Sermon Series on the Minor Prophets
Why should you care about the minor prophets?
“So, then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone.” - Ephesians 2:19-20
The foundation built on the Apostles, Prophets and Christ Jesus.
Why are they so difficult to understand?
They are written to a specific time, place and culture. We don’t often understand or know the book's setting. To make things more challenging the dates range over 300 years of history. That’s more than the history of the United States.
If you want to hear God speaking clearly, see what he really cares about and learn the heart of God, we should listen to the minor prophets speaking on His behalf in difficult times throughout history.
