The Major Lessons of the Major Prophets
Providence, RI
Daniel: How to Be in Babylon
September 1, 2019 • Justin Chapman
In this final part of the series, pastor Justin looks at the book of Daniel. It's filled with fascinating stories and mind-bending prophetic images, and it's all given to help the Israelites endure their exile with hope and faithfulness. It can teach us today how to maintain faithfulness in a culture that often feels like exile.
Ezekiel: A New Heart and a New Spirit
August 25, 2019 • Justin Chapman
Ezekiel's prophetic visions began five years after the exile. Although the book has a grim beginning, it ends with a beautiful vision of a renewed Jerusalem. In this sermon, Pastor Justin looks at God's explanation in Ezekiel 36–37 for how that beauty will be brought out of the wreckage.
Jeremiah: A Covenant Crisis
August 11, 2019 • David Fulton
In part 2 of our exploration of the major prophets, David Fulton looks at the book of Jeremiah. Jeremiah addressed the same time in Israel's history—the lead-up to the exile—but instead of using the language of kingdoms, he used the language of covenant. Israel's issue wasn't just political; it was their unfaithfulness to the covenant they made with God. David asks and answers the question, What does the message of Jeremiah mean for our lives today?
Isaiah: A Tale of Two Cities
August 4, 2019 • Justin Chapman
This is the first of four weeks focused on the major prophets in the Old Testament. The book of Isaiah is a message of warning and hope. In this sermon, Pastor Justin does an overview of Isaiah and unpacks what it means for our lives today.
