Big Idea of the Series: This is a series on the Old Testament Minor Prophets. Each
week will focus on one prophet and their story or message. Common themes will run
throughout these twelve prophets in Israel’s history, and a primary theme is restoration.
Though the prophets often brought words of judgment, they also spoke words of hope
and ultimate renewal.
