Micah 1 opens with a courtroom summons and a storm-theophany that exposes idolatry at the very centers of Israel and Judah. The Lord’s descent brings severe mercy that calls his people from pretense to honest repentance and prepares the way for future restoration.
Amos 6 confronts a culture at ease that will not grieve “the ruin of Joseph.” God swears against pride, shatters false refuges, and calls his people back to humble dependence and public justice.
Amos 3 shows how chosen grace heightens responsibility. The prophet traces cause and effect, exposes worship propped up by plunder, and calls God’s people to hear the Lion’s roar and return while mercy still speaks.
Samaria’s fall is more than defeat; it is covenant judgment after generations of ignored warnings. 2 Kings 17 exposes the lie of half-worship and invites single-hearted loyalty to the Lord alone.
Baal’s temple falls and Ahab’s house ends “according to the word of the Lord,” but Jehu leaves the calves standing. The chapter warns that zeal without whole-hearted worship shrinks peace and shortens gains.
God preserves a family through famine, exposes a murderer in a foreign court, and keeps a lamp for David despite failing kings. The chapter invites obedient foresight, compassionate truth, and hope anchored in God’s unbroken promise.
Elisha’s promise resets a starving city within a day. Four outcasts find an empty camp, share the news, and God’s precise word comes true while cynicism dies at the gate.
2 Kings 6 moves from a borrowed axhead to fiery hosts and a city under siege. God’s word protects, opens eyes, and calls desperate people to trust.
Ahab wins two God-given victories yet fails the test by freeing Ben-Hadad. 1 Kings 20 shows the Lord of hills and valleys and warns against trading obedience for advantage.
Kings change but God’s word stands. 1 Kings 16 traces Baasha to Ahab, showing how trivialized sin becomes policy—and how the Lord still directs history toward hope.
Acts 8 turns persecution into mission and strangers into family. Philip preaches in Samaria and on a desert road, as the Spirit unites the church and sends rejoicing into new places.
