Biblical Theology: Minor Prophets | God’s Mercy
We’re back in our Bible study series with Adrianna Anderson. Today we look at the minor prophets, where we see a fuller picture of God’s mercy to His people, Israel, and to the nations. There are plenty of sober warnings of judgment, but God’s mercy shines through these books as time and again the people are given chances to repent and know God as father rather than judge. God’s mercy extends to the ends of the earth, and these 12 authors drive that point home. Along the way, we also get more details on the day of the Lord and the coming Messiah. We hope you read along and are encouraged as we continue to see God’s mercy and faithfulness to all people.
Biblical Theology: Major Prophets | God’s faithfulness
Today, Adrianna and Austin are exploring the major prophets and seeing God’s plan for His people from all nations. While these books occur in the context immediately preceding and during the Exile, God’s faithfulness permeates the whole thing. We see that God has not forgotten His people or His covenant with them. We see that while He uses the nations for judgment, He remains faithful to Israel and will deliver them from the consequences of their sin. God’s faithfulness extends also to the nations, who have been a part of His plan from the beginning.
Biblical Theology: Joshua – Ruth | God’s Plan for the Nations
Adrianna Anderson is back as we continue walking through the Old Testament. These three books, Joshua, Judges, and Ruth, share the history of God’s people in the promised land. There is much history here to lament and learn from, and thankfully there is history to celebrate as well. We see the people being influenced by the nations around them, and see examples of faithfulness at the same time. Through it all, God is faithful to provide for His people.
