Levi began a new series on the Book of Galatians. In this first lesson, he focused on Christian Freedom

Levi discussed the role of women in Christianity.

Jehovah Jireh is a Hebrew phrase meaning "God Provides" or (as Levi explains in this sermon) "God Is Enough."

The elders invited John Mark Hicks, author and professor, to be the guest speaker today. Brother Hicks offered his thoughts and research from secular history about God's will regarding women in assemblies of the church

"Levi reminds us that the Bible is a detailed telling of a single story--God Redeeming Us! Then he took us through the highlights of the story in the following verses:

Genesis 1-3,, Ex. 34:6-7, Deuteronomy 6:4-9, Isaiah 43:16-19, Jeremiah 2:11-13, Jeremiah 9:23-26, Hosea 6:6, Amos 9:11-15, Micah 6:8, Micah 7:18-20, Luke 2:11, Luke 9:49-50, Luke 10:25-27, John 1:1-5, John 3:16, John 8:10-11, John 9:25, Acts 2:1-4, Acts 2:15-21, Romans 8, Galatians 2:16, Galatians 3:28, Hebrews 4:16, James 4:11-12, 1 John 4:16-21, Revelation 21:1-5a

The last sermon in the series "UnWandered Words" focuses on Obadiah. This is the least studied and researched of all, based on statistics from the online Bible app called Bible Gateway.  It is the shortest book in the Old Testament with only 21 verses. The book of Obadiah is one of the minor (short) prophecies and is in the form of Hebrew poetry. The subject of this book is the fate of the Edomites. Back in Genesis, we learn about Isaac and Rebekah's twin boys, Jacob and Esau. They grew up to become bitter enemies until near the end of their lives. Esau's descendants were called the Edomites, and Jacob's were called Israelites. in Obadiah's book, the Edomites had built a city high on a stony mountain and inside a cleft in the rock. They were very proud of this "city in the sky", and Obadiah references God scoffing at their false pride and sinful ways.

As we draw near the end of this series, Levi takes us through the 3 letters of John. While 1st John is an often-read book, 2nd and 3rd John are not often studied or read (per internet searches). That makes them UnWandered words. Levi provides a brief introduction looking at all three letters, and then homes in on the last two letters.

A minor prophet, Nahum wrote mainly in a poetic style. The topic is the sins and coming destruction of the city of Nineveh.
