May 8 - “The Lord’s Messenger” After all they had been through God’s people continued to fall into sin. The Old Testament comes to an end with a reminder of a need for a Saviour and a promise.
April 17 - “God Has Remembered” Zechariah stands out as an Old Testament messenger who clearly speaks about the promised Messiah, Jesus Christ.
April 10 - “Feast” Haggai served as a prophet while the Jews struggled to rebuild Jerusalem and the temple. His message was one of hope and building up the people of God.
April 3 - “God Has Hidden” Zephaniah announces God’s judgement followed by the announcement of God’s blessing especially the faithful.
Mar 6 - “One Who Endures” Instead of preaching judgement, Habakkuk asks the tough questions of life like Why, Why is there evil, is God really Sovereign, why does evil prosper.
We are presently in the season of Lent – the weeks leading up to Good Friday and Easter. We will continue our walk through the minor prophets. As we continue our journey, listen carefully for the promise of the Messiah and the reminder that in Christ’s death and resurrection, we powerfully see God’s love and forgiveness.
We continue our walk through the lives of the Old Testament Minor prophets, their calling, their message and its connection to how we understand the New Testament and our understanding of God’s redemptive plan. Listen closely and you’ll find the challenges we receive will be life changing as we allow God to shape us into fully devoted followers of Jesus.
