Obadiah (Sermon) - For The Love of God

August 1, 2020 Obadiah

Clear Creek Community Church

Summary

The sermon warns against "bible roulette," randomly flipping open scripture, especially the Minor Prophets, without context. It uses the story of Jacob and Esau from Genesis 25 as an example, highlighting their rivalry and the subsequent enmity between their descendants, the Israelites and Edomites, which forms the backdrop for understanding the book of Obadiah. The practical takeaway is that understanding biblical context is crucial for accurate interpretation and application.
