not only on the powerful but on all who prioritize self-interest over righteousness, especially when they use religious authority to justify oppression. Yet amid this sobering warning, the message pivots to hope in Christ, who fulfills Micah's prophecy by embodying true justice, bearing the silence of abandonment on the cross, and offering forgiveness and the indwelling Spirit to transform hearts. The call is not to power or prestige, but to faithful witness—using whatever influence one has to serve, speak truth, and reflect Christ's self-giving love, empowered by the same Spirit that filled the prophets and was poured out on Jesus.
