I remember years ago watching an episode of a hidden camera TV show where actors acted out

a scene that had one man dressed as someone living on the streets, received money from

another man only to have that money stolen by some mocking teenagers.

The episode focused on the actions of the surrounding people who didn't know they

were watching an actor portrayal to see if they would intervene, comfort the victim, or just walk

on. In this sort of modern day reenactment of the Good Samaritan, although some did stop to help,

it was surprising to the hosts of the show how many people walked by without any

action. If Obadiah were to describe it, he might say they, quote, stood on the other side,

or, quote, looked on when someone was hurt. In this episode, we study two chastisements Amos and Obadiah give related to our relationship

with God and his children that might be painfully relevant to us today.

Welcome to the Scripture Study Project. We are your hosts, Krista and Zach Horton, and this is our podcast where we study Scripture with you.

Our goal each week is to help you discover new or renewed excitement for God and His Word.

Invest your heart and personal life into your study and connect with others as you teach and learn together.

Hey there, welcome to this week's episode of the Scripture Study Project.

We are your host, Zach and Krista, and we already said that in the intro because I forgot

that we have a pre-recorded thing.

So we don't say that anymore because Zach made us get a cool intro.

So I'll start over and just

say that this week we are studying in Amos and Obadiah and kind of a concise study, just a few

chapters and because even come follow me actually let us read all of the chapters. You know how

sometimes it gives you only selections. But we're excited to

study with you this week and to get going. Yeah. We were talking, I was relating a story to you
