Return: Obadiah

This sermon in Obadiah will mainly focus on verses 10–21 and center on Edom’s response to Judah’s suffering— they stood at a distance, gloated over their downfall, and even profited from it. The big idea is that God opposes the pride that celebrates another person’s pain and calls His people to compassion instead. We'll close by turning to Jesus, contrasting Edom’s posture with His kingdom: blessed are the merciful, love your enemies, the Good Samaritan, and “with the measure you use it will be measured to you.” It should move from conviction into mercy, humility, and becoming people who draw near rather than stand aloof.
