Micah sermon prep

During April, I'm teaching the book of Micah at Sydney Uni Cumberland Lunchtime Bible Teaching over three weeks. There are a number of decisions to be made as I try to cover the whole book in these three talks. Conceptually there are a numerous ways to divide the chapters, however most of these result in huge amounts of content to be covered in a single sermon. Therefore the method I've gone with is that indicated by Micah's repeated refrain of "Hear, you..."

1. 1:1-2:13

1:2 Hear, you people, all of you

2. 3:1-5:15

3:1 And I said; Hear, you heads of Jacob (repeated in 3:9 'Hear this, you heads of the house of Jacob')

3. 6:1-7:20

6:1 Hear what the LORD says;

As well as having manageable chunks to devour it provides the great reminder each week as we study "The word of the LORD that came to Micah" (1:1) that our primary response is to hear.
