The Power of the
Prophets
From Moses to Jesus!!
A biblical prophet was someone who spoke and acted for God . . .
a bold vocation indeed. Much of the story of God and his people was
told through the words and the actions of God’s prophets. For
centuries, they called God’s people back to God and God’s ways,
often with little apparent success. In this lecture-oriented class,
we’ll look at Israel’s story through the lives, the words, and the
actions of some of Israel’s most prominent prophets. We’ll look at
the stories of Moses, Samuel, Elijah, Elisha, Isaiah, Jeremiah,
Ezekiel, Zechariah, Malachi . . . and Jesus. By learning more about
the Old Testament prophets, we’ll gain a better appreciation for
Jesus’ own prophetic work, which we’ll consider in the last week of
class.
This class is being offered in the Winter 2007 St. Andrew Academy session. You'll find here downloadable files of
