Read in context
Read Micah 6:1–8. A covenant dispute recalls God’s faithfulness before the speaker asks what offering could be sufficient. Verse 8 answers that escalating question about worship.

Micah 6:6-8 · WEB · World English Bible
6 How shall I come before Yahweh, and bow myself before the exalted God? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old? 7 Will Yahweh be pleased with thousands of rams? With tens of thousands of rivers of oil? Shall I give my firstborn for my disobedience? The fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? 8 He has shown you, O man, what is good. What does Yahweh require of you, but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?

1. Observation · what does it say?
Question: How do the proposed offerings escalate, and what does verse 8 name instead?
Example answer: The questions move from burnt offerings to thousands of rams, torrents of oil, and even the firstborn. Verse 8 names doing justice, loving kindness, and walking humbly with God. The contrast is between increasingly extravagant offerings and the life God requires.
2. Meaning · how does the context explain it?
Question: What mistake is the answer correcting?
Example answer: Worship cannot be used to buy off God while ignoring how one lives. The three requirements join treatment of others with a humble relationship to God. They are not merely a slogan for being nice, and the passage does not suggest that offering a child is an acceptable act of devotion. The shocking escalation exposes the wrong approach.
3. Application · one possible response
One possible response: “When I discover an error that benefits me financially, I will report it and make the correction, while treating the person involved with kindness.” This gives justice and kindness concrete expression and recognises that faithfulness includes ordinary dealings.
Turn sermon notes into a study you can check
Try it yourself: Can you trace the sermon’s application back to the passage?
Write the main claim you heard, read Micah 6:1–8, and list the textual evidence supporting or qualifying it. Distinguish the passage, the speaker’s explanation, and your response. Print the sheet if handwriting helps; leave a question for further discussion where the connection is unclear.
A reading to avoid
Do not detach the three phrases from God’s prior faithfulness and the discussion of worship. Nor should this short passage be made to answer every question about salvation on its own.
Pray and revisit
God, teach me to act justly, love kindness, and walk humbly with You.
After trying your response, return to the passage: what did you learn, what did you do, and what still needs thought? You can revise your notes as your understanding grows.
Select Scripture first
Start with the passage so the worksheet is anchored in the Bible text rather than in a vague topic or disconnected question.
