Amos 9:11-12 “In that day I will raise up the booth of David that is fallen and repair its breaches, and raise up its ruins and rebuild it as in the days of old, that they may possess the remnant of Edom and all the nations who are called by my name,” declares the Lord who does this.

Sermon Discussion Questions
1. Why is pride so hard to recognize in ourselves? What habits or relationships help expose pride and cultivate humility in your life?
2. Which of these expressions of pride are you most prone toward: tearing others down, remaining indifferent to others’ suffering, secretly rejoicing at someone else’s failure, or looking out mainly for yourself? What would repentance look like in that area?
3. Where do you find your sense of security most naturally drifting towards rather than resting in God? (ex: people, finances, health, politics?) What would it look like this week to actively reorder that trust?
4. How would you describe the book of Obadiah in a short sentence or two? Why do God’s people need this book of the Bible? How has it brought encouragement to you so that you might have hope? (Romans 15:4)
