Session 11 Micah 3:1-12
name childhood games you played,
such as Hide and Seek, Red Rover, Simon Says, and Follow the Leader.
Point out that Simon Says and Follow the Leader
both required someone to direct the actions.
Some leaders create courses that everyone can follow
while other leaders take the group on a path few can finish.
In today’s session, the prophet Micah clearly revealed
that ungodly leadership will lead to God’s wrath.
Micah was specific in the leaders he addressed
and the consequences for their actions.
in the first three chapters Micah stressed how rebellion had corrupted God’s people.
False prophets were saying that God’s judgment would not come.
Micah promised that judgment would come,
but that there was hope after judgment.
In today’s study Micah began by addressing unjust leaders.
Micah called out the rulers of Israel
for their distortion of justice
seen in their self-serving policies.
He explained that their calls to God would go unanswered because of their sin.
