In this week's message from Grand Point Church's series The Voice, Director of Kids Ministry Stephen Hunt walks through the book of Obadiah — the shortest book in the Old Testament, but one of the most convicting. Through the story of Edom's betrayal of Judah, Stephen unpacks how bitterness, gossip, and slander quietly tear apart families, friendships, and churches — and what Scripture calls us to do instead.

In This Episode:

  • The historical context of Obadiah and Edom's family history with Israel
  • The four-part structure of the prophecy: judgment, sin, the Day of the Lord, and restoration
  • How James 3 and Matthew 12:34 connect the tongue to the condition of the heart
  • Practical steps for addressing conflict biblically, straight from Matthew 18:15-16
  • An invitation to repentance and reconciliation

Next Steps:

  • Reach out to someone you've talked about instead of talked to — make the call, send the text, this week.
  • Read Matthew 18:15-16 and James 3:1-12 as a follow-up this week.
  • Talk with your family about what it looks like to "make the messy beautiful" in your own home.
