Idolatry’s Consequences and Cure

About this episode

The episode discusses the consequences of idolatry as presented in Micah 1 and emphasizes faith in Jesus as the cure for sin.

This morning, we kick-off a new series in the prophetic book of Micah. Written to call God’s people back to a right relationship with him, Micah’s prophecies both warn about the consequences of sin, and put forward the hope of restoration by grace. Today, in Micah 1, we’ll see how the persistent sin of idolatry – which caused Israel to incur the judgment of exile – motivates us today to turn from our idols through faith in Jesus as the only cure for our sin and idolatry.
