The Message of Obadiah, Nahum and Zephaniah (eBook, ePUB)

The Kindness And Severity Of God

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Obadiah, Nahum and Zephaniah are probably among the least-read books of the Bible and are rarely preached. However, Gordon Bridger encourages us to study and apply these three Old Testament prophets for several compelling reasons.



As part of Scripture, they claim to bring a message from God and teach us some major truths:

• the importance of focusing on God, who is personal, sovereign, righteous, and loving
• facing up to sin and judgment
• responding in repentance and faith
• the hope of future salvation and restoration.

They also relate to the real world, in touch with the social and political issues of their day (the seventh century BC), as well as spiritual and moral issues: sleaze amongst political leaders, unfaithfulness of religious leaders, national and personal pride, crimes against humanity and the persecution of God's people.



Hence, these challenging books are expounded on here with clarity and conviction, tackling themes and issues that are especially relevant to today's church and world.



The Bible Speaks Today series covers every book of the Old and New Testaments, as well as Bible themes that run through the whole of Scripture. These revised editions are redesigned inside and out and have been sensitively updated with contemporary language and Bible translations to help you follow, study and teach the Bible in today's world.
