Cover to Cover: Minor Prophets

Hosea: The Relentless Love of God

Is your life centered on God’s heart of love for you? It’s only in knowing God’s love that we then begin to change and love in response!

Joel: The Spirit Poured Out

Your root problem is not your behavior but your desire. Learn about the Spirit’s transforming power in the message of Joel

Amos: Loving Like Jesus

In Jesus’s love for us, we receive the compulsion and power to love others radically! Just as God called Israel to be a community of love, so God now calls Christians to love as Jesus loved them!

Obadiah: Nothing to Prove

Do you want to be free from the need to prove yourself? Explore the freedom found through humility in the book of Obadiah

Jonah: Mercy's Liberation

Jonah’s story leads us to examine our hearts towards those who have hurt us. While we are inclined to hold onto bitterness, the cross of Christ gives us the power to show mercy and live in freedom.

Micah: A Heart Like God's

The prophet Micah confronts the Israelites for their empty religion: claiming to love God but living without love or morality. “What does the Lord require of you but to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God? (Micah 6:8).” When Jesus came to Earth, he perfectly embodied justice, kindness and humility. Because we are united to Jesus, we have the power to live likewise.

Nahum: Judgment to Joy

The book of Nahum highlights God’s judgment on sin, and while this might not be a popular topic, God’s grace will never be precious to us until we grasp this reality. God’s justice, satisfied on the cross, moves us to gratitude and worship.

Habakkuk: A Vision of Hope

Habakkuk was able to possess joy and strength in his hard circumstances because he found hope in God. We too have hope for a restored world through Christ! Both hardship and flourishing can serve to deepen this hope and empower us to live faithfully.

Zephaniah: The Song God Sings

Do you find yourself fluctuating with the ups and downs of your performance? God grounds his people with a new identity rooted in his unconditional love. Zephaniah declares, “God rejoices over you with gladness. He quiets you with his love. He exults over you with loud singing.”

Haggai: Building God's Home

God has called you to build his temple, his family of people. Explore this God-given purpose in the book of Haggai

Zechariah: The Coming King

In the face of discouragement, hope in Christ’s restoration sustains faithful living.

Malachi: Spiritual Apathy

When we forget or doubt God’s love, we drift away from him. Micah wakes us up the reality of our often apathetic spiritual state and revitalizes us with the truth of God’s persevering love.
