Why should we preach the Minor Prophets?
- First, because the Minor Prophets are included in God’s Word, we should preach them as part of the “whole counsel of God.” Secondly, people in the pews drastically need more exposure to the Old Testament and, specifically, the Minor Prophets who highlight our desperate need and the Lord’s staggering mercy.
