Presentation transcript:

a major week by week exploration of the books Exploring the Bible!’ Sunday evenings a major week by week exploration of the books of the Bible Tonight Judges! Every Sunday evening at ‘Bible Explorer’ we will explore the question ‘what does this book mean for us today?’

Judges 12 Judges: 2:16 “…. and the Lord raised up Judges” Othniel 3:7-11, Ehud 3:12-30, Deborah (and Barak) 4 and 5, Gideon 6-8, Jepthana 10:6-12:7, Samson 13-16, Shamgar 3:31, Tolar and Jair 10:1-5, Ibzah, Elon, and Abidon 12:8-15

Judges God’s people take a wrong turn: away from God and loyalty to him and towards downfall and near destruction …..this is not the way so do not walk in it! a witness to human frailty and the need of a ‘Saviour’

Deborah linked with Barak, Sisera and Jael. linked by the overarching will of God at a time when the Israelites had been heavily oppressed and been brought to a low point where they were once more prepared to cry out to God for help.

Deborah The people Deborah – prophetess and judge respected and trusted by others. Barak – called by God (through the prophetic ministry of Deborah) to lead an army to defeat the Canaanites Sisera – commander of the large Canaanite army Jael – wife of Heber the Kenite, ally of the Canaanites

Deborah The Story For us today What role does the prophetic play in our leadership and guidance? Looking at the different gifts God equips his followers with we need to be mindful of what each of us can bring God can and will use others outside the church ...we should be able to work alongside them in fulfilling the plans and purposes he has.

Gideon His call - and complaint! The Lord is with you mighty warrior! 6:12….yet….Gideon’s ‘Ifs’ and ‘Buts’! 6 v12 – 36 His victory – glorious and hollow! 7:17- 18 “watch me “ follow my lead… for the Lord and for Gideon” ….filled with the Spirit….yet….. v24 ”I have but one request”…an ephod of self indulgence!

Samson The miracle of birth: Judges 13: Samson’s birth is both astounding and miraculous. Temptation: known for his immense strength, he was exceptionally weak Sexual Awareness: Sadly Samson’s downfall was illicit sexual relationships (Judges 16:1)

Samson Never abandoned despite our limitations The story of the destruction of the Philistine temple may seem shocking to us, but it also hints at some really important truths. Weakness Samson’s weakness nearly destroyed him, but God did not abandon him Set Apart: Ultimately we, like Samson, are to be a people set apart
