Summary

In Obadiah, why is Edom singled out for such strong judgment? In Jonah 4, why is Jonah so angry about Nineveh’s repentance—and what does that reaction reveal about his understanding of God? In today's episode, Emma Dotter talks with Watermark student, Paige Fowler, and discuss why God speaks to the nations who are not Israel. They discuss how we ought to handle anger we might feel toward the Lord and others.

Additional references: Romans 7:15-20; Ephesians 2:13
