Seen - Week 4

A lot of people have been let down by a leader, an institution, or a church. The wound is real, and it's shaped how much they trust—God included. When the people who were supposed to help you are the ones who hurt you, it's hard to know who's safe.

In this fourth message of our series, Seen: You Are Not As Invisible As You Feel, a book study through Zephaniah, Teaching Pastor Christian Nichles turns to Zephaniah 3:1–8 to show that God has a particular problem with leaders who use people instead of protecting them. He doesn't look the other way.

Text: Zephaniah 3:1–8

The reassurance this week: God's indictment of bad leadership is evidence that he sees what happened to you, and it matters to him. He's not defending the people who failed you—he's stepping in on your behalf.

This is Week 4 of Seen, a book study through Zephaniah for anyone who's wondered whether any of it matters and needs to hear that it does.
