The Prophets

 There were countless prophets mentioned in Scripture who demonstrated their faith through obedience and boldness. They were often ill treated, ignored, and even persecuted, however the faithful ones continued to obey the Lord despite the difficulties. Join us for session twenty two as we are challenged by the prophets' obedience and boldness to continue to carry the message of the Gospel to a lost and dying world.
