COURSE DESCRIPTION:
While the West is obsessed with superheroes, the narratives of the Bible are full of examples of nameless, faceless, and even ‘obscure’ faithful servants whose overall importance to God’s kingdom is profound. There are, in fact, far more ‘nameless’, ‘faceless’, ‘obscure’, and ‘minor characters’ in these narratives than publicly recognized servants such as prophets, kings, military personnel, and the like. The major objective of this course is to highlight these narratives in order to encourage those servants of the Lord who are invested in ministries that receive little public recognition, or who underestimate the importance of their ‘behind the scenes’ ministries. While such servants of God may appear as nameless and faceless to the public, they are not so to God! Minor characters in the Bible, and in the contemporary communities of Messiah, make major contributions. Let us be informed and encouraged by these narratives of the Scriptures.
