If we consider that God is the Divine Bridegroom and the Church is his Bride, then the prophets can be seen as “spiritual marriage counselors.” They afflict the comfortable and comfort the afflicted, calling us to return to our covenant relationship with God. They urge us to repentance, warn us of the dangers of sin, and announce the blessings of faithfulness. Their prophetic words speak to us even today, as they draw us closer to our heavenly Bridegroom. Keeping that in mind, we will begin our next ten session Bible Study entitled The Prophets: Messengers of God’s Mercy, on Monday January 14 at 6:30 PM and Thursday January 17 at 10:45 AM. All sessions will be held in Rooms 5A and 5B.

· See how God is constantly calling you to a deeper relationship with him.
· Discover the areas in your life that prevent you from drawing closer to God.

· ...and much more!
