If This Table Could Talk
1 Hear what the Lord says: Arise, plead your case before the mountains, and let the hills hear your voice. 2 Hear, you mountains, the indictment of the Lord, and you enduring foundations of the earth, for the Lord has an indictment against his people, and he will contend with Israel. —Micah 6:1–2 (ESV)
1. God Desires Covenant
, Not Empty
6 “With what shall I come before the Lord, and bow myself before God on high? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old? 7 Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, with ten thousands of rivers of oil? Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?” —Micah 6:6–7 (ESV)
“To obey is better than sacrifice.” —1 Samuel 15:22
Hebrews 10 5-7
**2- True Worship Is— to do Justice, Love
, and walk
with your God
8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God? —Micah 6:8(ESV)
James 1:27 – Pure religion is caring for the vulnerable.
Psalm 51:17 – A broken and contrite heart is real worship.
3. Ignoring God’s
Leads to Judgment
10 Can I forget any longer the treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and the scant measure that is accursed? 11 Shall I acquit the man with wicked scales and with a bag of deceitful weights? 12 Your rich men are full of violence; your inhabitants speak lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth. 13 Therefore I strike you with a grievous blow, making you desolate because of your sins. —Micah 6:10–13 (ESV)
Deuteronomy 28 – Blessings and curses tied to covenant faithfulness.
Grace welcomes us in, but it’s not a license to live
4. God’s Heart Is
, Even in Judgment
But even as God brings a case against His people, listen to His tone: “O my people, what have I done to you?”
Hosea 11:8–9 – “How can I give you up?”
2 Peter 3:9 – God is patient, not wanting any to perish.
Luke 15 – The Father still runs toward prodigals.
But now, we come to a different table—not wood and metal, but grace and blood.
If this table could talk…
It would speak of a broken body and poured-out blood.
