Washed in the Word
7 Judges 10:1-12:15 "Tola, Jair, & Jephtha I: Which God Do You Serve?"
We'd love to hear from you. Text us.
After a fast footnote about Tola & Jair our main story opens with a sad indictment in Judges 6:6 "The people of Israel again did what was evil in the sight of the LORD..." We have seen this pattern throughout the book of Judges. God saves His people under a deliverer judge & the very next generation wanders away from the Lord. What is new here is not the pattern, but the progression. For when Othniel was sent to deliver God’s people in Judges 2 it was because they prostituted themselves to the chief Canaanite deities, Baal & Ashtaroth. Eight chapters and a string of judges later, God’s people have widened their sphere of idolatry so that now in Judges 10, they serve the Baals and the Ashtaroths, the gods of Syria, the gods of Sidon, the gods of Moab, the gods of the Ammonites, and the gods of the Philistines. And they forsook the LORD and did not serve him. Grab your Bible, a pen, and download the free sermon outline & Diving Deeper in Scripture Together Study Guide & let's get Washed in the Word!
