Jeremiah is one of the more familiar prophets in the Old Testament. He ministered at the end of the kingdom of Judah and during the beginning of the Babylonian Captivity. He had a difficult task calling God's people to repentance and being rejected by the people, kings and even the religious leaders. But God's Word fortified him for the task, and he served the LORD faithfully! Our summary verse is from Jeremiah 15:16: “Your words were found, and I ate them, And Your word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart; For I am called by Your name, O LORD God of hosts.” – (NKJV)

Nahum prophesies the destruction of Nineveh and the Assyrians and comforts God's people that He is in control, that He is good and is our protection. This is a comforting assurance that the LORD is our refuge and strength through the troubles of this life. Our summary verse is from Nahum 1:7: “The LORD is good, A stronghold in the day of trouble; And He knows those who trust in Him.” – (NKJV)

Andrew was one of the more familiar disciples, but as we dig into the life of this apostle, there may be a few details that you were not aware or did not remember. He was the brother of Peter, but was first a disciple of John the Baptizer and the one who introduced Peter to Jesus.

Tradition holds that he was crucified on an X shaped cross, which has become known as St. Andrew's Cross.

What do you remember about the prophet Zephaniah? Many may know nothing more than his name. But the words of the prophet Zephaniah who ministered to the people of Judah during the reign of good king Josiah are also intended for us. Zephaniah proclaims the "day of the LORD" and His judgment against sin, especially that of idolatry. He reveals that we are just as guilty as the people of his day.
