The Message of Micah

Campbell Morgan delivers a powerful sermon on 'The Message of Micah,' emphasizing the unmasking of false authority among civil, spiritual, and moral rulers who act for personal gain rather than the welfare of the people. He contrasts this with the unveiling of the true Ruler, who comes from Bethlehem and embodies peace and divine strength. Morgan highlights that the test of authority lies in its motive, and true strength is found in recognizing God's sovereignty. He calls for obedience to this true authority and encourages believers to live out and enforce His ideals while awaiting His return to establish perfect governance.
