There is no substitute for the preaching and teaching of God's Word. Each weekday on enjoying the journey, Scott Pauley leads us in a brief study of Scripture.

Today, on the weekend pulpit, we are happy to share a full-length Bible message given through Scott's pulpit ministry. These messages were recorded live in a local church or gospel event in recent days. It is our prayer that the message will be a help to you today. I'm going to take you to a book of the Bible that I think is little known.

In fact, even the book I'm going to take you to, I can't cover it all. But I want us to live in one

little book of the Bible in the Old Testament. It is referred to as a minor prophet. I don't really like the

word minor because some people get the idea that it's non-essential, but it is minor in size, it is major

in message. It is only two chapters long. Think about that. 38 verses. That's the whole book.

And so you'll be able to say when we're done, this preacher preached one whole book of the Bible to us. And I want you to open your Bible with me, if you will, to that little book. And so you'll be able to say when we're done, this preacher preached one whole book of the

Bible to us. And I want you to open your Bible with me, if you will, to that little book of

Haggiyai in your Old Testament scripture. And if you don't have a Bible with you this morning,
