Prophets of Doom: Reading the Old Testament Prophets

4 Weeks
Prophets of Doom: Reading the Old Testament Prophets
Big Idea of the Series

The Minor Prophets weren’t exactly known for their cheery messages. These short Old Testament books provide the faithfully delivered call to repentance to Israel and to the nations. Their call to abandon idolatry, embrace God’s heart of mercy, rejoice in the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, and anticipate God’s coming judgment and kingdom still resonate in our world today. In this four-week series, we’ll examine one passage from four different Minor Prophets that conveys the essence of that prophet’s message.

What is the Series Guide?
Included in each guide is:
  • A sermon series outline that breaks up the teaching set into a specific number of weeks.
  • A "big idea" of the series.
  • A passage, "big idea" of the sermon, topic list, and a number of illustrations and talking point ideas are included in each weekly section. The "Sermon Ideas and Talking Points" area is filled with observations about the text, relevant applications, creative ideas, and illustrations.
  • A small group discussion (located in a separate document in this bundle).
What is the Series Guide Not?
  • This guide isn't a set of sermon manuscripts. While sermon manuscripts can be both useful and a powerful training tool, our sermon series guides are different. Rather than tell you what to say, our aim is for this material to spark your imagination, assist you in planning your sermon, and offer a boost to your study time.
  • This guide isn't ironclad. While we hope you use our material, the pieces of this document are designed to be moved, tweaked, and altered. As you study the suggested passages, and pray through your message, this guide will hopefully be a launching pad, rather than a landing net.
How Do I Use this Series Guide?
  • Plan ahead. Our guides are best utilized in advance versus the day or night before. Read over the ideas and illustrations provided, thinking through how you can possibly utilize them in your message. We've purposely kept our guides simple so as to give you the best opportunity to create your own, unique message.
  • While we give you a passage and "big idea" of the message, take time to study the text.
  • Utilize the media contained in this bundle to promote and communicate your series message.
