Obadiah: Retributive Justice and Grace -...

About this episode

Sunday Sermon by Kevin Jensen

Obadiah, on the surface, could give God a bad name: Why is God always out to destroy peoples and nations? But digging deeper, we find the goodness of God in how he responds to both wickedness and repentance. He responds to one with retributive justice and to the other with grace.

Text: Book of Obadiah
