Summary
What is prophecy? John Mark dives into the prophetic books of the library of Scripture and explores what the role of the prophet is in the Old Testament. He shows us how these books are designed to wake us up from our indifference to sin and comfort us in hard situations, and challenges us to lean into God's refining fire.
Key Scripture Passages: Isaiah 1; Hosea 11v8-9; Hebrews 12v5-11; Isaiah 40v1,29-31; Isaiah 50v10; Isaiah 30v15
