PPOPHETS - LEARNING BY LOOKING BACK

Sometimes we think that the Prophets are scary and intimating, that we need some spiritual key to understand them. This summer, we hope to see that the Prophets are simply a telling of how God’s people struggled to live God’s way, how they broke God’s covenant with them, and how God continued to be their God, even when he sent them into exile in a foreign land. In their judgments, their pleading, their words of encouragement and words of warning, we can learn what God really wants for his people. And even though we are thousands of years removed from the prophets today, they continue to instruct us, revealing who our God really is – a God of justice, covenantal love, and grace.
