SERIES SUMMARY
Though we cannot see the wind, we know it by its effects and interpret it by its results. The same can be said for the work of the Hebrew prophets, who communicated God’s vision of justice and faithfulness throughout the history of God’s people. As they spoke of this vision, the wind was moving, giving us a hint of Jesus who was to come.
This series focuses on the Hebrew prophets and their message of justice, calling us to turn our attention to issues of justice in today’s world. Each week explores a different prophet or prophets, highlighting how God’s Word through them challenged the Israelite people—and us—to live out God’s vision of justice. These prophetic messages find their fulfillment in the life and ministry of Jesus, preparing the way for his teaching, healing, death, and resurrection. We will not merely study prophecies about Jesus, but will explore the continuity between the prophetic emphasis on justice and Jesus’ proclamation of the kingdom of God.

LENTEN SPIRITUAL PRACTICES
During the season of Lent (March and April) we are providing you with a series of weekly spiritual practices as a guide for this season of reflection, repentance, and renewal. Each week we will explore a different classic spiritual discipline. Spiritual disciplines are activities undertaken through our own power that open us to power beyond our own — the power of God’s Spirit. Our hope is that the weekly immersion in the life of God through these disciplines becomes a life-giving habit that extends well beyond this season of Lent.
