What's Happening at Trinity

Prophets by the Dozen

10/1/2019

When it comes to knowing your Bible, when’s the last time you read a passage out of Obadiah?  Or heard a message from Habakkuk?  Let’s face it, if you start a daily Bible Reading program on January 1 as a New Year’s Resolution, chances are pretty good you’ve gotten off track long before you made it to those obscure last 12 books of the Old Testament—known as the Minor Prophets.

Many of us, if not most, have never truly studied the Minor Prophets, which is a shame because they tell us a lot about social injustice and what God thinks about the rich and powerful taking advantage of the poor and weak—a topic certainly relevant to our times! Plus, they give us insights into what everyday life was like during Old Testament times and show us how God deals with evil—then, now, and still to come.

Starting on October 6, Jeremy Grossman will be leading a new discussion series on the Minor Prophets, “Prophets by the Dozen,” with the Earth and Stars discussion group. This new study will focus on three objectives:
  1. Improving Biblical Study Methods: How to read the Bible for all it’s worth
  2. Increasing Bible Literacy: Knowing the Who?, What?, Where?, When?, Why?, and How? of what’s going on in context
  3. Life Application: What’s in it for me?  

This discussion series will take place in two parts, with Part I starting October 6 and running through November 17:
  • October 6: Prophets by the Dozen: Introduction
  • October 13: Prophets by the Dozen: Hosea
  • October 20: Prophets by the Dozen: Joel
  • October 27: Prophets by the Dozen: Amos
  • November 3: Prophets by the Dozen: Obadiah
  • November 10: Prophets by the Dozen: Jonah
  • November 17: Prophets by the Dozen: Micah
  • November 24: no meeting

Part II of the discussion will begin after the New Year.  The group meets Sunday mornings at 9:15 in the Great Room Conference Room. Adults of all ages are welcome. Refreshments are provided and childcare/youth classes are always available.
