WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.060 Today we have the privilege of being able to go through an entire book of the Bible. 00:00:05.060 --> 00:00:09.080 If you ever got tired of sitting in church and go, we're just looking at one verse today. 00:00:09.460 --> 00:00:10.880 ! I want to get into this. 00:00:11.580 --> 00:00:14.320 Well, we get our entire book this morning. 00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:21.920 And it is not just a lesson of history or a lesson of just trying to understand what it means. 00:00:22.620 --> 00:00:24.280 Today is a moment for meaning. 00:00:24.920 --> 00:00:28.780 Discovering the meaning of Obadiah for those who first heard it, 00:00:28.780 --> 00:00:31.620 but also for us and what God has to say. 00:00:32.780 --> 00:00:36.579 Because Obadiah is relevant for us in Chatswood in 2026. 00:00:36.939 --> 00:00:37.480 Let me pray. 00:00:38.179 --> 00:00:42.219 Lord God, would you speak to us these words of judgment and comfort, 00:00:42.760 --> 00:00:45.400 just like you did at first through Obadiah. 00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:48.680 And by your Holy Spirit, would you cut us to the heart 00:00:48.680 --> 00:00:53.960 so that we may follow you as your people, saved by grace. 00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:55.500 Amen. 00:00:55.500 --> 00:00:55.579 Amen. 00:00:55.579 --> 00:01:00.899 Donald Glover is a musician. 00:01:01.299 --> 00:01:03.920 And he, one day, was in a music studio. 00:01:04.319 --> 00:01:05.539 And he'd been there for weeks. 00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:07.759 And he had nothing to show for it. 00:01:07.859 --> 00:01:08.659 He was stuck. 00:01:08.780 --> 00:01:09.879 He had writer's block. 00:01:11.420 --> 00:01:16.840 And in a moment of clarity and rejection of his anxieties and his pride, 00:01:17.079 --> 00:01:21.340 he wrote on the walls of probably not his music studio. 00:01:21.340 --> 00:01:23.280 So I wonder if it had to get taken down later. 00:01:23.500 --> 00:01:26.780 He literally scrawled on the wall of that studio, 00:01:27.579 --> 00:01:30.600 make the best sandcastle. 00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:34.719 Make the best sandcastle. 00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:40.379 If he could agree that his work was just a sandcastle, 00:01:40.719 --> 00:01:46.140 here for the moment and then swept away by the tide of time, 00:01:46.819 --> 00:01:52.140 then he could let go of his fears over his legacy, over his fame, 00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:56.439 and just make art that he liked. 00:01:56.439 --> 00:02:03.939 Seeing that his castle was temporary, his castle, it set him free. 00:02:06.359 --> 00:02:09.319 Ever heard a wise saying that helps you live your life? 00:02:10.979 --> 00:02:12.740 You might hear it in advertising. 00:02:12.939 --> 00:02:13.840 You might hear it in a movie. 00:02:13.979 --> 00:02:15.419 You might hear it in a random place. 00:02:15.419 --> 00:02:18.339 But when I heard make the best sandcastle, 00:02:18.519 --> 00:02:20.139 I've got to tell you, that really helped me. 00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:25.500 Not only in my creative past life writing music, 00:02:26.719 --> 00:02:29.239 but for every single day, 00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:32.939 because I forget how fragile my existence is, 00:02:33.199 --> 00:02:36.779 how fragile my nature is. 00:02:37.959 --> 00:02:40.759 I spent years trying to build a castle for myself, 00:02:40.759 --> 00:02:45.459 a castle of reputation or a castle for my family 00:02:45.459 --> 00:02:49.039 or a castle of a place in this world. 