| 1 | Old Testament Books | Minor Prophets | Habakkuk | (Habakkuk 01) Introduction to the Singing Faith | 3515 | The crisis in Habakkuk is a person one in the prophet's heart. The theme is the power of suffering (or struggling) faith; "Lord, I believe; help my unbelief." The prophet's questions revealed a heart that had a low view of God; God answered his heart by a revelation of Himself. | Ed Miller | Habakkuk_01IntroSingingFaith.mp3 | Habakkuk | ||||||
| 2 | Old Testament Books | Minor Prophets | Habakkuk | (Habakkuk 02) Chapter 1: Frustration | 3515 | Habbakkuk's faith was unclear and frustrated because he was trying to line up the ways of God with human logic. Ed shares 6 wonderful principles about things that are hard to understand, such as realizing that the burdens of my heart are from the Lord, God is active, and God's character is a resting place for everything God does. God has a perfect timetable for all His promises that tests our faith by all of this. | Ed Miller | Habakkuk_02.mp3 | Habakkuk 1:1-2:3 | ||||||
| 3 | Old Testament Books | Minor Prophets | Habakkuk | (Habakkuk 03) Chapter 2: Faith | 3515 | The great truths of Habakkuk chapter two are God's assertions "I am working" and "It will come". Humble faith leads to life but pride contains the seeds of destruction that are actually self-destructing. NOTE: The message only contains the first 57 minutes. | Ed Miller | Habakkuk_03.mp3 | Habakkuk 2 | ||||||
| 4 | Old Testament Books | Minor Prophets | Habakkuk | (Habakkuk 04) Conclusion: Song | 3515 | How do I get from frustration (Habakkuk chapter 1) to a song of triumphant faith (Habakkuk chapter 3)? It's through the simple step of faith (chapter 2). Ed shares four reasons why the prophet could sing a triumphant song, such as God's unchanging nature, God's redemptive dealings and joy being independent from circumstances. | Ed Miller | Habakkuk_04_Retought.mp3 | Habakkuk 3 | ||||||
| 5 | Old Testament Books | Minor Prophets | Haggai | (Haggai 01) Introduction & Overview | 3519 | Haggai is the first of the "post-exilic" prophets with a message from God to a victorious people who wanted to go all the way with God, had a temple foundation, but had stopped building upon it. The one message with 4 parts announces the encouraging news that the LORD of the armies of heaven and earth will deliver you completely from everything that stands in the way of getting the temple (the church) finished! | Ed Miller | Haggai_01IntroOverview.mp3 | Haggai | ||||||
| 6 | Old Testament Books | Minor Prophets | Haggai | (Haggai 02) Overview of Book Principles | 3519 | God intends the rebuilding of the temple to be a picture of the people of God. The first message points to that which always causes an incomplete temple: self-seeking. God responded by sending a famine not of water but of satisfaction; all the properity continued but was accompanied by a discontented spirit. What makes the temple glorious is not externals (gold, silver, revivals of the past); it's when Jesus, the Desire of All Nations, comes to dwell in His temple. The final message proclaims that God will make you as a signet ring on His hand that everywhere you go is marked by, "The King has been here". | Ed Miller | Haggai_02OverviewOfBook_Principle.mp3 | Haggai | ||||||
| 7 | Old Testament Books | Minor Prophets | Haggai | (Haggai 03) Chapter 1 | 3519 | Only one thing will keep me from a completed temple: building for self. God's battle plan for those who build for self is always sending a famine of satisfaction. The human impossibility to rebuild the temple reveals our helplessness to fall down in adoring worship and reveals God's enablement to perform what He requires. | Ed Miller | Haggai_03Chap01.mp3 | Haggai 1 | ||||||
