MINOR PROPHETS II
Rev Dr Quek Suan Yew
A study of the Minor Prophets will help us know more deeply how loving and merciful God is. We shall discover His prophecies and judgements, and how longsuffering He was as He dealt with the nation of Israel and the nations of this sinful world.
ECCLESIASTES
Rev Dr Prabhudas Koshy
Life without God is empty—it is “vanity and a vexation of spirit”. On the other hand, life with God is very meaningful. Ecclesiastes teaches God’s people how to live a life full of hope and joy in the face of life’s many difficulties and troubles.
CALVIN’S INSTITUTES II
Rev Dr Jeffrey Khoo
John Calvin said, “True wisdom principally consists of two parts—the knowledge of God and the knowledge of ourselves.” The study of Calvin’s Institutes is the worshipful study of God and reverential application of the divine knowledge in our daily life.
