The Book of Zechariah is the focus of the next few weeks in our Monday Message series, "The Book of The Twelve." The teachings are a deep dive into what are known as the "minor prophets." Too often these writings are relegated to also-ran status by Christians, but there is much to be learned from these writings.
As Lead Pastor, Marshall Ochs puts it, In this message, from Zechariah 1-2, the chapters call God’s people to move beyond merely rebuilding the temple and instead reorient their hearts and lives fully around the Lord, warning against the temptation to return to comfortable, worldly ways. Through visions, Zechariah reveals God’s plan to judge oppressive nations and expand Jerusalem as a city for all who will leave behind their old allegiances and follow Him. This forward-looking plan centers on Jesus, inviting everyone to forsake “Babylon,” the corrupt city of this world, and become citizens of God’s city, Jerusalem — a place of peace, freedom, and divine rule.
