Podcasts about minor prophets

This week Dylan Goldsmith brings the word as we continue our walk through the Minor Prophets with Nahum and its surprising sequel-like connection to Jonah. We trace Assyria's brutal history, Nineveh's brief repentance, and its eventual downfall, highlighting what this reveals about God's character—patient and compassionate, yet perfectly just. You'll be challenged to consider the cost of taking God's grace for granted, the reality of coming judgment, and the hope God offers as a refuge for those who trust in Him.Support the showWe are growing the Kingdom of God through the lives of everyday people by reaching UP to God, IN to Grow, and OUT to GiveJoin us on Sundays at 9:30 in person and online!FBC Nokomis Youtube: www.youtube.com/@FirstBaptistChurchofNokomisFBC Nokomis Facebook: www.facebook.com/firstbaptistnokomisFBC Nokomis Sermon Podcast: https://fbcnokomissermons.buzzsprout.com/share

The book of Zephaniah begins with the thunder of judgment, but it ends with the sound of singing. As we continue our journey through the Minor Prophets, Zephaniah gives us a powerful picture of both the holiness and the love of God. Sin is serious, judgment is real, and the Day of the Lord is coming—but the God who judges sin is also the God who delights in saving sinners. Judah had experienced outward religious reform, but many hearts remained far from God. They continued the sacrifices and ceremonies while drifting into complacency, divided worship, and idolatry. Zephaniah warns us that familiar religion can never replace a living relationship with Jesus. The call of this book is clear: Seek the Lord. Seek righteousness. Seek humility. God lovingly warns His people before judgment comes, inviting them to repent, return, and find refuge in Him. Every warning points us toward the cross, where Jesus—the spotless Lamb of God—received the judgment our sin deserved. Then the message changes from judgment to joy: “The Lord your God in your midst, The Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing.” —Zephaniah 3:17 Through Jesus, our judgment has been taken away, our enemy has been defeated, and the King is in our midst. God does not merely tolerate His redeemed people—He rejoices over them. When fear, shame, grief, anxiety, and uncertainty overwhelm us, God may not immediately explain everything, but He promises His presence. He quiets us with His love and reminds us that our salvation rests not on how tightly we hold onto Him, but on how faithfully He holds onto us. Key Scriptures: * Zephaniah 1–3 * Zephaniah 3:17 * Matthew 15:8 * 2 Peter 3:9 * Revelation 7 * Philippians 1:6 Do not drift. Seek the Lord. Rest in His love.

Have you ever prayed and felt like God wasn't listening? In this week's message from The Voice, our summer journey through the Minor Prophets, we open the book of Habakkuk — a prophet bold enough to argue with God about the evil and injustice around him, and honest enough to bring his doubt straight to God's throne. What he received wasn't an explanation, but a revelation: "the righteous shall live by faith" (Habakkuk 2:4). Discover how to climb the watchtower when God seems silent, and how Even-If faith (Habakkuk 3:17-19) can turn your lament into worship — even before your circumstances change.Show Notes:Speaker: Dan Culbertson, Shippensburg Campus PastorSeries: The Voice — a summer walk through the Minor ProphetsMain text: Habakkuk 1–3Supporting texts: Romans 5:3-5; Romans 10:9Habakkuk is written as a call-and-response conversation between the prophet and God, largely in the Hebrew form of lamentDoubt, frustration, and honest questions are not the opposite of faith — Jacob, Job, Jeremiah, and Thomas all wrestled with God, and He rejected none of themHabakkuk 2:4 — "the righteous shall live by his faith" — later quoted in Romans, Galatians, and HebrewsTwo practices for seasons of perceived silence: Climb the Watchtower (move toward God, not away — keep praying, keep seeking, position yourself to watch for His movement) and Even-If (decide in advance to worship even if the worst-case scenario happens — Habakkuk 3:17-19)Referenced: Craig Groeschel, Hope in the Dark — acceptance is not denial; honest grief and real hope belong togetherNext Steps (highlight in episode page):Follow Jesus. If you made a decision to follow Jesus during this message, we'd love to celebrate with you and help you find your next step — visit grandpoint.church or stop by Guest Services this weekend.Read Habakkuk this week. It's only three chapters — read it slowly and watch the prophet move from lament to praise.Name your Even-If.

