| Discovering the God of Second Chances (Jonah, Joel, Amos, Obadiah) | |
NEW
Has God given up on me?
God’s people might be tempted to ask that question at times. But the prophets ask a different question: Will the nations continue to ignore God – and suffer the consequences – or will they repent and experience God’s blessing?
God’s prophets are famous for the fiery predictions of widespread devastation, but is that the core of their message? With each description of impending judgment, these men hold out a message of hope that is as timely today as it was more than 2500 years ago: If we will turn to God, He will bless us. Regardless of what we have done, He is ready to give us another chance.
