This Sunday we begin a new 7-Part Summer Series in the book of Micah. Micah is one of the Minor Prophets in the Old Testament but there's nothing minor about his prophesies. He speaks boldly and directly as an oracle of God to the people of Israel at a critical time in their history, a time remarkably similar to our own today.
