Sermon Notes

The Lord Is the Judge of and
King Over All Nations
Obadiah
Big Idea: The Lord Is the Judge of and King over all nations
A Nation Deceived by Its Pride
Will Be Brought Down by the Lord
Obadiah 1-9
Application: We Must Not Be Deceived by Pride as a Nation
A Nation that Does Not Value the Lives of Others
Will Be Cut Off by God
Obadiah 10-14
Application: We Must Value the Lives of Others
All Nations Face a Day of Judgment and the
Lord God Will Reign as King
Obadiah 15-21
Application: The Most Bold and Politically Offensive Statement
We Can (and Should) Make: _____________________

Applying God’s Word

Use the questions below for personal reflection or discussion with your family or friends as we seek to not only hear the Word but
believe it and live accordingly.

When you open up the Bible to read it on your own, what are you hoping to get from it personally? Are you looking for commands to obey, revelations of God’s character to praise, encouragement, guidance, etc.?
Obadiah is a vision concerning one nation (Obadiah 1) and a message from God and about God to all nations (Obadiah 15). How do we understand and apply the truth in a book like this differently than we might understand and apply the truth in other books of the Bible?
How have your views on national issues (including politics) been formed?
How could we grow to have a more Biblically molded worldview in every area of life including life as a citizen of a nation?
Read through Obadiah 1-14 again and list some ways in which you see a reflection of our nation in God’s Word to and about Edom.
What difference does it make for us practically to know and believe the truth that the Lord is the Judge of and King over all nations including our own?
Read Revelation 19-22. How does that help us put everything in perspective?
Work on memorizing Philippians 2:9-11 this week, asking God to help you live a life submitted to Jesus, who is Lord.
Read and Pray Ahead for Next Week: Nehemiah 1