HAGGAI, ZECHARIAH and MALACHI It is an unfortunate misconception that because these books are called "The Minor Prophets, as their relevance to our lives is also minor." This couldn't be further from the truth! The richness of life's lessons and our prophetic hope permeate every word. Don't be tricked into missing these overwhelmingly rich studies. In the book of Haggai we see God sending the prophet Haggai to challenge the people to rebuild which led to a significant turning point in their history. Haggia's audience was the remnant. (They were not unbelievers.) They were the right people, living in the right place, wanting to do the right work, and for the right reasons. But their priorities were not right. They were caught up in their own pursuits. They were living for themselves rather than for God's glory. [Isn't that us?] Zechariah is often called the Apocalypse of the OT, it presents the Messiah as: The Branch who will remove iniquity, The Stone, His Throne, His Temple, The Coming King, The Shepherd, The Triumphal Entry, on a donkey, His Betrayal for 30 pieces of silver, His Crucifixion, and His Second Coming: looking upon me whom they pierced. It also focuses on the Day of YHWH, the return of Israel in unbelief, and their passing through the Great Tribulation; the siege of Jerusalem by the confederated Gentile powers, and their deliverance by King Messiah. Zechariah also gives us the only physical description of the Antichrist in the Scripture. [It also seems to suggest a neutron bomb in Chapter 14.] It also may hold the solution to the enigma of Mystery Babylon and its relation to literal Babylon in prophecy. Malachi means ''my messengers.'' Malachi ministered in the fifth century b.c., about 100 years after Cyrus had issued the decree in 538 b.c. which permitted Jews to return from exile to Judah. The destruction of Edom (re: Mal 1:3-5) was affected by the Nabatean Arabs who totally drove out the Edomites between 550 and 400 B.C., setting up their own Idumean state in its place.

Justice. Mercy. Humility. Pastor James continues Majoring on the Minor Prophets with Micah.

This is the 3rd Session of the Minor Prophets pt 1 Bible Study.  Taught by Beth Coppedge  Scripture book of Joel 

The book of Jonah ends with one of history's greatest comebacks — an entire city repenting and God relenting. But what happened next? In this week's message from THE VOICE, our series through the Minor Prophets, we open Nahum: the Bible's sequel to Jonah, written a century later to the very same city. Discover why mercy and judgment are complementary rather than contradictory, why faith can never be inherited, and why this hard-edged prophecy contains one of the most comforting promises in Scripture: "The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in him" (Nahum 1:7).Show NotesThe Bible's "sequel": how Nahum continues the story of Jonah, 100 years laterThe Bible as a book of comebacks — Moses, Rahab, Peter, PaulThree truths about God from Nahum 1:2–3: He cares for His people, He judges what opposes Him, and He is slow to angerNineveh at the height of its power — and the prophecy no one believedHistory's confirmation: the flood, the fire, and a city lost until the 1840sWhy God judged Nineveh: violence, idolatry, and arroganceTwo lessons for today: sin will be dealt with, and God's mercy must be embraced by each generationThe hope inside a hard book: God as refuge (Nahum 1:7)Scriptures referenced: Nahum 1:2–3; 1:7; 1:8; 1:15; 2:2; 3:1–10; Jonah 3:1–10Next StepsTake a personal step of faith — if you've been living on borrowed or inherited faith, make it your own this weekRequest prayer — our team would love to pray with youPlan a visit or take your next step through baptism or a groupConnect with Grand Point Church:Website: https://www.grandpoint.church Instagram: @grandpointchurch Facebook: /grandpointchurch YouTube: Grand Point ChurchConnect with us at www.grandpoint.church/nextstepsWatch online on YouTubeFollow us on Facebook and InstagramSign up for our free weekly newsletter

Jonah is more than the story of a great fish. It's a story of God's relentless mercy and His call to obedient hearts. Pastor James continues Majoring on the Minor Prophets with Jonah.

On today's episode of Back Porch Theology, Lisa and Allison are joined by Kristi McLelland for a rich conversation about the Minor Prophets, with a special focus on the book of Hosea. Together, they trace the threads of Hosea's powerful love story—a living illustration of God's relentless pursuit of His people. While the Minor Prophets contain sobering warnings and calls to repentance, they ultimately point to a God who never gives up on His people and whose story culminates in redemption through Jesus.

