Thirteen contributors explain the shorter Prophetic Books of the Old Testament-Daniel, Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi-with biblical insight and pastoral wisdom, showing readers the hope that is offered even amidst judgment.

The topic of divine sovereignty is weighty and often fraught with controversy. While thinking about its implications people may ask, If God is sovereign, how does it relate to our daily lives and what we see going on in the natural world? With all the sin and suffering around us, in what sense does God reign over it? What does the Bible teach about God's rule over salvation and judgment? How is God sovereign over historical events, in particular the death of Jesus? Will his decrees for the future come to pass, or can they be thwarted? The Bible invites us to behold God's meticulous reign over all things unto his glory. His lordship is not just general or abstract but particular and comprehensive. With transcendent wisdom and uncompromising righteousness God is bringing to pass his will in the world.

The Message that Saves is the Message that Sanctifies

Christian discipleship cannot be achieved by following clever formulas or spiritual shortcuts. Believers achieve true growth by holding firmly to and continually appropriating the gospel of God s grace. While some people consider the gospel to be relevant only for conversion, the Bible teaches that the gospel is indispensable for the Christian life. The gospel must shape our discipleship. Non-gospel messages do not foster spiritual growth Faithful churches are gospel-driven churches Gospel-driven churches obey the Great Commission The marital covenant points to the New Covenant Every generation must declare the words and wonders of God Mitch Chase joins a growing group of leaders on mission to help the church rediscover the truth that the gospel isn t just the power of God to save us; it s the power of God to grow us once we re saved.
