The Prophets: Courageous and Compassionate Faith. Jonah
Join us as we begin a new series – a survey of the Old Testament prophets. The prophets are some of the most interesting figures in the Biblical text. They lived under grueling and disillusioning circumstances – yet spoke with a powerful mix of courage and compassion to a people who often rejected what they had to say. They were the very messengers of God – tasked with calling the people of God to return to Him.
This week we’ll be introducing the prophets, and we’ll take a look at the first of the prophets we’ll be covering in this series, Jonah. Jonah is unique as a prophet in a number of ways; sent to a foreign nation, a reluctant prophet, on the run from God, seemingly at odds with God. You know the Sunday School version of this story. But who was Jonah? What was his mission? And did he accomplish it? Join us as we begin this exciting journey through the prophets together!
