During the month of July, we'll be preaching verse by verse through the Old Testament book of Zephaniah. One of the Minor Prophets, the short prophecy of Zephaniah is often overlooked because we are unfamiliar with its context and setting. But rightly understood, it succinctly contains the entire biblical storyline in 53 verses, namely sin, punishment, and restoration, leading Martin Luther to write, “Among the Minor Prophets, (Zephaniah) makes the clearest prophecies about the kingdom of Christ.”
Though the book severely warns of judgment, it also culminates in an amazing promise: "The LORD your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing."
