Pastor Mick concludes our study in Joel's prophecy. He shares a message of the recurring themes of God's Discipline, Restoration, and Judgment - going thru parts of chapters 2-3. We see the prophetic significance to the soon coming invasions of Assyria and Babylon, on Israel and Judah respectively, as well as a reference to God's judgment of nations at the end of the age.

Pastor Mick takes us thru Joel's prophecy of 'God pouring the Spirit on all flesh', and shows the O.T. anticipation of the Spirit and the inauguration through Jesus of the Holy Spirits indwelling and filling ministries. We then land in Acts 2 where this "coming upon" experience is made available to all the followers of Christ.

This is the first message in the book of Joel in the MinorProphets2025 series. Pastor Mick leads us thru chapter 1 and a little of chapter 2, sharing about the message of warning, and the message of hope and restoration when "locusts" (or other invaders) have devastated our lives.

Pastor Mick completes the study in the book of Obadiah with ch. 1:15-21. We see both the near fulfillment in Edom's destruction in 312 BC, and the extinction of the Edomites as a result of the 70 AD Israel - Rome War. Mick emphasizes the reason of Edom's demise, namely their treacherous treatment of their blood brothers, the Israelites.

Pastor Mick opens the book of Obadiah in this study of the Minor Prophets. We see Edom called out and judgment prophesied, due largely to their despising of Israel and non-support of their own cousins. Mick tours us thru Jacob and Esau's friction, and Esau's aggressive hostility, which continued with their descendants as Judah and Edom.

Pastor Mick concludes this part of the Minor Prophets study of the book of Nahum, with chapter 3. This chapter is much like a sarcastic funeral dirge Nahum gives over the nation of Assyria in anticipation of their demise and destruction at the hands of Babylon some 38 years later.

Pastor Mick continues the Minor Prophets study of the book of Nahum, chapter two. This study looks at a historic and Biblical background overview of Assyria's threats to Judah, and the Jewish response of fear ... which turns to hope. Then we walk thru ch. 2 and the description of the highlights of Assyria's destruction that occurred some 38 years later.

Pastor Mick begins the Minor Prophets study of the book of Nahum. Today with a historic and Biblical background of Assyria's empire in relationship with their conquering of the Northern Kingdom of Israel, and their threat towards the Southern Kingdom of Judah. Mick shares thru chapter 1's message of doom to Assyria, as well as God's Compassion and Strength to those who trust and follow Him.

Pastor Mick Catron finishing the study thru the book of Jonah. We see in chapter 4 the incredible compassion and love of God, contrasted with the frustration and anger of the prophet at the repentance of the wicked Ninevites. Rather than the lost, Jonah focused his love on his temporary comfort.

Pastor Mick Catron teaching thru the book of Jonah. We see in chapter 3 the rescued Jonah is again given the assignment for go to the Assyrian capital Nineveh. But what he didn't expect to see was the revival that encompassed the Assyrians. Mick shares some perspectives on on both spiritual and coerced revival, and how this revival resulted in blessing even to the northern Kingdom of Israel.
