24. Micah & Joel - Preaching Against Apathetic Hearts - Video

What is the right way to repent? How many times will God forgive? These are some of the questions Micah and Joel bring to their readers' attention.

Micah / Joel - Against Apathy - For all the sins of Israel, one of their greatest was their developed apathy toward God's Word and His prophets. In Micah and Joel, these prophets condemn the hardened hearts of the people in an effort to prick their hearts to repentance. In the same way that John chastises the Christians in Sardis and Laodicea (Rev 3), Micah and Joel are delivering wake-up calls before judgment; but also, in the same way, Peter pricks the hearts of the crowd who hung Jesus on the cross (Acts 2), they give a message of redemption for those who repent.
