I am Brian, it's great to be here with you today.

we get to move into some new territory yet again today.

And that territory will be the book of Micah.

And now we'll get to camp out here for a couple of days.

prophets.

So we're kind of approaching the halfway point through the minor prophets.

the Sheffala, among the southern villages in the kingdom of Judah.

During the years when Joseph, Ahaz, and Hzekhaya were kings of Judah, the visions he saw

concerned both Samaria and Jerusalem.
