Title: The African Presence in the Text, Booklet 2: Zephaniah, Son of Cushi

Description:

A prophet with an African name stands at the edge of judgment and speaks a word of hope that reaches every nation.

Zephaniah identifies his own lineage back to Cushi — a name rooted in Cush, the biblical designation for the African lands south of Egypt. This booklet walks through his prophecy of coming judgment and the promise that follows it: a day when "pure lips" will be given to the peoples, and worshipers will come from beyond the rivers of Cush bearing offerings to the Lord.

Inside this booklet you will receive:

• A complete Sunday sermon manuscript grounded in the biblical text
• A Wednesday companion Bible study with structured teaching notes
• Hebrew keyword study with pronunciation and application
• Discussion questions with sample answers for teachers
• Historical and cultural background drawn from verified sources
• Pastoral guardrails so the text is handled with care — Zephaniah's nation-gathering promise is read as fulfilled in the church, not as a future ethnic or land program
