For six Sundays we follow God's people through one question: whom will you serve? Week five turns to the prophet Micah.
Micah pictures God coming down the mountain and heading straight for the capital cities, Samaria and Jerusalem, where kings and leaders made the decisions everyone else lived with. Then he promises a ruler out of Bethlehem, a town too small to count. And when someone asks how to approach God, offering calves and rams and rivers of oil, the answer comes back in one sentence: "to do justice, embrace faithful love, and walk humbly with your God."
This week's next step is acts of mercy: start the day asking God who you can serve, do one small thing, and help fill a holiday table through Fill the Table.
