Zephaniah speaks boldly about the sort of things people still don’t want to hear today to the kind of people who still don’t want to hear them. Nevertheless, God provides a warning before judgment falls. He doesn’t punish without the guilty knowing they can still receive mercy.

1. Idolatry is when you treat something that isn’t God as if it is.

2. Man becomes like his god.

3. God offers mercy first, but won’t delay judgment forever.
