Episode The 12... Minor Prophets | Week 2
There is a section of scripture in the Old Testament that most of us rarely turn to—the Minor Prophets. These prophets have come to be known as the minor prophets, not because they are of minor importance, but because of their shorter length in contrast to the major prophets (Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel, Daniel). We’ll take several weeks to get an overview of these important, yet often overlooked, twelve Old Testament books.

Did you know that the book of Matthew isn’t the first time we hear of Jesus’ birth? In fact, many were told hundreds of years in advance that it would happen!

We may enjoy watching our favorite shows over and over again, but one thing about them—they always end the same way. In today’s conversation, the Discover the Word team explores the prophet Nahum’s words of warning to Nineveh . . . 150 years after the Ninevites heard them the first time. Would this rerun turn out the same way?
Chapter 9
Compared to the other Minor Prophets, Habakkuk certainly had a different way of going about things. But that’s what makes him so relatable! Explore how God chooses to respond to the many questions raised by Habakkuk . . . and how they are similar to the ones that we constantly ask today.