00:02:49.719 --> 00:02:50.759 And when I live this way, 00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:54.919 I'm the worst version of myself towards me 00:02:54.919 --> 00:02:58.899 and the worst version of myself towards those around me. 00:03:00.180 --> 00:03:02.780 We all, in some ways, 00:03:02.899 --> 00:03:05.840 tend to build castles out of our own lives. 00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:11.400 They're built from the blueprints of our desires 00:03:11.400 --> 00:03:12.960 and our understanding. 00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:14.640 They're not visible. 00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:16.340 They're invisible castles. 00:03:17.020 --> 00:03:18.259 They're made of accounts. 00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:20.280 They're made of a title, 00:03:21.920 --> 00:03:22.500 a house, 00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:24.699 a spouse, 00:03:26.060 --> 00:03:27.900 a number and photos of children, 00:03:28.659 --> 00:03:29.460 a reputation. 00:03:29.460 --> 00:03:33.200 The pride that we have in our castle 00:03:33.200 --> 00:03:37.580 shapes the priorities of our daily life, 00:03:37.879 --> 00:03:38.620 our character, 00:03:39.040 --> 00:03:40.159 how we treat people. 00:03:41.180 --> 00:03:45.600 We become little kings over our own lives, 00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:49.439 ready to attack anyone coming for our own castle. 00:03:50.920 --> 00:03:52.360 And in Obadiah, 00:03:52.600 --> 00:03:56.040 we see that the strongest castles built by man 00:03:56.040 --> 00:03:58.600 are just sandcastles. 00:03:58.599 --> 00:04:02.039 before the tide of the sovereign Lord. 00:04:02.620 --> 00:04:05.400 No little kingdom is outside of his rule, 00:04:06.060 --> 00:04:07.719 reach and wrath. 00:04:09.639 --> 00:04:11.280 Obadiah is, in fact, 00:04:11.379 --> 00:04:13.000 a message of comfort, 00:04:13.939 --> 00:04:16.079 comfort to those oppressed 00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:18.159 by those who are stronger. 00:04:19.159 --> 00:04:20.899 And it is one of judgment 00:04:20.899 --> 00:04:23.699 against the proud. 00:04:23.699 --> 00:04:26.620 Now, 00:04:27.060 --> 00:04:29.000 you might be thinking, 00:04:29.139 --> 00:04:29.300 all right, 00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:30.319 tell me about Obadiah. 00:04:31.039 --> 00:04:32.740 We know almost nothing about him. 00:04:33.879 --> 00:04:36.159 Not only do we know that his name is Obadiah, 00:04:36.219 --> 00:04:38.399 but we also know that the name Obadiah 00:04:38.399 --> 00:04:39.980 just means servant. 00:04:41.079 --> 00:04:42.399 It's almost a name, 00:04:42.599 --> 00:04:43.000 like if, 00:04:43.159 --> 00:04:43.680 for instance, 00:04:43.800 --> 00:04:45.099 I'll take my friend Merle here. 00:04:45.100 --> 00:04:47.820 If Merle was a servant of the time, 00:04:47.900 --> 00:04:49.560 I'd take her name Merle away 00:04:49.560 --> 00:04:51.900 and I'd call her an Obadiah 00:04:52.520 --> 00:04:54.240 or Obadiah. 00:04:54.960 --> 00:04:56.900 So he's completely irrelevant 00:04:56.900 --> 00:04:59.280 to this message. 00:04:59.760 --> 00:05:01.920 Almost as if the prophet's job 00:05:01.920 --> 00:05:03.740 is to just be unseen, 00:05:04.439 --> 00:05:04.920 translucent, 00:05:04.920 --> 00:05:08.120 compared to how important 00:05:08.120 --> 00:05:09.420 this message is 00:05:09.420 --> 00:05:11.439 against Edom. 00:05:12.740 --> 00:05:14.100 Edom was a nation 00:05:14.100 --> 00:05:16.780 that was descended 00:05:16.780 --> 00:05:18.920 from the elder brother of Jacob, 00:05:19.720 --> 00:05:20.180 Esau. 00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:23.420 Now, Esau was the firstborn 00:05:23.420 --> 00:05:24.680 to Isaac, 00:05:26.060 --> 00:05:27.680 the son of Abraham. 