Join the conversation this Sunday at 9:15 as we explore the Hebrew prophets in the Old Testament.
Who were the prophets? We hear their names often in our readings: Isaiah, Jeremiah, Amos, Hosea, Micah... But how do we understand them?
The prophets were special people, raised up by God and inspired by God to speak God's truth to a particular people in a particular place and time.
They became the conscience of the nation, of a people. And they did not live pleasant lives! They were often suspect, often persecuted, often resisted. Yet, their message still speaks to us today, the message they had about our call to return to a deeper trust and reliance on God.
The prophets sought to remind the people of who they were...and of what God's call was on their lives.
A question for us is this: What might the voice of the prophet sound like to us today?
Come explore!!
