Our August Sermon Series: The Minor Prophets with a Major League Message! Did you know that the Minor Prophets are not called minor because they are unimportant but because, as Bible historians have speculated, of the size of their books? Major Prophets like Jeremiah and Isaiah have large books (go ahead and count the pages in your Bible) and so these prophets are called the Major Prophets… because their books are simply larger, not because they are more important. Also, please note that the Major and Minor Prophets of the Old Testament do not appear in chronological order, but they are ordered in their sequence because the larger books of the prophets came first, just as in the Epistles or letters of Paul where not written in chronological order but according to their length, like Romans and 1st and 2nd Corinthians come before the shorter books of Philippians and Ephesians. The reason we call them the Minor Prophets doesn’t mean that their messages are minor. Indeed, these “minors” MAJOR in the major prophecies as we will see throughout August. I look forward to teaching on some of the twelve Minor Prophets. I say some because there are not twelve weeks in August! Oh, I will also be sharing some reflections from my Sabbatical time as well. I look forward to Sara and I rejoining you on Sunday, August 5th for a wonderful reunion time, worship and reconnecting to our Emanuel family. God bless you as you strive to serve Him daily.

Our August Sermon Series:
The Minor Prophets with a Major League Message!
Did you know that the Minor Prophets are not called minor because they are
unimportant but because, as Bible historians have speculated, of the size of their
books? Major Prophets like Jeremiah and Isaiah have large books (go ahead and
count the pages in your Bible) and so these prophets are called the Major Prophets…
because their books are simply larger, not because they are more important. Also,
please note that the Major and Minor Prophets of the Old Testament do not appear in
chronological order, but they are ordered in their sequence because the larger books
of the prophets came first, just as in the Epistles or letters of Paul where not written in
chronological order but according to their length, like Romans and 1st and 2nd
Corinthians come before the shorter books of Philippians and Ephesians. The reason
we call them the Minor Prophets doesn’t mean that their messages are minor. Indeed,
these “minors” MAJOR in the major prophecies as we will see throughout August.
I look forward to teaching on some of the twelve Minor Prophets. I say some because
there are not twelve weeks in August! Oh, I will also be sharing some reflections from
my Sabbatical time as well. I look forward to Sara and I rejoining you on Sunday,
August 5th for a wonderful reunion time, worship and reconnecting to our Emanuel
family. God bless you as you strive to serve Him daily. Pastor Chris
