Minor Prophets: Micah - The Israelites were the people of God, but they weren't really living like it. They had been blessed by God, but they didn't seem to understand why he had bothered to bless them. Micah teaches us that we’ve not only been saved from something but that we've also been saved for something. To this day, God continues his work of restoring, healing and blessing, and He invites u...

Minor Prophets: Zephaniah - If Jesus returned tomorrow, what would that mean for you? The prophet Zephaniah referred to Jesus' return as "the Day of the Lord," and he tells us that there are only two possible fates for us when that day comes.

Will Herron, director discipleship, shares with us that worship is a response to God, a way to reorient ourselves to Him, and a place of renewal.

God accused the people of giving less than their best. Our actions can hurt God or give him great delight.
