Sermon Notes
The Reluctant Judge ~Judges 6-8
- The pattern of Judges: Israel disobeys, God sends an enemy against them, the people cry out, God raises up a judge to save them, the judge dies, the people disobey (repeat)
- With Gideon:
- After 40 years of peace, the people sinned and God sent Midian against them
- God raised up Gideon, a reluctant judge
- We Learn:
- Our hearts are naturally inclined to idolatry
- Our hope must be in Jesus, the greatest Savior and JudgeWe learn:
- God delights in using the weak
- We should aim to grow strong and mature in faith
