Deceptive Faith, False Hope and Counterfeit Love | Obadiah 5-14 | January 25, 2026 | Mike Gibbons

Send us Fan MailIn this message from Obadiah 5–14, we see a warning against deceptive faith, false hope, and counterfeit love—and a call to humble, Christlike repentance. The outline highlights three heart-level issues: pride (a deceptive faith, vv. 1–4), idolatry (a false hope, vv. 5–9), and uncharitableness (a counterfeit love, vv. 10–14). Each section points us to Jesus’ example of humility (Phil. 2:5–8), surrender to the Father’s will (Matt. 26:39, 42, 44), and the transforming power of the gospel that leads us to live out what matters most: faith, hope, and love—especially love (Titus 3:3; 1 Cor. 13:13).
