Looking at the end of Gideon’s life in Judges chapter 8. It really isn’t about how well you start, it’s all about how well you finish. The danger of pride.
Living well under the Kingship of Christ. As Gideon tore down the idols in his father's land we need to tear down our idols and give our obediance to Jesus Christ, the King of Kings.
The reading starts at Judges chapter 6 verse 1 to capture the story so far, the sermon by Dave starts in 7 mins 22 secs. from the start of this recording. The call of Gideon. God’s people, once again, receive His mercy despite the waywardness of their hearts and the inevitable mess they get into. But what God supplies isn’t exactly what they wanted or expected.
(The reading has not been uploaded due to difficulties with the microphone that day) God saves the Israelites from Jabin, the king of Canaan.
The necessity, means, author and wonder of salvation. Rev. Dave Gooderidge preaches on Judges.
The Israelites continue their pattern of following God, then drifting away by also worshipping foreign gods leading to disaster until they return to God under the leadership of a Judge. We look at three Judges, including Ehud, a left handed man despised by many who saved them from their subjection to the Moabites. He can be seen as a foretaste of our Lord Jesus Christ. The recording starts with the reading, the sermon by Dave starts at 5mins 22 secs. |
