Obadiah: Hope & Warning

Obadiah may be the shortest book in the Old Testament, but its message is monumental. It focuses on the pride of Edom and the coming “Day of the Lord.” This prophetic book serves as both a sobering warning and a beacon of hope. Join us as we examine the sins of arrogance and violence, and the certainty of God’s justice. Ultimately, we also explore the salvation found not in a city or a nation, but in the person of Jesus Christ. Discover why the “Day of the Lord” is the most significant event in history. Consider also how it changes the way we live today.
