170 - Judges E13

Judges: Returning to God Episode 13: Everyone Did As They Saw Fit (Judges 19-21) In this concluding episode the moral and spiritual decay of Israel leads to the abuse of women, civil war, and a threat to the survival to an entire tribe of the Israelites. Chaos is the result when everyone does what they think is right in their own eyes! Thank you for listening!

169 - Parental Guidance Suggested (3)

Class #3 - recorded from our 10am Class in the gym (4.26.26) Here are the slides Jonathan used from this class: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1SOmHOkLtD7u5DswELB4YWcnieBxxL1Vf?usp=drive_link We’ve all heard the old adage: “Train up a child in the way they should go, and when they are old, they will not depart from it.” It’s wisdom straight from the book of Proverbs. However, as we saw in our recent study through Proverbs, sayings such as this one are not hard and fast rules. They may be generally true but don’t promise a guaranteed outcome. And who’s to say that we’re even training up our children the right way? Parenting is not for the faint of heart. This class will focus on some of the specific challenges of trying to raise up godly, resilient children who don’t fall apart when life gets hard. There won’t be any easy answers offered, but you’ll be blessed to hear the collected wisdom of fellow parents and some practical ways to help your kids develop emotional strength, character, and responsibility. Whether you’re just starting out on the parenting journey or your kids are almost grown, we’d love to have you join us for the conversation. Thank you for listening!

168 - Judges E12

Judges: Returning to God Episode 12: Take a Little of This and Mix It With a Little of That (Judges 17-18) The mantra of Judges, “Everyone did what was right in his own eyes,” is nowhere more evident than in the character of Micah, who had no problem mixing the worship of Yahweh with the worship of hand made idols in creating his own brand of religion. And the worst part? He had no awareness that what he was doing was wrong! Even today, we could be guilty of creating God in our image, a God who behaves the way we want him to behave.

166 - Judges E11

Judges: Returning to God Episode 11: Divine Power and Human Weakness (Judges 16) As the story of Samson comes to a tragic end, one great truth stands out: even when Samson betrays his Nazirite vow and squanders his divine gift, God is faithful to Samson. What a comfort to know that God can use the most flawed among his people in accomplishing his purposes. Thank you for listening!
