Michael teaches an overview of the book of Nahum.

Nahum delivered a potent decree of God's judgment in three short chapters. His message is clear: God is indeed a God of wrath.

Is it possible, however, that God's wrath demonstrates His love?

Michael teaches an overview of the book of Micah.

One of the features of the book of Micah that sets this prophet apart is his audience.

Isaiah prophesied to kings and princes, but Micah prophesied in the country - a more rural prophet. But his message aligns with the over-arching message of most of the prophets: a reminder of God's Word, His coming judgment, and His gracious goodness.

Dr. David T. Lamb returns to inContext to talk about a book many of us have been familiar with since childhood.

In Dr. Lamb's word: It's easy to make fun of Jonah, but I'd encourage us to be able to somehow see ourselves in Jonah and the ways that we resist God's lead.

How am I like Jonah?

How can I be open to God's leading?

How can I love my enemies?

Our thanks to Dr. Lamb for his time and expertise!

Dr. Mark Chavalas joins us at inContext again, this time to discuss the Minor Prophet Obadiah.

As always, the historical context Dr. Chavalas brings helps us to wrap our minds around the bigger picture. In this case, he reminds us that we can expect God to be the same today that He was when this book was written: He is faithful and He is just.

Michael teaches an overview of the book of Obadiah.

Hard to believe we're 31 books into our series The Big Book–Cover to Cover. This week we look at the book of Obadiah.
