“Peace Under God’s Reign” Micah 4v1-5 [21st June 2026]
Bible teaching by Thomas Abbott on the 21st June 2026. TEACHING NOTES Micah 4:1–5 gives us one of the Bible’s great visions of peace: nations streaming to the mountain of the Lord, weapons transformed into farming tools, and every person sitting safely under their own vine and fig tree… But this peace does not come through human will, political idealism or clever diplomacy. It comes because God reigns. After the judgment of Micah 3, where Zion is reduced to rubble, chapter 4 opens in stark contrast with astonishing hope: the judged mountain will one day be exalted above all other mountains. God will teach the nations, judge rightly, settle disputes and remove fear forever. As born-again followers with His in-dwelling spirit, we see this vision centred on Jesus Christ, the Judge who was judged in our place. By his death and resurrection, peace with God has begun, and when he returns, Micah’s prophecy will be fully realised!

“From Sinai to Nebo” [14th June 2026]
Evening Bible teaching by Alex Vaca on the 14th June 2026. Exodus 34:29-35; Deuteronomy 34 TEACHING NOTES: Main Theme The greatness of Moses was not his leadership, miracles, or achievements, but his relationship with God. Exodus 34: Moses comes down from Sinai with a shining face. Deuteronomy 34: Moses climbs Mount Nebo and dies in the presence of God. Between these two mountains stands a life devoted to walking with God. Key Verse "No prophet has arisen in Israel like Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face." (Deuteronomy 34:10) Moses stood on two mountains. At Sinai his face shone. At Nebo his body rested. Between those mountains was a lifetime of walking with God. His shining face revealed the secret of his life. His hidden grave revealed the humility of his legacy. The greatest thing that can be said of any believer is not that they were successful, gifted, or influential. But that they walked with God.

“Seeing as God sees” Micah 1 [31st May 2026]
Video links and teaching notes below. Link below to watch the mentioned video "Not as Bad as the Truth by David Pawson - Book Promo" Watch until 2.12 www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZjXFRyN3Nc Bible teaching by Thomas Abbott on the 31st May 2026. TEACHING NOTES Micah was an 8th century BC prophet from Moresheth in the ancient Kingdom of Judah, called by God to expose the true spiritual condition of God’s people. In chapter 1, he summons all people to listen as the Lord comes near in judgement. Beneath the appearance of religious activity and political success, Micah saw what God saw: idolatry, injustice, and covenant unfaithfulness. He laments deeply for his people and warns them in mercy. Such is the nature of biblical prophecy: inspired by the Spirit, Scripture remains living and active across generations. For us today, Micah teaches us that God opens our eyes to reality as He sees it, and points us to what is our only hope: God’s mercy in Jesus Christ alone.
