The book of Zephaniah is a small book in the Old Testament that we often might overlook. While this was a prophecy given to the children of Israel at the time and a warning given to them by the prophet Zephaniah, this message is still applicable to us today. Zephaniah was bold to call out the Israelites for their idol worship. If they don’t return to God, Zephaniah lets them know the consequences if they don’t turn to God. Zephaniah called them out, warned them, but He also calls God’s children higher. We have to stop apologizing for raising the standard. It’s not our opinion but what God’s Word commands us to do. We are a reflection of God’s redeeming glory. Does our lifestyle show that? Zephaniah reminds them of what victory looks like if they will just turn back to God. God loves us enough that he gave us victory over His judgment through Jesus. We just have to boldly return back to God. Listen to this sermon about boldly turning to God in the first part of our Return series.