00:05:30.100 --> 00:05:32.220 Esau despised 00:05:32.220 --> 00:05:33.600 being the firstborn, 00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:34.840 despised 00:05:34.840 --> 00:05:36.379 having the birthright, 00:05:36.980 --> 00:05:38.480 which also meant 00:05:38.480 --> 00:05:39.680 he was the one 00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:41.300 through whom God's plan 00:05:41.300 --> 00:05:42.720 would come about. 00:05:43.900 --> 00:05:45.560 And what he did one day 00:05:45.560 --> 00:05:47.040 when he was so hungry 00:05:47.040 --> 00:05:50.000 is he traded 00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:51.660 God's covenant promises 00:05:51.660 --> 00:05:53.340 and his birthright 00:05:53.340 --> 00:05:55.060 to his younger brother, Jacob, 00:05:55.420 --> 00:05:57.020 who had been cooking up a stew. 00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:02.200 As Jacob's family grew, 00:06:02.280 --> 00:06:03.580 they became the nation of Israel. 00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:05.400 As Esau's family grew, 00:06:05.500 --> 00:06:07.180 they became the nation of Edom, 00:06:07.700 --> 00:06:09.600 Israel's fierce enemies 00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:11.460 who lived high in the mountains 00:06:11.460 --> 00:06:13.520 south of Judah. 00:06:14.580 --> 00:06:17.379 All the way through Obadiah, 00:06:17.860 --> 00:06:19.820 God swaps the names. 00:06:20.680 --> 00:06:22.780 And it might have been dislocating 00:06:22.780 --> 00:06:23.640 as you were listening 00:06:23.640 --> 00:06:25.760 to Sarah Regis then. 00:06:25.900 --> 00:06:27.800 God swaps the names out 00:06:27.800 --> 00:06:29.600 of brother and nation 00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:32.860 to remind us of this old, 00:06:33.080 --> 00:06:35.220 broken family bond. 00:06:36.960 --> 00:06:38.220 It's really likely 00:06:38.220 --> 00:06:40.020 that Obadiah prophesied 00:06:40.020 --> 00:06:41.660 right after 00:06:41.660 --> 00:06:45.939 when Judah was forcibly 00:06:45.939 --> 00:06:47.240 exiled, 00:06:47.660 --> 00:06:48.100 defeated, 00:06:48.700 --> 00:06:49.580 and removed 00:06:49.580 --> 00:06:51.240 from their kingdom 00:06:51.240 --> 00:06:52.600 by Babylon 00:06:52.600 --> 00:06:54.600 in 597 BC. 00:06:54.600 --> 00:06:55.800 So, 00:06:55.900 --> 00:06:58.500 we've got 1200 years 00:06:58.500 --> 00:06:59.320 before then 00:06:59.320 --> 00:07:00.960 of brotherly hatred. 00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:03.780 And with all of that history 00:07:03.780 --> 00:07:06.020 hanging over that moment 00:07:06.020 --> 00:07:06.960 of destruction, 00:07:08.060 --> 00:07:08.400 Edom 00:07:08.400 --> 00:07:09.240 helped 00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:10.280 Babylon 00:07:10.280 --> 00:07:11.680 exile Judah 00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:13.000 from their land. 00:07:14.140 --> 00:07:15.580 And it's that moment 00:07:15.580 --> 00:07:16.260 of betrayal 00:07:16.260 --> 00:07:18.280 that inspires 00:07:18.280 --> 00:07:19.560 the sovereign Lord 00:07:19.560 --> 00:07:20.680 to declare the message 00:07:20.680 --> 00:07:21.480 of Obadiah 00:07:21.480 --> 00:07:22.420 that Edom 00:07:22.420 --> 00:07:23.259 is going to be 00:07:23.259 --> 00:07:24.520 annihilated. 00:07:25.900 --> 00:07:26.580 The message 00:07:26.580 --> 00:07:27.439 of Obadiah 00:07:27.439 --> 00:07:29.340 wasn't heard 00:07:29.340 --> 00:07:29.740 though 00:07:29.740 --> 00:07:31.240 by Edom. 00:07:32.580 --> 00:07:33.600 It was for 00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:35.280 the last Israelites 00:07:35.280 --> 00:07:35.780 left. 00:07:35.920 --> 00:07:37.060 It was for Judah. 