After studying God’s wakeup call to Israel in the first two chapters, we’re concluding our 3-part series on the book of Joel with chapter 3 this week.

But beyond this, Micah gave another detail of the Messiah’s origin a chapter earlier. It specified the exact place and people in Bethlehem that …
If you’re like most people, your hometown is a special place. It’s part of what developed your personality and perspective in life.
