How were you disciplined as a child when you misbehaved? Different parents and different generations take alternative approaches to discipline. In my era, one of the worst things a kid could hear was, “Just wait ‘til your father gets home.” Well, the Book of Zephaniah is the ultimate “just wait ‘til your father gets home” book. God’s punishment is coming. But… in the end times, there will be a remnant of believers. And that is both our challenge and our charge – to be a part of the remnant. I look forward to sharing this challenge and charge with you.

Normally it’s not wise to major on the minors – in life, relationships, government, business, etc. But that’s what our church family will be doing over the next several weeks – as these “minor” prophets are really not minor in any way other than sheer volume. Maybe you’re familiar with Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel and Daniel. But are you as familiar with Micah, Nahum, Zephaniah and Malachi? That’s where we will be heading, and I look forward to enjoying the journey with you.
