    Zechariah - The Now and the Not Yet- Taylor

    Zechariah takes a much needed turn to the hope of Israel and Judah's future restoration after exile to Babylon. He speaks to them in the midst of pain, sorrow, and unknowing–pointing forward to a future promise as a reason for covenant faithfulness with God. This is similar to the tension we also feel after the death and resurrection of Jesus. Where the present kingdom is not yet fully fulfilled until his return. We, too, can have the hope of our future resurrection with Jesus.

    Haggai: Misplaced Priorities - Travis Mitchell

    This week we have a special guest with us! Travis Mitchell is the Pastor of Montavilla Church, a multi-cultural and multi-generational church in southeast Portland! Travis walks us through the book of Haggai, looking at its history, as well as the challenge present in the book that we can apply today, the challenge to not misplace our priorities in the things that, even if they come from the right place, seem to easily distract us from what God has for us as his followers.

    Zephaniah: Complacency - Brett

    Zephaniah warns Judah of their complacency of faith. They have turned away from their dependency on God, and moved toward building their own kingdom of self-sufficiency. This has brought them out of right relationship with God, and Zephaniah is warning that God's judgment is coming to put them back to rights, and remind them of their dependency on God.

    Habakkuk: Embrace - Brett

    Habakkuk shows us how to faithfully embrace God through the difficult times of confusion and anguish. Waiting on God means solitude with him and hearing his voice, and praising him in the midst of ambiguity and confusion.

    Nahum: Humility - Brett

    Nahum means comforter, and yet there is not much comforting about the words from the prophet. Yet upon further understanding, we realize that Nahum is speaking about the judgment of the violent nation of Assyria, which does end up being good news for the people of Judah. Nahum teaches us to be humble before God and trust that he is a just judge. He will put things back to rights in ways that we could never do on our own.

    Micah: Hear - Brett

    The prophet of Micah implores God's people to listen. Listening in the Bible is not passive, but active, as listening also includes obeying his command. This is what will lead us to righteousness with God, and right relationship with one another.

    Jonah: Mercy - John Rozelle

    The story of Jonah invites us into contemplating our relationship with God and his sovereign mercy. Do we trust how God will be merciful to those that we do not believe should receive it? Or would we rather take it for our own gain?

    Obadiah: Forgiveness - Taylor

    The book of obadiah was written as a warning of a coming Judgement for Edom, a nation that had consistently been in conflict with Israel and played a crucial part in the fall of Jerusalem at the hands of the Babylonians. This book is one that confronts us with the tension between Judgement, Forgiveness, and a hope for deliverence.
