Life Lessons from Zephaniah


1.  The day of the LORD will come because of sin (1:14-18; Hebrews 10:26-27).

2.  Materialism breeds indifference and results in judgment (1:12-13, 18; 1 Timothy 6:6-10,17-19).

3.  It is possible to escape the judgment of God ((2:1-3; 3:12-13; 2 Peter 3:9).

4.  Our God and Father longs for His people to be one (3:9; Ephesians 2:14-22).

5.  The coming of the Messiah will be cause for praise and singing (3:14-20; Revelation 22:20). 

Conclusion:  Read Zephaniah and listen carefully to the words of judgment, but be encouraged by the words of hope and resolve to be part of that faithful remnant!