God is still speaking — but pride, fear, and bitterness can fill the line with static. In this week's message from our summer series The Voice, Pastor Lawrence walks through the book of Micah, an Old Testament courtroom drama where God takes the bench as Judge, His people stand as the defendants, and the verdict bends toward mercy.We'll meet a small-town prophet with a nation-sized message, name the three barriers that keep us from hearing God's voice, and land on one of the most famous summaries of faith in all of Scripture: "To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God" (Micah 6:8). It's a message about getting the static out — and rediscovering the God who casts our sins into the depths of the sea.In this episode:Why we're drawn to courtroom drama — and how Micah reads like oneThe truth that God is a speaking God who wants real conversation with youThe three barriers to hearing God: pride, fear, and bitternessWhy "resentment is a self-inflicted wound" — and how to let it go (James 1:21)The difference between hearing what we want and what we needMicah 6:8 and what God actually requires of usThe hope of Micah 7:18 — the God who pardons sinNext steps this week:

We are in a long study of the Minor Prophet book in the Old Testament. This is the first part of the book of Zechariah.

Hosea is the first of the 12 Minor Prophets and it will not be easy to forget him or his message. God told him to preach against the Northern Kingdom of Israel not only in verbal oracles, but also to symbolize that message through his own marriage — his "wife of harlotry" represents Israel! Enjoy this sample from Lesson 2, "Hosea's Symbolic Marriage (Hos 1-3)" from Dr. Nick's 20 part course, "The Minor Prophets: The Book of the Twelve." Anyone can join our community of students and stream the entire audio lesson and full course (and other courses too!) whenever they wish.

Can a prophetic word reach someone an argument never could? What if the most effective evangelism tool in Scripture is a detail about someone that only God could have known?JonMark Baker of the Minor Prophets Podcast joins Remnant Radio to talk about the gift of prophecy and words of knowledge as on-mission tools for evangelism.ABOUT THIS EPISODE:We live in a culture that's heard plenty of arguments for God and built a callus against most of them. Apologetics still matters. But what do you do with someone whose heart hardened against Jesus before you ever opened your mouth?That's where a word of knowledge does something logic can't. A divinely-given word proves to a stranger that God sees them, knows them, and has His eye on the actual details of their life. Paul described exactly this in 1 Corinthians 14:24-25: an outsider walks in, the secrets of his heart are laid bare through prophecy, and he falls on his face declaring that God is really among you. It's the New Testament's own case study for prophecy as evangelism.This is a conversation about giftings doing what they were always meant to do: building up the body of Christ, and pushing back the darkness in a culture that needs reminding God is real, and still speaks.0:00 – Introduction2:27 – JonMark Baker4:36 – Prophesying & Availability9:54 – God Speaks Subtly20:49 – Spirit, Mind, Thought25:33 – Prophetic Evangelism Steps36:38 – Parable of the Soils44:36 – Power & Evangelism49:30 – Closing ThoughtsSubscribe to The Remnant Radio newsletter and receive our FREE introduction to spiritual gifts eBook.

In this week's sermon of our Minor Prophets series, we walk with Amos—the farmer-turned-prophet who steps out of the echo chamber to deliver a hard truth to God's people. Using Amos' image of the plumb line, we explore what it means to measure our lives against God's standard rather than the people around us.From “ivory houses” and injustice toward the poor, to modern comfort, comparison, and online echo chambers, we press into one big question: Who is your Amos—the honest voice with nothing to gain who can help you live a life of true mishpat (justice) and right living before God?Support the showWe are growing the Kingdom of God through the lives of everyday people by reaching UP to God, IN to Grow, and OUT to GiveJoin us on Sundays at 9:30 in person and online!FBC Nokomis Youtube: www.youtube.com/@FirstBaptistChurchofNokomisFBC Nokomis Facebook: www.facebook.com/firstbaptistnokomisFBC Nokomis Sermon Podcast: https://fbcnokomissermons.buzzsprout.com/share

Everybody's an expert on what's wrong with the world — but Amos had a harder question. In week 3 of The Voice, our summer series through the Minor Prophets, Pastor Lawrence introduces us to Amos: a shepherd and fig farmer with no prophetic pedigree, called by God to confront a prosperous, comfortable people who loved hearing about everyone else's failures. When Amos turned the spotlight around, his message stopped being popular — and started getting personal. This week, sit with the question Amos leaves for all of us: if someone learned about God only by watching your life, what would they learn?Show Notes:Why God sends "warnings" — and the people He uses to deliver themAmos the unlikely prophet: a farmer, not a professional (Amos 7:14)How God uses ordinary people whose hearts are turned toward HimA warning delivered in a season of peace and prosperity (~800 BC, Jeroboam II)The "for three sins, even for four" pattern — and why the crowd cheeredThe turn: when Amos named the sins of God's own people (Amos 2:6)Justice for the poor, compromise, and worship without the heart (Isaiah 29:13)Living in the world but not of it (1 John 2:15)Scripture: Amos 1–4; 7:14; Acts 2:44–45; 1 John 2:15; Isaiah 29:13; Leviticus 20:26Next Steps:Reflect this week: what would people learn about God by watching your life?Pick one area — words, relationships, work, generosity — to live "set apart" this weekNew here or ready to take a next step?

