These chapters remind us that human kingdoms may fall because of unbelief, but God's promise of redemption still stands firm in Jesus.

What the Bible Really Says About Prophets — June 27th | Resolved to Read

In this special supplemental episode of Resolved to Read, we pause our daily chronological Bible reading to take a closer look at one of the Bible’s most misunderstood figures: the prophet. Were prophets mainly fortune-tellers predicting the distant future, or were they something more immediate, urgent, and deeply rooted in Israel’s covenant relationship with God? Drawing from our recent readings in 1 and 2 Kings, Amos, Hosea, Joel, Micah and Jonah, this episode explores what prophets actually were, what they were called to do, and why their message so often made them unwelcome. We’ll see that prophets were God’s messengers - confronting injustice, exposing idolatry, calling people to repentance, warning of judgment, and holding out the hope of restoration. Most importantly, we’ll trace how the prophets point beyond themselves to Jesus, the ultimate Prophet, who speaks God’s word perfectly and brings about the restoration they long foretold. Whether you’ve ever felt confused by the prophetic books or simply want to understand the big picture better, this episode will help you read Scripture with greater clarity and confidence.

June 27 — What the Lord Requires — Chronological Audio Bible Reading | Micah 6–7 | Resolved to Read

IIn today’s reading from Micah 6:1–7:20, God confronts a people who continue to offer sacrifices while refusing to turn from injustice, deceit, and violence. Through Micah’s words, we are reminded that outward acts of religion mean nothing when the heart remains unchanged—what the Lord desires is that we act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with our God. This truth reaches us even now: we cannot claim the sacrifice of Jesus while continuing to cherish evil, cheat others, lie, and destroy those around us. His sacrifice is not a license to remain unchanged, but the call and power to live as a people transformed by grace.
