Due to the large amount of sermons and topics that appear on the web I feel it is necessary to place this stipulation on all sermons.
These sermons are original to the author and the leading of the Holy Spirit. While ideas and illustrations are often gleaned from many sources any similarities and wording, including sermon title, that may appear to be the same as any other sermon are purely coincidental unless otherwise noted.
Care is taken to include appropriate citations, ideas, illustrations and quotes not from the author's own presentation. These sermons are not copyrighted and may be used or preached freely. God gives them, I am privileged to share them, now you are free to use them.

Mining the Prophets
2 Peter 1:19
When John was writing about the resistance to Christ he reminded his readers that the prophets warned that would happen (John 12:37-40). Peter instructed us to look for the interconnections between the prophets, Christ and the apostles (2 Peter 1:21). We must understand the Minor Prophets if we are to understand the Christ and His Church. We "mine" them because as Minor (read Shorter) Prophets they are more concentrated than the Major (read Longer) Prophets. As Peter says in our Series Text, "We have the word of the prophets made more certain, and you will do well to pay attention to it."
