WHAT DOES GOD WANT? Micah 6:1-8

Context of Micah Prophesied from 737- 696 Contemporary: Isaiah, Amos, & Hosea Prophesied to Jerusalem- Rebuked them about Dishonesty & Corruption Prophesied that The Messiah would come from Bethlehem Articulates EXACTLY what God wants from His people

WHAT DOES GOD WANT? This is the right question Begins with GOD The people were asking the wrong questions

Micah 6:6-7 “What can we bring to the Lord?     What kind of offerings should we give him? Should we bow before God     with offerings of yearling calves? Should we offer him thousands of rams     and ten thousand rivers of olive oil? Should we sacrifice our firstborn children     to pay for our sins?

What is Wrong with Their Questions The Heart behind their questions Their Pride Their Insincerity

Micah 6:8 No, O people, the Lord has told you what is good,     and this is what he requires of you: to do what is right, to love mercy,     and to walk humbly with your God

What is TRULY GOOD In GOD’S EYES? The people in Micah’s time did not know- Micah had to tell them Christians today have an advantage Indwelling Holy Spirit convicts us

Why don’t we DO what is Right? So Far from God that we don’t know We choose not to We are afraid We are not willing to pay the cost

The Cross is the Mercy Seat

Walk Humbly WITH GOD Is it about me or NOT? Yes and No... It is about us but it is more about GOD... And it is ALL about an attitude of Humility

What God Does NOT want... CHEAP GRACE, GOOD INTENTIONS, OR A SHOW.
