  1. Lessons from the Life of Obed-Edom

    Lessons from the Life of Obed-Edom — a word from Pastor Bill Young from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "Lord, like Obed-Edom, may I welcome Your presence with awe and joy. Let Your Spirit shape my home, my habits, and my heart."

    Imagine along with me. You wake up to find someone has delivered the Ark of the Covenant (the sacred symbol of God’s very presence) to your house for safekeeping (by Amazon). That’s exactly what happened to a man named Obed-Edom. Well, not the Amazon part.

    In Romans 2:16, rather than say “God’s gospel” or “the Gospel of Jesus,” the Apostle Paul said, “my gospel.” This has naturally confused some people as they first read it.

    Throughout Paul’s many epistles, he writes the phrase “my gospel.” Additionally, he also notes “the Gospel of God” numerous times — including in Romans 1:1. In that verse, Paul said He was an Apostle of the Gospel of God.
