minor prophets: obadiah
yesturday i started a sermon series on the minor prophets. i am doing them in chronological order (although the order is a highly disputed thing, i am going by the order set forth by chuck swindol in my study bible because i needed to set the order before starting my research. however, i have been learning alot about the various possibilities for when the books were written and find the historical and archealogical debate fascinating.. anyone want to discuss? didnt think so)
if you speak german, it was recorded, and i am more than happy to give you the mp3. otherwise, i will just post my outline in the comments again like last week.