| 8 | Old Testament Books | Minor Prophets | Haggai | (Haggai 04) Chapter 2:1-9 Christ the Desire | 3519 | Though Zerubbabel's temple lacked the precious stones, the Ark of the Covenant, the Shekinah glory cloud, the Urim & Thummim, and the supernatural fire on the altar, the real glory is the Lord Himself. What makes the church corporately or us individually glorious is Christ Himself, not any external or outward adornment. Until Christ becomes "The Desire" of your heart, then you can't become a completed temple. It's not about His gifts, but about Himself. | Ed Miller | Haggai_04Chap02_1-9.mp3 | Haggai 2:1-9 | ||||||
| 9 | Old Testament Books | Minor Prophets | Haggai | (Haggai 05) Chapter 2:10-23 Conclusion | 3519 | After the Lord is your chief desire, what comes next? A life of blessing, fruitfulness and holiness! No one is made holy by touching holy things; it's only when Christ is the desire of your heart. The negative side is that when Christ is not the desire, then my "uncompleted temple" is the corpse, fully developed in the New Testament in 1 Corinthians 13 as anything done without love as a clanging cymbal to God. | Ed Miller | Haggai_05Chap02_Conclusion.mp3 | Haggai 2:10-23 | ||||||
| 10 | Old Testament Books | Minor Prophets | Hosea | (Hosea 01) Introduction to the Minor Prophets & Hosea | 3501 | The Minor Prophets as a whole are "remnant books", have triumphant conclusions, and move towards consummation by emphasizing Christ's Second Coming. Hosea is a book about brokenhearted love on an earthly level with Hosea and his unfaithful wife and on a heavenly level with the LORD and unfaithful Israel. Hosea uses strong, shocking language of whoredom to drive home the point of the filthiness of sin. | Ed Miller | Hosea_01IntroToProphets.mp3 | Hosea | ||||||
| 11 | Old Testament Books | Minor Prophets | Hosea | Hosea 02 Introduction Chapter 1-2 | 3501 | Ed Miller | Hosea_02IntroChap1-2.mp3 | ||||||||
| 12 | Old Testament Books | Minor Prophets | Hosea | (Hosea 03) Chapters 4-13 | 3501 | Hosea 4-13 depicts the enormity of the sins of Israel because of the severity of God's judgment. His judgment fell on all three parts of creation. God works as a moth or a lion when it's needed. God's severe judgment is finally illustrated by the graphic descriptions of the slaughter. | Ed Miller | Hosea_03.mp3 | Hosea 4-13 | ||||||
| 13 | Old Testament Books | Minor Prophets | Hosea | (Hosea 04) Chapters 4-7 | 3501 | The very essence of whoredom is not living in deep fellowship with the Lord. God's smitings are only temporary for those who return to the Lord. Chapter 7 warns against the "unequal yoke" as nauseating to the Lord, devouring strength, and destroying understanding. | Ed Miller | Hosea_04Chap4-7.mp3 | Hosea 4-7 | ||||||
| 14 | Old Testament Books | Minor Prophets | Hosea | (Hosea 05) Chapters 8-14: God's Persistent Love | 3501 | One of the strongest passages on the judgment of God (reaping the whirlwind in Hosea 8:7) reveals a principle of life. The birdseye view of chapters 11-14 is upon the love of the Lord. God's persistent love is one that keeps on loving in the face of persistent unresponsiveness in man. | Ed Miller | Hosea_05.mp3 | Hosea 8-14 | ||||||
| 15 | Old Testament Books | Minor Prophets | Hosea | (Hosea 06) Chapters 11-14: Restoration | 3501 | Israel is a type of Christ (Hosea 11:1) in suffering, exaltation and as a channel of redemption. God calls to repentance by comparisons and contrasts in order to humble us. Chapter 14 summarizes the whole book in the wonders of God's transforming love through restoration. Restoration is simple, complete, by pure grace, greater usefulness, and a mighty miracle of God. | Ed Miller | Hosea_06Chap11-14_Restoration.mp3 | Hosea 11-14 | ||||||
| 16 | Old Testament Books | Minor Prophets | Hosea | (Hosea 07) Chapters 4-7 | 3501 | Hosea 4-7 zoom in on God's mercy--His goodness confronting human need. Chapter 4 develops the brokenheart love of God as the Holy One who has been jilted. Chapter 5 says the Holy One must leave. In chapter 6 the Holy God has a problem: He wants to receive them but His holiness says no. Chapter 7 shows how Israel didn't even know they had backslidden by getting their eyes off Jesus Christ. | Ed Miller | Hosea_07.mp3 | Hosea 4-7 | ||||||
