"The Prophet Obadiah"
(1 Kings 18:3-15)
Jesus is the true God and the true man. This is the truth that the Bible shows, and it is the content of faith that has been professed for 2,000 years. This faith is the center of our faith.(…) Our confession of faith is that we can know God clearly only through Jesus Christ. Jesus clearly showed people what they should live for, what they think, how they should live, how they should die, and how to live the most happiest way to live.(…) We are Jesus' disciples. So learn Jesus. Follow Jesus. Trying to be like Jesus. That Jesus said, “I came to this earth to serve.” He came to serve from the beginning, and he was determined to become a substitute for many people by carrying the cross.(…) Today, Christianity in Korea is being bullied from all sides. Obadiah's faith kept the prophets of God. We want to learn from Obadiah what it means to live by serving.
① Obadiah! He was a man who lived in the day of trouble. There was a severe famine in Samaria. What kind of famine is that famine? ㉠ It is physical starvation.(…) ㉡ It is spiritual famine. A spiritual famine is when God's people forsake His covenant. You have demolished the altar of the Lord.(…) The servants of the truth are killed and despised. Obadiah was a man who lived in a time of tribulation. However, Obadiah ② feared God greatly.(…)
③Obadiah was truly a servant of God.
