27. Nahum Summary Verse

27. Nahum Summary Verse

Nahum prophesies the destruction of Nineveh and the Assyrians and comforts God’s people that He is in control, that He is good and is our protection. This is a comforting assurance that the LORD is our refuge and strength through the troubles of this life. Our summary verse is from Nahum 1:7: “The LORD is good, A stronghold in the day of trouble; And He knows those who trust in Him.” – (NKJV)

The Apostle Andrew

The Apostle Andrew

The church remembers the Apostle Andrew on November 30th. Andrew was one of the more familiar disciples, but as we dig into the life of this apostle, there may be a few details that you were not aware or did not remember. He was the brother of Peter, but was first a disciple of John the Baptizer and the one who introduced Peter to Jesus. He was a fisherman from the city of Bethsaida, was a witness of the Savior’s ministry and resurrection. Tradition holds that he was crucified on an X shaped cross, which has become known as St. Andrew’s Cross. Join us as we dig into the Bible and other historical information to learn about this disciple of Jesus and as we apply what we learn to our own lives today!

25. Isaiah Summary Verse

25. Isaiah Summary Verse

Isaiah is the longest prophetic work in the Old Testament. He condemns the externalism of the people, but he also proclaims a message of hope. Jesus is found in many beautiful pictures in Isaiah. Our summary verse is from Isaiah 9:6: “For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” – (NKJV) Why this Christmas text? Because Isaiah points to the promised Child Who fulfills God’s promises and the One who takes us from the Garden of Eden to Garden of Gethsemane.

23. Amos SummaryVerse

23. Amos SummaryVerse

Amos was sent by God from Judah to Israel to declare God’s judgment on those who rejected Him: Syria, Philistia, Phoenicia, Edom, Ammon, Moab, Judah and finally Israel. They were prosperous, but they forsook the LORD. Amos reminds us that the LORD alone is God and is to be worship. Our summary verse is from Amos 4:13: “For behold, He who forms mountains, And creates the wind, Who declares to man what his thought is, And makes the morning darkness, Who treads the high places of the earth — The LORD God of hosts is His name.” – (NKJV)

22. Jonah Summary Verse

22. Jonah Summary Verse

Jonah is one of the more familiar prophets of the Old Testament, but was not the best example. He is often called the reluctant prophet, because he didn’t want to go to Nineveh where the LORD sent him. So what can we learn from this reluctant missionary? First, that God desires the salvation of all people. Second that we are not to determine if someone is worthy of the Gospel, but to preach the word and let the Spirit do the work. Our summary verse is from Jonah 4:2: “I know that You are a gracious and merciful God, slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness.” –  (NKJV)
