Reading Selections and Questions for Sunday, May 17th, 2009.
1) Micah 3
How does Micah describe the leaders and prophets of his day? What is their motivation? How is the content of their messages decided?
Is there any areas of your life you are misusing or abusing your power? (work, friendships, family life, etc.)
2) Micah 3:4-6, 12
What are the judgments awaiting them?
Deuteronomy 31:14-22
What warning did God give Moses for the people? What would the consequences be?
1 John 3:21-24
What are the blessings of obedience listed here?
Have you ever felt God became silent with you? If so, what did you do in response?
3) Ezra 7:10, 25
Ezra was an example from the time period after the exile of how a priest/leader should act. Skim Micah 3 once again. How did Israel’s and Judah’s leaders/priests match Ezra’s example?
Matthew 7:15-23 How does Jesus’ teaching about false prophets help us identify them? Why is it important to identify false prophets?
4) Micah 3
Pray for our leaders, that they would seek the Lord, seek justice and speak the truth, no matter the cost. Pray for leaders at every level of your life: church, work, home, city, state, federal government, world.
