“An Overview of the Prophets” – Prophets, Video 1
Holy Family Catholic Church on Jun 12, 2015 How many prophets are included in the Hebrew scriptures, and who are they? In this video, the Rev. Dr. Jayme Mathias, pastor of Holy Family Catholic Church in Austin, Texas, kicks off a parish study of the prophets!
