Listen "Schemes Below, Shepherd Above"
Episode Synopsis
Micah 2 delivers a powerful prophetic indictment of Judah's spiritual and moral decay, exposing how the nation's leaders schemed in secret to seize land and oppress the vulnerable, thereby committing spiritual treason against God's covenant. The sermon reveals that sin against God inevitably manifests as injustice toward neighbor, as the wealthy exploited the poor and false prophets silenced truth with comforting lies, promoting a god who ignores sin. Yet amid the woe, the message pivots to divine hope: God will gather a remnant, not by human merit but by covenant faithfulness, restoring His people through a shepherd-king who breaks through judgment and death. This promise finds its fulfillment in Jesus Christ, who bore the judgment for sin, conquered death, and now leads His people home as the faithful Good Shepherd. The call is clear: turn from self-serving schemes, reject false gods and hollow preachers, and follow Christ, the only one who can restore what sin destroys.
