Episode Synopsis

In this kickoff to the One Chapter Wonders series, Pastor Jeff McNicol draws a parallel between musical “one hit wonders” and the short yet powerful one-chapter books of the Bible—beginning with Obadiah. Written during the dark period after Jerusalem’s destruction in 586 BC, Obadiah’s prophecy confronts the nation of Edom—descendants of Esau—for their arrogance, indifference, and hostility toward Israel. The message challenges believers to confront pride, reject complacency, act courageously in the face of need, and rest confidently in God’s justice and provision. Even in troubled times, the “plain truths” of Obadiah offer both conviction and hope.