00:07:38.379 --> 00:07:38.939 Obadiah 00:07:38.939 --> 00:07:40.240 was assurance 00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:41.140 and hope 00:07:41.140 --> 00:07:41.640 to them 00:07:41.640 --> 00:07:43.240 that the sovereign Lord 00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:44.720 judges with power 00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:47.100 bringing justice 00:07:47.100 --> 00:07:49.200 and gracious 00:07:49.200 --> 00:07:50.200 salvation. 00:07:50.199 --> 00:07:51.459 They're the three 00:07:51.459 --> 00:07:52.079 movements 00:07:52.079 --> 00:07:53.120 of Obadiah 00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:54.279 and my three 00:07:54.279 --> 00:07:55.339 points this morning. 00:07:56.219 --> 00:07:56.539 Today, 00:07:56.680 --> 00:07:57.879 Obadiah calls us 00:07:57.879 --> 00:07:59.319 to rest 00:07:59.319 --> 00:08:00.139 with Judah 00:08:00.139 --> 00:08:01.800 in the hope 00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:02.800 that God 00:08:02.800 --> 00:08:03.279 will bring 00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:04.379 ultimate justice 00:08:04.379 --> 00:08:05.259 to the oppressed 00:08:05.259 --> 00:08:07.079 and bring salvation 00:08:07.079 --> 00:08:07.939 even 00:08:07.939 --> 00:08:09.339 for the sinful. 00:08:10.459 --> 00:08:10.980 And while 00:08:10.980 --> 00:08:11.659 the message 00:08:11.659 --> 00:08:12.500 of annihilation 00:08:12.500 --> 00:08:14.439 seems awful 00:08:14.439 --> 00:08:15.740 to our modern ears, 00:08:16.259 --> 00:08:17.819 there is no denying 00:08:17.819 --> 00:08:20.240 the need for justice 00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:21.839 in our world. 00:08:23.060 --> 00:08:23.860 But can we hope 00:08:23.860 --> 00:08:25.019 that God 00:08:25.019 --> 00:08:25.599 is able 00:08:25.599 --> 00:08:26.319 to judge 00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:27.560 and that 00:08:27.560 --> 00:08:28.360 he can do it 00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:28.980 fairly? 00:08:30.759 --> 00:08:31.180 Well, 00:08:31.180 --> 00:08:31.980 let's see if he's 00:08:31.980 --> 00:08:32.980 able to judge 00:08:32.980 --> 00:08:34.480 powerfully. 00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:36.159 Point one. 00:08:37.460 --> 00:08:38.559 We might expect 00:08:38.559 --> 00:08:39.279 God's judgment 00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:40.399 to unfold 00:08:40.399 --> 00:08:42.299 as if he is 00:08:42.299 --> 00:08:42.980 a judge 00:08:42.980 --> 00:08:44.080 over a modern 00:08:44.080 --> 00:08:44.700 courtroom. 00:08:44.700 --> 00:08:47.200 I don't know 00:08:47.200 --> 00:08:47.600 if you've ever 00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:48.640 seen a TV show 00:08:48.640 --> 00:08:49.600 of a courtroom 00:08:49.600 --> 00:08:49.980 scene 00:08:49.980 --> 00:08:50.980 or been to court, 00:08:51.540 --> 00:08:52.379 been in one 00:08:52.379 --> 00:08:52.960 of the positions 00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:53.879 in a courtroom, 00:08:54.240 --> 00:08:54.960 but usually 00:08:54.960 --> 00:08:55.660 the courtroom 00:08:55.660 --> 00:08:57.100 begins with 00:08:57.100 --> 00:08:57.740 reading out 00:08:57.740 --> 00:08:58.420 of the charges 00:08:58.420 --> 00:08:59.800 and then some 00:08:59.800 --> 00:09:00.360 evidence, 00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:01.700 maybe even 00:09:01.700 --> 00:09:02.740 some discussion 00:09:02.740 --> 00:09:03.500
