Prophets Foretold: King

Rev. James Harper preaches on Micah 5:1-6 as part of our Advent Sermon Seried, "Prophets Foretold."   The prophecy in Micah reveals Jesus as both an ancient and future king, showing His eternal nature as the Word of God who spoke creation into existence and His promised return to establish His kingdom. Throughout history, Jesus has been speaking through creation itself, which explains why we feel drawn to something greater when experiencing nature's majesty. Our universal attraction to hero stories reflects God's design, as these narratives echo the true Gospel story of redemption. While we live in a broken world under sin's curse, we can live as citizens of Christ's kingdom by surrendering to His sacrificial love and obeying His teachings, even when they conflict with cultural norms.