| 17 | Old Testament Books | Minor Prophets | Hosea | (Hosea 08) Chapters 10-14: Conclusion | 3501 | Israel had turned from reality to religion, misplacing the Lord (chapter 8), rejecting God's messengers (chapter 9), and producing fruit only for themselves (chapter 10). The heartbeat of God through Hosea is His love that is in turmoil to give them up yet justly deal with their sin. Our hope for returning to the Lord is His first turning to us. The deeper the plunge into sin, the more God's lovingkindness is glorified in the restoration! | Ed Miller | Hosea_08Chap10-14Conclusion.mp3 | Hosea 10-14 | ||||||
| 18 | Old Testament Books | Minor Prophets | Joel | (Joel 01) Introduction: Sovereignty of God | 3503 | Joel is the most complete summary of the sovereignty of God in the Bible. Joel emphasizes LORD, God's more personal and redemptive name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Prophecy has not only an immediate fulfillment and ultimate fulfillment, but a present tense fulfillment as an age-abiding principle. God has an intimate rule for those who want Him to. | Ed Miller | Joel_01Intro.mp3 | Joel | ||||||
| 19 | Old Testament Books | Minor Prophets | Joel | (Joel 02) Chapter 1:1-2:11 Locusts and Drought | 3503 | Joel was written to make us "Day of the Lord Christians", ones who enter into the activity of God by experiencing a foretaste of future glory. God sends the locusts to bring repantance; He sends repentance that you might know the fullness Holy Spirit. The rod of God drives us to God Himself. | Ed Miller | Joel_02Intro.mp3 | Joel 1:1-2:11 | ||||||
| 20 | Old Testament Books | Minor Prophets | Joel | (Joel 03) Chapter 2:12-17 Repentance | 3503 | The locusts are a picture of God's dealing with judgment to men to bring about repentance. When men will not listen to God's quiet tones of tender mercies, then He speaks in loud tones of severe judgment. God "raises His voice" because it leads to repentance. These locusts show the greatness of God who uses tiny insignificant creatures in order to achieve deliverance. | Ed Miller | Joel_03.mp3 | Joel 2:12-17 | ||||||
| 21 | Old Testament Books | Minor Prophets | Joel | (Joel 04) Chapter 2:18-32 Pentecost | 3503 | The Lord will manifest His sovereignty by pouring out His Spirit (Pentecost) and by bringing deliverance from sin and judgment. The outpouring of the Spirit in Acts 2 was just a shower; when Christ comes it's going to be a downpour! | Ed Miller | Joel_04.mp3 | Joel 2:18-32 | ||||||
| 22 | Old Testament Books | Minor Prophets | Joel | (Joel 05) Chapter 3 Victory | 3503 | Joel 3 is seed form of the final great battle of Armaggedon in Revelation 19 when God finally wins the decision over His enemies. The present principles of God's victory are freedom from 100% of my enemies, patient waiting upon the Lord, resting in the Lord in every adverse circumstance, and spiritual fruitfulness. The goal of God's sovereignty is the Lord dwelling in the midst of a cleansed people! | Ed Miller | Joel_05_Conclusion.mp3 | Joel 3 | ||||||
| 23 | Old Testament Books | Minor Prophets | Malachi | (Malachi 01) Introduction | 3523 | The book of Malachi serves both as an ending for the Old Testament and an introduction to the New Testament. Unlike all other prophets who dealt with an external crisis (i.e. invading armies), Malachi deals with a crisis that is internal: God hasn't spoken in a long, long time. Through the prophet God speaks personally and directly to His people in a severe tenderness to answer the whispers of the heart. | Ed Miller | Malachi_01Intro.mp3 | Malachi | ||||||
| 24 | Old Testament Books | Minor Prophets | Malachi | (Malachi 02) Malachi 1: I Have Loved You | 3523 | What happens in the heart of God when His people begin to grow formal and mechanical? The first heart whisper God addresses is holding His love in suspicion. The way God dealt with their brother Esau in hate pointed ahead to that judgment that fell upon the Lord Jesus on the cross. The second heart whisper that every heart priest is vulnerable to has its symptoms of joyless service in the work of the Lord. | Ed Miller | Malachi_02IHaveLovedYou.mp3 | Malachi 1 | ||||||
