Minor Prophets

The Minor Prophets class provides a comprehensive study of all 12 Minor Prophets, beginning with a foundational understanding of what prophecy is and how God uses prophets to deliver His message. Students explore how to identify true prophecy through biblical criteria, including faithfulness to God’s Word, fulfilled predictions, and spiritual fruit. 

Throughout the course, the class examines key themes such as Israel’s sin and unfaithfulness, divine judgment, repentance, restoration, the coming Messiah, and God’s overarching plan. Special emphasis is placed on God’s character—His justice, mercy, and unfailing love—while helping students see how prophecy builds faith, encourages obedience, and keeps believers spiritually watchful and expectant.

Lessons with video and audio will be available soon.
