This lesson explores the ministries of the prophets Amos and Micah, who preached during a time of outward religious activity but deep moral and spiritual corruption.

Though the people continued religious ceremonies, they ignored justice, mercy, humility, and care for others–and in this we see reminders of our world today.

Amos warned the Northern Kingdom of Israel before its destruction, while Micah challenged the Southern Kingdom of Judah with similar messages. Both prophets reminded God’s people that true faith is not simply religious observance, but a transformed life reflecting God’s character through justice, mercy, and humility.

The lesson especially focuses on Micah 6:8 and the call to “act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with your God.” We go into detail on the meanings of each of these terms in practical ways for our lives.
