Micah teaches us about God's judgement for and forgiveness of sin through three cycles of sermons. Each cycle begins with judgment but ends with forgiveness and restoration. Habakkuk also teaches of God's judgment as it calls God's people to trust and joy in the just God regardless the situation. 

Both Jonah and Nahum give messages to the city of Nineveh but in very different ways. First, Jonah records the compassion that God shows to even the most undeserving people. Second and over 100 years later, Nahum warns of God's zealous judgment on Nineveh for the Assyrian's sins against God's people.

Joel, Obadiah, and Zephaniah ministered at different times to different people but share a common message: the Day of the LORD is coming! But has this Day of the LORD come or are we still expecting it to come (hint: it's a trick question)? In this podcast, we will overview the Day of the LORD and briefly look at how this day fits into the message of each of these Minor Prophets. 

You can summarize the themes of Paul's letters to the church at Corinth as unity (1 Corinthians) and ministry (2 Corinthians). Although those themes might be helpful, one of the best ways to understand Paul's message in these books  is to understand the city of Corinth. 

We must study the Song of Solomon for two reasons: to reaffirm the truth that all scripture is profitable for the believer's maturity (2 Timothy 3:16-17) and to discover what God intends for us to learn from the book. This book shows us the wisdom of God in His design of marriage. 

God is the hero and focus of the Book of Esther! He providentially protects His people by working through everyday details of life, working as His people make wise choices, and working to flip situations upside-down for the good of His people. 

Nehemiah is all about building wall, right? Yes and no. The wall mostly completed by the end of Nehemiah 4, but Nehemiah has thirteen chapters! The Book of Nehemiah teaches many lessons on restoration, human responsibility, and God's intervention. 

1 & 2 Chronicles might seem like deja vu, especially if you have recently read 1 & 2 Kings. Although the books do overlap in topic and time period, there are some distinct differences between Chronicles and Kings. When you understand those differences, you can better appreciate the key truth of Chronicles: God is faithful to His covenant throughout history!

Ecclesiastes is not vanity... even if it talks a whole lot about vanity. God gives us a divinely-inspired philosophy of life through the Book of Ecclesiastes. If we are to understand life below, we must understand what the God above says. 

Romans at last! While we may be familiar with the content of Romans, we will profit more by understanding the background and purpose to Romans. Paul wrote Romans to promote evangelism, foster unity, encourage growth in Christ, and give hope.
