In Judges 11 we meet the next judge of Israel. Jephthah is, again, an interesting and unlikely hero in Israel– one who learns a valuable lesson about making a vow to God.
In this message, we see how Gideon moves from a man of faith to a man of the world during the forty years of peace experienced by Israel after defeating the Medianites.
Sometimes, comfort and ease can be very dangerous as we rely more on our own talents and abilities rather than relying on God.
Last week we saw that Gideon overcame incredible odds to rout the Midianites in battle. But it was actually God who provided the victory.
This Sunday, we see how Gideon finishes the battle and then, perhaps more importantly, how he handles the comfort and peace that comes to Israel.
To prepare, read Judges 8.
Looking forward to Sunday!
Grace and peace,
Doug
