Consider your ways... Why don't you have the life you hoped for?  Why are things going well, but you have little to show for it?  It is possible that God is trying to tell you something?  He certainly was trying to tell the Israelites through the prophet Haggai.  What do Haggai's prophecies have to tell us today?

Turns out that God wants to extend His message of grace and mercy to all of humanity.  The Book of Jonah presents a very dramatic look at God's heart for people, and how we get to play a part to help in His mission in the world. 

Don't worry, we won't tell anyone you've been avoiding those 12 books at the end of the Old Testament.  We're not judging.  However, we will be diving into 8 of them this summer and what they have to tell us about following God today.  If you need a refresher course on what the Minor Prophets are all about... check this out.
