True North VBS is Coming July 27-31: Volunteers Needed!!
On July 27 through July 31, we will hold our True North VBS where we will guide kids on the ultimate Alaskan adventure where northern lights glow over majestic mountains, racing rivers, and glistening glaciers. As kids trek the tundra, they’ll explore how easy it is to lose sight of what’s true in our wild world today. Pointing them toward Jesus, True North VBS shows them that he is a faithful friend we can always trust. He’s our True North!
Registration opens next Sunday! Invite a friend and make plans to attend!

Message Notes:
Micah-
Justice. Mercy. Humility.
As you read the prophets remember to look for:
Metaphors and Similes
Word Plays
Historical References
God’s judgment in the prophets is based on these two failures:
Sins against God through improper worship.
Sins against God by injustice and exploitation towards others.
Two Types of Judgment God uses:
Redistribution
Destruction
Our Goal isn’t to appease God…Instead we are called to action through:
Justice and mercy.
Humbly walking with God.
Big Idea: God will stay true to His character and keep his promises. His Justice is meant to draw us to Him, not push us away.
He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God- Micah 6:8
Who is a God like you, who pardons sin and forgives the transgression of the remnant of his inheritance? You do not stay angry forever but delight to show mercy. You will again have compassion on us; you will tread our sins underfoot and hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea. You will be faithful to Jacob, and show love to Abraham, as you pledged on oath to our ancestors in days long ago. -Micah 7:18-20
