This is the intro sermon for my summer series on the Book of the Twelve- often called the Minor Prophets. I plan to do an overview of each book every week. There will be some gaps throughout the summer for special Sundays or days I am on vacation. For this intro sermon, I do a quick introduction to the Old Testament, give a big picture overview of Israel's history in the OT, and then look at what prophets do in the Bible.
