Joshua
|
Conquest
Israel takes possession of the land as Joshua leads them to follow God. Gives a history of Israel's conquering of the Promised land.

|
|
Judges
|
Cycles
A spiraling cycle of Israel’s disobedience and God’s gracious intercession. Shows that God's judgment against sin is certain, and his forgiveness of sin and restoration of relationship is just as certain for those whom he loves. The account of Israel from the conquest of Canaan to the judgeship of Samuel. The book bridges the gap between the death of Joshua and the inauguration of the monarchy and shows the moral and political degradation of a people who neglected their godly heritage and compromised their-faith with the surrounding paganism. It was period in which Israel had no king and everyone did as he saw fit. 1-2 Military failure of Israel 3-16 Deliverance through judges 17-21 Moral failure of Israel |
|

Ezra
|
Return
Continues the Old Testament narrative of 2 Chronicles by showing how God fulfills his promise to return his people to the Land of Promise after seventy years of exile. This second "exodus" of the people is less impressive in that only a remnant chose to leave Babylon. Ezra relates the story of two returns from Babylon-the first under Zerubbabel to rebuild the temple and the second under Ezra to rebuild the spiritual condition of the people. 1-6 First return-Zerubbabel 33-49 Second return-Ezra |

Hosea
|
Adultery
Written to the N. Kingdom of Israel. Outwardly the nation was enjoying a time of prosperity and growth; but inwardly, moral corruption and spiritual adultery permeated the lives of the people. The prophet Hosea was instructed to marry an unfaithful wife, and he found his own life a vivid illustration of the unfaithfulness of God’s people and the faithfulness of God. Hosea repeatedly echoes the threefold message: God abhors the sins of his people; judgment is certain; but God’s love stands firm. 1-3 Hosea’s marriage 4-8 Sin and guilt 9-10 Judgment 11-14 Restoration |
|
|
Joel
|
Locusts
Disaster struck the southern kingdom of Judah in the form of a cloud of locusts. In a matter of hours, the fields were stripped bare, and the Prophet Joel seized the opportunity to proclaim God’s message. The Locusts were seen as a foreshadowing of the coming day of the Lord. In light of this, the book warns of approaching judgment, calls for repentance and gives god’s people hope of the coming day of salvation that will follow judgment 1 Day of Judgment 2-3 Day of the Lord |
|
|
Amos
|
Judgment
Addresses the excessive pursuit of luxury, self-indulgence, and oppression of the poor, which characterized the period of prosperity and success in the Northern Kingdom of Israel under Jereboam II. Israel cannot be content to be complacent about her standing before God. AS she embraces the judgment coming against the nations so she must acknowledge that she is under the same (if not higher) obligation to honor the LORD. Vision of plumb line, basket of ripe fruit- Prepare to meet your God. 1-2 announcement of judgment 3-6 reasons for judgment 7-8 visions of judgment 9 restoration of Davidic kingdom |
|
|
Obadiah
|
Doom of Edom

