This week Ryan Hawthorne completes our series on the power of words, looking at creative and prophetic words. Giving us an overview of the prophets in the Old Testament and showing the unglamorous side of a prophet's life - the expectation of 'prophetic humiliation' - Ryan encourages us nonetheless to become people who speak the creative, hopeful words of God. By doing this, we begin to speak the Kingdom of God into being; we build a new world of justice, without pain or suffering, and in the presence of Jesus.
