At VGBC, we believe very strongly that God has spoken and communicated to us in the Bible. Because of this conviction, our preaching is based on God’s Word. The responsibility of the preacher is to discover what the biblical text means and explain it in a way that the congregation will understand. We are committed to expository preaching, which simply means we want to expose the clear meaning of the text. We want you to be able to read along in your Bible and be able to verify that what is being taught from the pulpit is consistent with what the text says. We also believe that the goal of preaching is application and lives changed for God’s glory. We want you to be challenged and encouraged, and we hope
you are changed to be more like Christ as a result of hearing His Word.

Major Messages of the Minor Prophets
Sermon Series by Dr. Chris Moore
In this sermon series, we spend 12 weeks looking at each of the minor prophets. Since all Scripture is inspired by God and profitable, we should hear from all of God’s Word. These books are called “minor” because they are shorter, not because they are less important. Unfortunately, this section of the Bible is often neglected, but we need to hear the major message of the minor prophets.
Jonah
Jonah
Of all the prophets, we are probably most familiar with Jonah. We like this book because it is a fascinating story, but our familiarity can prevent us from hearing the message. We learn God wants His people to make Him known. We discover several reasons why we don’t and why we should.

- Mar 10, 2019ObadiahObadiahObadiahObadiah is the shortest book in the Old Testament, yet it still has a significant message for us. We know God is sovereign, but we learn from this book what to do when it doesn’t seem like God is in control. We are called to trust His Word, trust His ways, and trust His timing.
- Mar 3, 2019JoelJoelJoelAs we look at Joel, we discover the prophets have a clear message their audiences would have understood. The prophets are more like preachers and less like fortune tellers. The book of Joel has a simple message with three key elements: judgment, repentance, and salvation. We need to return to this same simple message today!
- Feb 24, 2019Hosea
- Feb 10, 2019AmosAmosWe begin this series by looking at the book of Amos because this book provides us with a good example of how to read the prophets. We focus on the audience and the author, and we learn why we need to hear from this prophet. We discover the problem that led Amos to preach against God’s people. While the tone of the book is challenging, we also see a promise that God will remain faithful to His people and His plan.