| 25 | Old Testament Books | Minor Prophets | Malachi | (Malachi 03) Malachi 1-2: Defiling the Table & Dividing the Redeemed | 3523 | The second whisper of the heart troubling the people of God centered upon a broken relationship to God. The goal of ministry is the pleasure of the LORD but the work became a burden because the Lord's work became "their work". The third heart whisper involved treachery in family relationships. Whenever we have conflict with another, our problem is not that person but with Jesus. If we're right with the Lord, we'll be right with man. | Ed Miller | Malachi_03DefilingTheTableDividingTheRedeemed.mp3 | Malachi 1-2 | ||||||
| 26 | Old Testament Books | Minor Prophets | Malachi | Malachi 04 The Ways, The Faithfulness, and The Glory Of God | 3523 | Ed Miller | Malachi_04TheWaysFaithfulnessGloryOfGod.mp3 | ||||||||
| 27 | Old Testament Books | Minor Prophets | Micah | (Micah 01) Introduction | 3511 | The message of Micah is to give us a hatred for rebellion and a passion for Christ to rule our lives. 4 general impressions of the book are 1) filled with Messianic thoughts; 2) very strong language for social justice; 3) contrasts; and 4) severe judgments predicted. Micah's 3 sermons follow a pattern of sin, judgment and mercy, and by the end of the book, sin is swallowed up in mercy! | Ed Miller | Micah_01Intro.mp3 | Micah | ||||||
| 28 | Old Testament Books | Minor Prophets | Micah | (Micah 02) Chapters 1-2 | 3511 | The first of Micah's 3 sermons points us to victory through "the Breaker". Chapter 1 pictures idolatry as a wrong relationship to God. Micah makes plays on words on the 12 weird towns of God's judgment on their sins as mirrors of Israel's own sins that predict coming judgment too. If I'm wrong with God (chapter 1), I'm also wrong with men (chapter 2), given in 5 pictures of the rebellious heart. The mercy of God is in Christ the Breaker. Every impossible situation that God allows in your life is His opportunity for you to know Him as the Breaker. | Ed Miller | Micah_02Chap01_02.mp3 | Micah 1-2 | ||||||
| 29 | Old Testament Books | Minor Prophets | Micah | (Micah 03) Chapters 3-5 | 3511 | The message of Micah 3 through 5 is to lift their eyes from the inglorious present and to put their eyes on the Lord who will do something in the glorious future. Blessing not only follows affliction but comes OUT OF affliction. Everything that weakens you and brings you low is a forward step in the knowledge of God. Though God has to judge because of sin, judgment is not on His heart; He can't stop talking about the mercy of God! | Ed Miller | Micah_03Chap03-05.mp3 | Micah 3-5 | ||||||
| 30 | Old Testament Books | Minor Prophets | Micah | (Micah 04) Chapters 6-7 Conclusion | 3511 | Christ is prophesied as the King of the Messianic Age (4:1-5), contrasting present shame with future glory. The implication is that if you let Jesus reign now, you don't have to wait until the Millenium to enjoy a foretaste of glory. Great pictures of Christ in 5:1-5 include the Smitten One, the Everlasting Ruler, the God-appointed Ruler, and our Peace. God lays bare His heart in the last of 3 sermons promising future mercy in the Royal Shepherd. | Ed Miller | Micah_04Chap06-07_Spliced.mp3 | Micah 6-7 | ||||||
| 31 | Old Testament Books | Minor Prophets | Obadiah | Obadiah 01 Introduction | 3507 | Ed Miller | Obadiah_01Intro.mp3 | ||||||||
| 32 | Old Testament Books | Minor Prophets | Obadiah | Obadiah 02 Pride | 3507 | Ed Miller | Obadiah_02Pride.mp3 | ||||||||
| 33 | Old Testament Books | Minor Prophets | Obadiah | Obadiah 03 Conclusion | 3507 | Ed Miller | Obadiah_03Conclusion.mp3 | ||||||||
