There are about 13 different people in the bible with the name Obadiah. The person we are looking at lives during the reign of Ahab, king of the Northern Kingdom also known as Samaria. Ahab was very wicked!

The Shunemite Unknown believer

25 May 2021 - 2 Kings 4:8-36

Shunem was a small town near Jezreel in the terretory of Issachar. It commanded an uninterrupted view across to Mount Carmel. The AV version of the bible calls her A Great Lady.

Manasseh A Prodigal

1 June 2021 - 2 Chronicles 33:1-13

We are not studying Manasseh, one of the sons of Joseph born to him in Egypt, nor the tribe that bears his name, but rather our considerations are around the person who was a King of the southern kingdom of Judea.

Ruth Lesson in loyalty

8 June 2021 - Ruth

We turn our attention to one of the most delightful young ladies in the old testament. The book of Ruth celebrates her loyalty, love and commitment, three virtues that appear to be considered less important in modern times.

Isaiah Man of vision

15 June 2021 - Isaiah 6:1-9

There is little of Isaiah's background for us to follow, but he was a man in touch with God and he was instrumental in writing the book that bears his name. His reputation in more recent writings is that of the Evangelical Prophet of the Old Testament

22 June 2021 - 1 Samuel 1:2:11

Ebed-Melech A deliverer

29 June 2021 - Jeremiah 38:1-13

I can almost hear people saying Ebed who? For he is not a great public character. But by his actions he rescued one of the giants of Old Testament prophecy and thus earned the respect of many and God's rich blessing

Esther God's Appointed person

6 July 2021 - Esther

Esther's story begins with something frowned upon by many in this day and age, a beauty contest. The main difference is that today those who take part do so voluntarily but in her day it was by decree of a king who felt humiliated by his queen

Barzillai The Aged

13 July 2021 - 2 Samuel 17:27-29

Like many of God's Children Barzillai was a relatively unknown person, but his example is an inspiration.

Possibly one of the best known characters from the Old Testament and outstanding in a number of ways.
