Why should Christians study the Minor Prophets?

What can we learn from the last twelve books of the Old Testament? From our 2023 National Conference, Derek Thomas explains the importance of the Minor Prophets for our understanding of redemptive history.

“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”
2 Timothy 2:15

Our church is studying the minor prophets right now. Such a blessing!

The New Testament has so many references to the books of these prophets that to overlook them is to miss so much of the context of the New Testament lessons we’re learning

Outstanding! I could not agree more. As I recently have gone back through them using Jon Courson Application Commentaries God showed us so many things and all were relevant to today. God is amazing and HIS WORD abides forever!!🙏🙏🙏 3:48

Because it is part of sacred scriptures.amen brother

Is the Amos commentary cited the one by J. Alec Motyer? I've looked and that seems the closest i can find.

I have a question if you’re able;
What is the experience like when you are converted to Christ(when you get converted how do you know it’s a true conversion)?
Should a Christian usually have a conversion story?
I’ve heard it said that a true convert was ultimately always converted by the sovereign choosing of God so that there is no such thing as “going from not-saved to saved”. Do you agree with this saying?

[jaytee]

Another salvation question I just thought of if y’all can;
Could I/we get a detailed answer on what the difference is between a backslider and an apostate?
Note- in this scenario, both the backslider and the apostate are unbelievers.

*How about ''the prophet Jeremy''?*

@Derek Thomas, Jonah was not swallowed by a whale. Scripture states it was a big fish! Let's be faithful to scripture and not to our own connotations.

There is no such thing as minor or major prophets. That’s is just religious dogma. Wether God uses a prophet to do one thing or ten things they did the will of God and there is no class.
