People in Malachi’s day had slacked-off. Through the prophet, God sends His ‘final word’ before a 400-year silence between the testaments. Malachi’s message is just as timely for the church today!
Nehemiah weaves a fascinating study of leadership, vision, strategy, and God being glorified in the face of tremendous opposition. It also presents a wonderful Old Testament picture of Jesus Christ!
When the work of rebuilding the temple ceases, God sends Haggai & Zechariah to encourage His people. The messages contained here are relevant & timely for us as the modern-day church.
A remarkable story of courage, faith, betrayal, provision, and repentance, the Book of Ezra recounts the first wave of returning exiles to Jerusalem after the long years of the Babylonian Captivity.
The Chronicles present a retelling of Israel’s history—but from a slightly different perspective. With an emphasis on the coming Messiah and a new temple, they were meant to offer hope to God’s people as they return to their own land.

Daniel 1—7 provide some of the most amazing prophecies of scripture. Can we understand them? Join us as Pastor Kevin unpacks these relevant & timely passages!
Half of Daniel is history; the other half is prophetic. The first half is narration; the second is revelation. Today we cover Chapters 1—6 of this amazing book, ‘Daniel & His Friends’
Ezekiel serves as a type of ‘spiritual sequel’ to the Book of Jeremiah, picking-up on several of the same themes, while also speaking to important end-times events.
Jeremiah had an unpopular ministry. He heralds—and witnesses—the destruction of Jerusalem. But God has a plan to restore His people… He always does!
Habakkuk is conversation, wherein the prophet asks God the question: “WHY?” The Lord responds—not by changing Habakkuk’s circumstances—but his focus. #Bible #BibleStudy #OldTestament #CCYubaCity #Jesus #God #Church #SundayService #Worship #Discipleship #Scripture #Prophets #Habakkuk #DifficultTimes #DealingWithTrials
Both Nahum & Zephaniah bring messages of judgment upon the wicked city of Nineveh. But as the church, what lessons do we learn from these prophecies?
Continuing the Southern Prophets, Micah’s writing focuses-in on WHO Messiah will be, and WHERE He will be born: the unlikely town of Bethlehem.

Known as 'The Missionary Handbook of the Old Testament,' Jesus acknowledges Jonah was real, and that what happened to him actually happened. What are the lessons for us, as the church???
