Sermons in the Series: Minor Prophets, Major Lessons
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">With the exception of Jonah and perhaps a few passage from Malachi used when offering time comes during the church service, the books of the Minor Prophets in the Old Testament are far too neglected. Perhaps it is due to their content or perhaps a lack of endurance on the part of believers in regards to their yearly Bible reading schedule. </span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">Whatever the reason, many are highly unfamiliar with the important issues addressed by the Minor Prophets. Our sermon series seeks to bring back to the forefront these valuable books, driving home the overarching messages of the prophets and why we need to pay attention to what they have to say to us today. </span></p>
