Sermon Series “Little Isaiah”

Five week series studying the book of Micah. From this series, we hope you will find challenging critique and that you find destabilization of what we call “normal.” We hope you will catch a glimpse of God’s alternative. And fundamentally, we hope that you see how much God cares, not just for the life you leave, but every life around you, and how it is that we can do better toward each other.
