Minor Prophets Habakkuk 2:1-4 by Pastor Rick Jordan

Prayer Meeting Date: September 23, 2026

We are getting near the end of our series in the Minor Prophets and near the end of our Bible study in the book of Zechariah.

Not By Might: A Study in the Minor Prophets In Zechariah 4, God gives His people a powerful picture of a lamp that no longer depends on constant human effort—the oil flows continually. When God calls us to rebuild, persevere, and finish what we started, success does not come through our strength or ability, but through His Spirit. “Not By Might” is an invitation to become a conduit for what only God can produce and to make “I will finish what I started” both a courageous decision and a dependent prayer.

WHO ARE WE? • We are a group of people who are committed to living the grace life as set forth by the apostle of the Gentiles, the Apostle Paul. • We come together to study our Bibles, and yes, we believe we have God's perfect Word in the King James Bible. It and it alone is our final authority in all matters of faith and practice! • We do not come together and study our Bibles for the intent of being smarter than others. We understand that knowledge for the sake of knowledge is purely vain and serves no Godly purpose. • We do come together and study our Bibles for the intent of knowing our Lord Jesus Christ and the power of His resurrection. (Philippians 3:10) • We do come together and study our Bibles to understand that we have been crucified with Christ; nevertheless we live; yet not us, but Christ liveth in us: and the life which we now live in the flesh, we live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved us and gave himself for us. (Galatians 2:20) • We do come together and study our Bibles to understand that because Jesus Christ shed His blood for us and we should not live for ourselves but for Him, who died for us and rose again.

The Millennial Humanity(09/06/26)

After spending the summer walking through the Minor Prophets, Pastor Landon turns to Ezra and Nehemiah to look at the historical setting surrounding Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi—and to reflect on the faithfulness of God at work in His people. Before Ezra organized anything, before Nehemiah inspected the walls, and before anyone picked up a tool, God was already working. He stirred hearts, opened doors, provided what was needed, raised up laborers, and accomplished what His people could never have done in their own strength. In this message, Pastor Landon also shares an update on Freedom Fellowship's Kimberly building project and gives thanks for the many ways God has provided through His people. From volunteers using their skills and trades to unexpected provision and answered prayer, we are reminded that the building itself is not the mission—it is simply a tool. Jesus is the mission. As a church, our calling remains the same: to preach His Word, make disciples, reach the lost, equip believers, raise up laborers, and faithfully follow wherever the Lord leads. Like the people in Nehemiah's day, may we have “a mind to work”—not only on a building, but on the work of God's Kingdom in our families, our relationships, our discipleship, and our community. We plan faithfully. We work diligently. We hold our plans loosely. And we trust the Lord completely. Above all, we keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith, trusting that whatever God does next, Christ alone will receive the glory.

Sermon & Communion Meditation: Casey McCormick

In this Bible Study we will be reading and learning from Zechariah chapter 10. This is part of our Minor Prophets series.

As Amos' book ends, Israel's renegade Jews are told there is nowhere to hide. God will send a monster to hunt them out of the sea, he will smoke them out of mountain caves and snatch them out of the sky.Attention then turns to the prophet Obadiah who, it's fair to say, is less than happy with Judah's neighbour, Edom.Obadiah is a short book but a feisty one, and few diatribes by a prophet against a people are as withering.Written and produced by Chas BayfieldMusic by Michael Auld and Jon Hawkins MusicOriginal cover art by Lisa GoffE: contact@whollybuyable.comX: Wholly Buyable Podcast

Haggai 2:1-9 // Nikki DiekerHave you ever looked at what you are building or working on and felt like it completely pales in comparison to the past? In this study of Haggai 2:1-9, we look at a community of people who were discouraged because their new temple looked like nothing compared to the glory of Solomon's original temple. God meets them in their disappointment with a powerful command: be strong and work, because my spirit remains with you. This sermon explores how God promises to shake the heavens and the earth, bring the wealth of nations into his house, and make the future glory of his people far greater than anything they had seen before. If you feel discouraged by small beginnings or weak results, this message will give you the strength to keep going.SERMON NOTES (YouVersion): https://bible.com/events/49655234 PRAYER REQUESTS: https://ccefc.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/2542/responses/new26.08.30

After a summer walking through the Minor Prophets, Pastor Landon closes the series in the final book of the Old Testament: Malachi. Malachi speaks into a spiritually cold and compromised generation, yet God begins with a powerful reminder: “I have loved you.” Even when His people wander, grow cynical, or give Him their leftovers, God remains faithful, calls them to return, and points them toward the One who is coming. Throughout the message, Pastor Landon highlights the central themes of Malachi: God desires our hearts, not empty religious activity; He calls His people to honor Him with their best; He refines and transforms those He saves; and He remains faithful even when we are not. Malachi also brings the entire story of the Minor Prophets to a powerful conclusion. A messenger would prepare the way, the Lord Himself would come, and the Sun of Righteousness would arise with healing in His wings. Then came roughly 400 years of silence. But God had not forgotten His promise. When the fullness of time had come, Jesus Christ entered the story—the promised Savior, the spotless Lamb, the risen King, and the One who is coming again. After looking back through Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi, one truth stands above everything else: It's all about Jesus. The King came. The King died. The King rose. And the King is coming again. So don't grow weary. Don't grow cold. Don't give God your leftovers. Don't mistake His silence for His absence. Return to Him, worship Him, proclaim the good news, and keep looking up.