|
|
Jonah
|
Grace and Mercy in Nineveh
God loves the world and its people, even the godless (Nineveh) and the hardhearted (Jonah). God accomplishes his purposes despite the defects of his servants. Jonah learns that “salvation is of the Lord” (2:9), and God’s grace extends to all who respond to his message with repentance. Jewish nationalism blinds God’s covenant people to his compassion for Gentiles. God fishes for men: both the Gentile people of Nineveh and his reluctant servant Jonah. [Sources: Meek’s packet, Talk Thru the Bible, Wilkinson and Boa]. 1-2 First Commission of Jonah 3-4 Second Commission of Jonah |
|
|
Micah
|
: Lawsuit
Burdened by the abuse of the poor, the book of Micah rebukes anyone who would use social status or political power for personal gain. Micah divides into three section which 1) expose the sin of his countrymen, 2) pictures the punishment God is about to send, and 3) holds out the hope of restoration once that discipline has ended. Micah points to a restoration of God's work in Judah. Has similarities to Isaiah. 1-2 Sin and judgment 3-5 Hope and comfort 6-7 Controversy and pardon |
|
|
Nahum
|
Nineveh Falls
In contrast to Jonah, whose ministry resulted in Nineveh's repentance, the prophet Nahum proclaims the downfall of the great Assyrian city of Nineveh. The Ninevites have forgotten their revival and have returned to their habits of violence, idolatry, and arrogance. As a result, Babylon will so destroy the city that no trace of it will remain-a prophecy fulfilled in painful detail. 1 Justice--Psalm of the Lord's Majesty 2 Judgment--Dirge of Nineveh's Destruction |
|
|
Habakkuk
|
Faith
Habakkuk prophesied during the decline of Judah. Although repeatedly called to repentance, the nation stubbornly refused to change her sinful ways. Asking how long this intolerable situation would continue, Habakkuk is told by God that the Babylonians will be his chastening rod on the nation-an announcement that sends the prophet to his knees. Though perplexed, Habakkuk acknowledges that the just in any generation shall live by faith, not by sight, and he concludes by praising God's wisdom even though he doesn't fully understand God's ways. Why no justice? How can God use Babylon? 1 Complaint 2 Listening 3 Prayer |
|
|
Zephaniah
|
The Day of the Lord
Zephaniah is a minor prophet with a major interest in the appointed day of the Lord for the judgement of all humans. The book centers around the initial warning that the day of the Lord is coming and applies the coming judgement to Judah, Assyria, and several other surrounding nations. The book closes with a vision of the future of Jerusalem and the hope of blessing and solace in the Messiah. 1 Day of wrath 2 Desolation 3 Day of deliverance |
|
|
Haggai
|
Build the House of the Lord!!
Haggai confronts those who prefer to build their own “paneled houses” while the temple of God remains in a ruin state. The result of these circumstances is that the Lord has withheld blessings from the land until the priority of the Lord’s house is restored. Once work begins, God freely restores his blessings upon the people and the land. 1 Charge to rebuild and work begun 2 Exhortation to finish |
|
|
Zecheriah
|
The Messiah is Coming
Zechariah is sent by the Lord to encourage the people of God to remain diligent in their rebuilding of the temple because it will one day be the habitation of the Messiah. The majority of the book is visionary and imagistic. 1-8 Visions related to the rebuilding of the temple and spiritual renewal 9-14 Two oracles concerning the Messiah’s rejection and eventual reign. |
|
|
Malachi
|
The Messenger of the Lord
Malachi is God’s messenger to his rebellious people. His message is one of judgement and confrontation for the corruption of the priests, the self-righteousness of the people, and the generally accepted wickedness of the culture. The format of the book is dialogical, in which Malachi asks a question, the people provide an answer, and there is a response from the Lord. Some of the topics addressed in Malachi include, divorce, tithing, worship, and hypocrisy. Malachi ends with a promise of a redeemer after the fashion of the great prophet Elijah. 1 Unfit worship exposed 2 Corruption of priesthood and unfaithfulness of Judah 3 The day of Judgment promised and Improper stewardship exposed 4The Day of the Lord and the promise of a redeemer. |

|
|
James
|
Faith Expresses Itself Through Works
To expose hypocritical practices and to teach right Christian behavior. James exhorts the believer to exercise faith through good works. Faith without works cannot be called faith. Faith without works is dead, and a dead faith is worse than no faith at all. Faith must work; is must produce; mere mental assent is insufficient. Throughout his epistle to Jewish believers, James integrates true faith and everyday practical experience by stressing that true faith must manifest itself in works of faith. 1 Genuine religion 2-3 Genuine faith 3-5 Genuine wisdom |

|
|
Jude
|
: Preserve the Faith
Reminds the church of the need for constant vigilance--to keep strong in the faith and to defend in against heresy.
