Obadiah "Pride Before The Fall"
About this episode
Pastor Landon explores the themes of pride and humility through the book of Obadiah, contrasting the downfall of Edom with the redemptive path of Jesus Christ.
In this message from the book of Obadiah, Pastor Landon continues our study through the Minor Prophets by exploring one of the shortest books in the Old Testament—and one of the most powerful. Obadiah confronts the pride of Edom, a nation that trusted in its strength, security, wisdom, and alliances rather than in God. Through this prophetic warning, we are reminded that pride deceives the heart, resists God’s grace, and ultimately leads to destruction. Yet the message does not end in judgment. It points us to the hope found in surrendering to Jesus Christ. Through the examples of Edom and Christ, we see two very different paths: self-exaltation versus humility, self-rule versus surrender, pride versus grace. While Edom sought to elevate itself, Jesus humbled Himself—even to the point of death on a cross—so that sinners could be redeemed. This sermon challenges us to examine our own hearts. Are we building our own kingdom, or are we surrendering to God’s? Obadiah reminds us that every earthly kingdom will pass away, but one kingdom will remain forever: “The kingdom shall be the Lord’s.” (Obadiah 1:21) Speaker: Pastor Landon Churchill Date: 5/31/2026 ComeToFreedom.com
