He died on behalf of sinners and paid the penalty of our sin. God raised him from the dead on the third day • The disciples were told of this before it ...read more

Although the book of Nahum can be challenging to read and preach from, it is important to note that the minor prophets' messages are just as significant as those of the major prophets. The book ...read more
