    It has been said, “God didn’t call us to be successful, he called us to be faithful.” Yet in John 15, Jesus speaks of examination, inspection, and fruitfulness. He speaks of bearing fruit, more fruit, and much fruit that God maybe glorified.

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
