The Minor Prophets were Israelites who had a radical encounter with God’s presence and then were commissioned to go and speak on God’s behalf. They span roughly 300 years of history, addressing the Northern Kingdom of Israel, the Southern Kingdom of Judah, and surrounding nations before, during, and after the Babylonian exile. The Minor Prophets’ messages were to proclaim God’s story of His persistent love, hope and restoration, calling the Israelites back to faithfulness with their covenant God and urging the Israelites to listen and obey God, aligning their lives with His Covenant. The Prophets declared future hope, that God was building His Kingdom in a new way through Covenant partnership.

For our next teaching series, we will unpack the messages from the Minor Prophets to reveal the Character of God and how this points directly to the person, life and mission of Jesus, showing that he is the ultimate fulfilment of God’s Character… then move into their application for today. To prepare for the teaching each Sunday we have put together a reading plan. Each book has been sectioned up so you can read the entire book before the Sunday morning.  We are always seeking to discern and understand what God is showing and saying to us at City Life Church. So, if you have any scriptures, words or pictures in response to our Minor  Prophet themes  please share with one of the Pastors or email: lynda@citylifechurch.co.uk