| 34 | Old Testament Books | Minor Prophets | Zechariah | (Zechariah 01) Introduction | 3521 | The people of God had ceased building the temple not because of rebellion but because of being swallowed up with the busyness of life. If you've ever been discouraged, Zechariah puts his finger on the eight things that can possibly cause a spirit of heaviness in God's people. This book, being the most Messianic book of the minor prophets and "the most New Testament book in the Old Testament", gives the revelation of Christ we all need. | Ed Miller | Zechariah_01Intro.mp3 | Zechariah 1 | ||||||
| 35 | Old Testament Books | Minor Prophets | Zechariah | (Zechariah 02) Chapter 01 | 3521 | Before there can be encouragement, there has to be a willingness to be right with God. The first vision points us to Christ always being there; we've got to know in our hearts that God is active. The second vision encourages us that God has tailor made resolutions (smiths) for every problem (horn) you'll ever face! | Ed Miller | Zechariah_02Chap01.mp3 | Zechariah 1 | ||||||
| 36 | Old Testament Books | Minor Prophets | Zechariah | (Zechariah 03) Chapter 2-3 | 3521 | When God is a wall all around me, it means that I am in God. When we try to put a "tape measure" around God, we limit Him and get discouraged. The vision of the wonderful cleansing of Joshua the high priest frees us from living in the the spirit of condemnation. Our failure doesn't make us any less dear to the Lord. | Ed Miller | Zechariah_03Chap2-3.mp3 | Zechariah 2 - 3 | ||||||
| 37 | Old Testament Books | Minor Prophets | Zechariah | (Zechariah 04) Chapter 04 | 3521 | Another reason for discouragement is taking upon oneself the burden of being God's testimony (the temple) in the world. Nothing will lift the spirit of heaviness faster than a revelation of God's total adequacy in terms of the Great Commission. True servants of the Lord are not the gifted and talented ones with great libraries and mastery of Greek and Hebrew but the sons and daughters of fresh oil--the Holy Spirit! | Ed Miller | Zechariah_04Chap04.mp3 | Zechariah 4 | ||||||
| 38 | Old Testament Books | Minor Prophets | Zechariah | (Zechariah 05) Chapter 5 | 3521 | The vision of the flying scroll (the Word of God) appears at first not all that encouraging, but it points toward God's heart that every stain of unreality will be purged out of my life. The next vision of the woman called wickedness in the basket deals with discouragement about my inward tendencies toward sin. God will deal with this "factory of sin" within us, not just the liquor bottles (acts of sin) that are manifesting. | Ed Miller | Zechariah_05Chap5.mp3 | Zechariah 5 | ||||||
| 39 | Old Testament Books | Minor Prophets | Zechariah | (Zechariah 06) Chapter 06 | 3521 | What was discouraging the remnant from temple building? God's ways. This final vision of the horses and chariots encourages us to trust in God's sovereignty, that even our enemies are fighting for us. The symbolic crowning of Joshua the high priest illustrates that as we spend all of our time crowning Christ, He (the Branch) will build our temple, our spiritual lives. | Ed Miller | Zechariah_06Chap06.mp3 | Zechariah 6 | ||||||
| 40 | Old Testament Books | Minor Prophets | Zechariah | (Zechariah 07) Chapter 7 | 3521 | The question about fasting at its root was not about fasting or not fasting but whether it was really done for God. God delights in inward reality, not outward formality. Fasting is a picture, and once you get the reality, you can take or leave the pictures. | Ed Miller | Zechariah_07Chap7.mp3 | Zechariah 7, Matthew 17:14-23 | ||||||
| 41 | Old Testament Books | Minor Prophets | Zechariah | (Zechariah 08) Chapter 08 | 3521 | Since chapter 8 marks the start of the prophecy sections of the book, Ed takes time to share on the four approaches Christians take to prophecy. What does your life look like after you've crowned Christ as King? | Ed Miller | Zechariah_08Chap08.mp3 | Zechariah 8 | ||||||