Near the end of the Old Testament you'll find several books that deal with the lives of people collectively known as the Minor Prophets in a series we're calling Minor Prophets, Major Truths. Each week two speakers are joining us to see what we can learn from these often overlooked books of the Bible.In the conclusion to our series and Pastor Nichole Schreiber is joined by Scott Dutcher to look into the life of the Habakuk and see see that faith isn't pretending you don't have questions– faith is knowing where to take your questions.

Jonah 4:1-11 // Darrion WalkerWhat happens when God extends mercy to the very people you want him to judge? In this study of Jonah 4:1-11, we look at the final, messy chapter of Jonah's story. Instead of celebrating a massive spiritual turning point in Nineveh, Jonah becomes furious because God is gracious, compassionate, slow to anger, and filled with love. This sermon explores our own struggles with bitterness, how we can fall into the trap of wanting mercy for ourselves but judgment for others, and the lesson of the fading plant that God uses to challenge Jonah's perspective. Join us as we look into the mirror of this passage and confront the radical nature of God's love for a broken world.SERMON NOTES (YouVersion): https://bible.com/events/49655236 PRAYER REQUESTS: https://ccefc.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/2553/responses/new26.08.30

In week two of our 12-week series on finding Jesus in the Minor Prophets, we dive into the book of Joel!While Joel opens with a terrifying picture of a devastating locust plague and looming judgment, the message goes far deeper than destruction.

This week's message opens a new 12-week journey through the Old Testament's Minor Prophets, starting with Malachi — God's final recorded words to Israel before 400 years of prophetic silence. Malachi confronts a people who had rebuilt the Temple and resumed the rituals, but whose hearts had gone quietly numb. Through a striking back-and-forth between God and His people, we're challenged in three areas: what we sacrifice, what we withhold, and how we respond to correction — and reminded that even in the middle of indifference, God is actively making a way back.Scriptures covered: Malachi 1:2–3, 6–7, 12–13 | Malachi 2:5 | Malachi 3:1, 5, 7–10, 13–18 | Malachi 4:1–2 | Romans 12:1 | 2 Corinthians 9:7–8 | Revelation 3:19–21Three questions to take with you:What we sacrifice for God reveals how much we value Him — what are you currently giving Him: your best, or your leftovers?What we withhold from God reveals how much we trust Him — where are you holding tightly out of fear instead of trust?Our response to God's correction reveals how much we love Him — when God (or someone He's placed in your life) calls something out, how do you typically respond?Next Steps:Take a moment this week to be honest with God about one area of indifference — invite Him back in.Try Malachi 3:10's challenge: test God's generosity with your own this week, in whatever form that takes for you.Talk with a friend, spouse, or Grand Point community group about where you've felt "numb" lately, and pray for each other.New to Grand Point?

You'll find a series of books near the end of the Old Testament that deal with the lives of people collectively referred to as the Minor Prophets. We're looking into some of these books and what they have to say to us in this series, MINOR PROPHETS, MAJOR TRUTHS. Each week two speakers are sharing what we can learn from these often overlooked books of the Bible. Today Pastor Daniel Brooker is joined by Cheryl Guy to dig into the story of Micah, and examine how God is looking for a broken, compassionate heart that practices kingdom ethics and heart change.

Majoring in the Minors: Finding Jesus in Hosea | Pastor William FrancavillaEvery single word of Scripture is inspired, intentional, and points directly to Jesus—including the books we most often overlook. In this kickoff to our new 12-week series, Majoring in the Minors, we dig deep into the Old Testament "Miner" Prophets to uncover the rich, unshakable truth of God's heart for His people.Starting in the book of Hosea, we look at one of the most remarkable and heart-wrenching stories in all of Scripture. God calls Hosea to marry an unfaithful woman, using his very life and family as a living illustration of God's relentless love for a rebellious people. Through Hosea's obedience, we get a powerful picture of Chesed—God's steadfast, covenant-keeping, unending love. Even when we wander, turn to idols, or end up enslaved by our own choices, God does not abandon us. He pays the ultimate price to buy us back.Key Scripture References:2 Timothy 3:14–17 (All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable)Matthew 5:18 (Not the smallest stroke of a letter will pass away)Hosea 1:1–11 & 3:1–5 (Hosea's marriage, the tragic names, and redemption)Hosea 2:19–20 (God's promise to betroth us in faithfulness forever)Main Takeaways:All Scripture Matters: The 12 Minor Prophets aren't "minor" in importance, only in length. Every word carries God's authority.Sin is Spiritual Adultery: Idolatry isn't just breaking a rule; it's breaking God's heart by taking what belongs to Him and giving it to something else.The Power of Chesed: God's love isn't based on our performance. Chesed is covenant love that stays faithful even when we are unfaithful.The Gospel in Hosea: Just as Hosea bought Gomer back from the slave block, Jesus paid the ultimate price on the cross to redeem us from our sin.Upcoming Events & Reminders:

Amos 5:1-24 // Jonathan NeefWhat happens when religion becomes just an empty show? In this study of Amos 5:1-24, we face a stark warning given to people who were going through all the right religious motions while ignoring the poor and twisting justice. This sermon breaks down why God hates empty rituals when hearts are far from him, and what it truly means to "seek the Lord and live." Discover the weight of the day of the lord and hear the famous, roaring call to let justice roll down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream. If you want to understand what true, lived-out faith looks like to a God who demands justice, this message is a direct and powerful challenge for our lives today.SERMON NOTES (YouVersion): https://bible.com/events/49648928 PRAYER REQUESTS: https://ccefc.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/2542/responses/new26.08.16
