Uncomfortable Truths: Why we need the prophets

by Pastor Paul Dugan

“Everyone more or less believes in God. But most of us do our best to keep God on the margins of our lives or, failing that, refashion God to suit our convenience. Prophets insist that God is the sovereign center, not off in the wings awaiting our beck and call. And prophets insist that we deal with God as God reveals himself, not as we imagine him to be. These men and women woke people up to the sovereign presence of God in their lives. They yelled, they wept, they rebuked, they soothed, they challenged, they comforted. They used words with power and imagination, whether blunt or subtle.” (Peterson, Eugene H.. The Message Remix New Testament (p. 1160). NAVPress)

How to get the most from this Sunday’s sermon, from the lesser know prophet Zephaniah:

  1. Pray for the Holy Spirit to prepare us all to hear the Word of God in worship.

  2. Watch the five minute video overview from the Bible Project HERE.

  3. Take ten minutes to listen to the entire book in one sitting HERE.
