Jephthah the Pirate

We should speak the truth in love and we should seek peace. But it doesn’t always work. That’s why Paul says, as far as it is up to you, live at peace with others. All we can do is what Jesus did and what Jephthah did: Entrust yourself to God’s care! What great examples for us when we are fighting unfair and untrue accusations.

From Series: "Judges: Broken Heroes"

After the death of Israel’s great leader, Joshua, Israel was in the land God promised them. “In those days, Israel had no king; everyone did as he saw fit.” In the tumultuous 300 year history described in the book of Judges, a cycle appears and reappears: sin, judgment, salvation…and back to sin. Throughout, God raises men and women as instruments of his salvation – but each hero proves to be broken and flawed, reminding us that only God can provide a perfect savior.