| 42 | Old Testament Books | Minor Prophets | Zechariah | (Zechariah 09) Chapter 9-11 | 3521 | Shepherd-kings must live after the pattern of the Shepherd-King--Christ. Ed expounds upon the characteristics of God's people reigning as shepherd-kings, such as being instruments of the Lord, being victorious over our enemies, and radiating with His beauties. "The true shepherd," remarks Ed, "wants to bring sheep deeper into the grace of God and unity of the Body." | Ed Miller | Zechariah_09Chap9-11.mp3 | Zechariah 9-11 | ||||||
| 43 | Old Testament Books | Minor Prophets | Zechariah | (Zechariah 10) Chapter 12-14 | 3521 | Chapter 12 is describing the final victory, Israel's day of atonement when the whole nation will enter the veil. Ed shares 6 big principles about "in that day" that are vital to see in our Christian experience. | Ed Miller | Zechariah_10Chap12-14.mp3 | Zechariah 12-14 | ||||||
| 44 | Old Testament Books | Minor Prophets | Zephaniah | (Zephaniah 01) Chapters 1-3 Final | 3517 | Zephaniah prophesied at a time of great outward revival but not in reality of heart. In this "hottest of all the prophetic books", Zephaniah mingles severity and the tenderness of God. The main message is that the Lord Jesus is a hiding place from all your enemies for righteousness and holiness. A remnant that will hide themselves in the Lord will become a testimony to the world through their hiding. | Ed Miller | Zephaniah_01_01-03Final.mp3 | Zephaniah | ||||||
| 45 | Old Testament Books | Minor Prophets | Jonah Hashu | (Jonah 01) Introduction to the Signs | 3509 | The theme of Jonah revolves around a crisis in the prophet's heart. How Jonah felt about the heathen was a problem, but the crisis centered upon how God turned this prophet into a sign (and how He wants to do the same for each of us!) | Ed Miller | Hashawha2001_01Chap01Surrender.mp3 | Jonah, Matthew 12:39-41 | ||||||
| 46 | Old Testament Books | Minor Prophets | Jonah Hashu | (Jonah 02) Chapter 1: Surrender | 3509 | God's personal dealing with the crisis going on in Jonah's heart was to bring him to the place of full surrender. The real issue was that God wanted to go to Nineveh in Jonah and make him a sign, so Jonah had to "die". God knows how to throw a perfect storm at His rebellious child to recover him! | Ed Miller | Hashawha2001_02IntroTheSign.mp3 | Jonah 1 | ||||||
| 47 | Old Testament Books | Minor Prophets | Jonah Hashu | (Jonah 03) Chapter 2: Pure Grace | 3509 | The second step in Jonah becoming a sign was the great miracle of God's mercy on Jonah to give him a heart like His! Our Lord Jesus put Jonah in the shoes of the heathen, using the belly of the great fish to show him the wrath HE deserved. A missionary who has been made into a sign is not some hero who goes to rescue the cannibal but stands on the same level ground in need of God's mercy. What was poetry for Jonah in his expressions of being cast off from God were quite literally true of Jesus on the cross! | Ed Miller | Hashawha2001_03Chap02PureGrace.mp3 | Jonah 2 | ||||||
| 48 | Old Testament Books | Minor Prophets | Jonah Hashu | (Jonah 04) Chapter 3: Resurrection Life | 3509 | The Ninevites had the Gospel in seed form--Jonah's sermon contained the wrath of God on sin and Jonah's person exhibited the cross, picturing Christ in His death, burial and resurrection. When the lost see Christ, that's the sign of Jonah! Occupy yourself with Christ and God will make you the sign as He works in you and sets you free. | Ed Miller | Hashawha2001_04Chap03ResurrectionLife.mp3 | Jonah 3 | ||||||
| 49 | Old Testament Books | Minor Prophets | Jonah Hashu | (Jonah 05) Chapter 4: Satisfaction Of God | 3509 | The fact that the book of Jonah continues past the mighty moral miracle of the repentance of the Ninevites invites us to consider what the theme of the book really is. Jonah had issues about results, reputation, theology and understanding. God used the blighted gourd to work the final change in Jonah: the goal is God's joy and satisfying the heart of God! | Ed Miller | Hashawha2001_05Chap04_SatisfactionOfGod.mp3 | Jonah 4 | ||||||
| 50 | Old Testament Books | Minor Prophets | Jonah | Hashawha2001 01 Chap01 Surrender | Ed Miller | Hashawha2001_01Chap01Surrender.mp3 |