Pastor Landon continues the Minor Prophets series with a message from the book of Micah. Micah confronts the sin, corruption, and spiritual drift of God's people, while also pointing forward to the promised Shepherd King who would come from Bethlehem. Through Micah's warnings and promises, we are reminded that God confronts sin, promises a King, and calls His people to walk with Him. This message centers on Micah 6:8: to do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with our God—not to earn salvation, but because we belong to Jesus.

Pastor Landon continues our journey through the Minor Prophets with a message from the book of Jonah titled “Running for Mercy.” Jonah is more than a story about a great fish—it is a powerful picture of God's mercy, patience, sovereignty, and pursuit of sinners. From Jonah's rebellion to Nineveh's repentance, we see a God who calls, corrects, restores, and shows compassion even to those we struggle to love. This message challenges us to ask: Where are we running from God? Who are we refusing to love? And do we truly share God's heart for the lost?

The Book of Joel reads almost like a horror story — round after round of locusts stripping the land bare. But it doesn't end that way. In this episode, we launch The Voice, our summer series through the Minor Prophets, with a message on the Book of Joel called "From Horror to Hope."We walk through the locust plague as a divine wake-up call, the urgency of the "Day of the Lord," the beautiful invitation to "return to me with all your heart," and God's stunning promise: "I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten" (Joel 2:25). Along the way we ask the question Joel forces on every generation — what would it take for God to wake you up? — and we land on the hope that holds it all together: a God who came to dwell with us in Jesus.Whether you're walking through a season that feels like a nightmare or simply longing for an awakening, this message is an invitation to wake up, return, and let God make all things new.Show NotesScripture referenced:Joel 1:1–14 — the locusts and the call to wake upJoel 2:1, 11 — the Day of the LordJoel 2:12–17 — "Even now… return to me with all your heart"Joel 2:13 — "gracious and compassionate, slow to anger" (cf. Exodus 34:6)Joel 2:18, 25 — God's pity and restorationJoel 2:28–32 — the Spirit poured out on all peopleJoel 3:21 — "The Lord dwells in Zion"2 Corinthians 6:2; Acts 2; John 1:14; Revelation 21Key takeaways:The minor prophets were minor in size, major in message — and the voice behind them is God's.The "locusts" in our lives can be a wake-up call; awakenings begin when we stop pretending everything is fine.Repentance is rending the heart, not the garments — returning to God honestly and completely.God restores not only what was lost, but the years the locusts have eaten (Joel 2:25).Repentance and revival belong together. There's no lasting revival without real repentance.Notable quote: "The locusts don't get the final word. God does."Next Steps (Highlight in the Episode)Respond: Is God using something in your life to wake you up? Don't ignore it — bring it to Him this week.Pray: Need prayer?

The Prophet Joel(06/07/26)

This lesson is part of the series in the Minor Prophets, this is the first part of the Book of Haggai.

As part of the Minor Prophet series Pastor Matt Hamm is leading a Bible Study in the Book of Habakkuk.

Welcome to the Podcast of Southwest Bible Fellowship in Tempe, Arizona. 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. (2 Cor. 5:15) • We do not claim to have attained to these lofty goals, but we press toward the mark of the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

In this message from the book of Obadiah, Pastor Landon continues our study through the Minor Prophets by exploring one of the shortest books in the Old Testament—and one of the most powerful. Obadiah confronts the pride of Edom, a nation that trusted in its strength, security, wisdom, and alliances rather than in God. Through this prophetic warning, we are reminded that pride deceives the heart, resists God's grace, and ultimately leads to destruction. Yet the message does not end in judgment. It points us to the hope found in surrendering to Jesus Christ. Through the examples of Edom and Christ, we see two very different paths: self-exaltation versus humility, self-rule versus surrender, pride versus grace. While Edom sought to elevate itself, Jesus humbled Himself—even to the point of death on a cross—so that sinners could be redeemed. This sermon challenges us to examine our own hearts. Are we building our own kingdom, or are we surrendering to God's? Obadiah reminds us that every earthly kingdom will pass away, but one kingdom will remain forever: “The kingdom shall be the Lord's.” (Obadiah 1:21) Speaker: Pastor Landon Churchill Date: 5/31/2026 ComeToFreedom.com
