    The politician who sells out to special interests and who has no regard for life is not worthy of our loyalty. We need to get involved in the political process with a servant mentality.

    We have here in our church a long-standing tradition of the separation of church and state. We do not get involved in partisan politics. We do not support candidates, we do not give platforms to those running for political office. This sets us off from some other churches, where it is not at all ...read more

    Don’t let anger drive you, and don’t let anger destroy you. Instead, trust God to deal appropriately with those who hurt you.

    One morning Ralph woke up at five o'clock to a noise that sounded like someone repairing boilers on his roof. Still in his pajamas, he went into the back yard to investigate. He found a woodpecker on the TV antenna, “pounding its little brains out on the metal pole.” Angry at the little ...read more

     | 2,928 views

    We are given the fable in Chapter 38 and now in Judges 9:16-20, Jotham gives the application of his fable, because there was no necessity for any special explanation of it, since it was perfectly clear and intelligible in itself.

    Chapter 39 Application of the Fable [Judges 9.16-9.21] Scripture: Judges 9:16-21 (KJV) 16 Now therefore, if ye have done truly and sincerely, in that ye have made Abimelech king, and if ye have dealt well with Jerubbaal and his house, and have done unto him according to the deserving of his ...read more

     | 2,598 views

    Abimelech reigned, after a sort, for three years without any disturbance; he did not do any good for his country, but he was content as long he enjoyed the title and dignity of a king, and not only the Shechemites but many other places paid him respect.

    Chapter 40 The Shechemite’s Quarrel With Abimelech [Judges 9.22-9.25] Scripture: Judges 9:22-25 (KJV) 22 When Abimelech had reigned three years over Israel, 23 Then God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the men of Shechem; and the men of Shechem dealt treacherously with ...read more

    Gaal Driven Out Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Mar 21, 2020
     | 1,961 views

    There is nothing surprising about what is related here. The drunken celebration of the previous night had left Gaal and his men both mentally and physically unprepared for any kind of effective military activity, and Abimelech and his army easily defeated them.

    Chapter 43 Gaal Driven Out [Judges 9.34-9.41] Scripture: Judges 9:34-41 (KJV) 34 And Abimelech rose up, and all the people that were with him, by night, and they laid wait against Shechem in four companies. 35 And Gaal the son of Ebed went out, and stood in the entering of the gate of the ...read more

     | 2,103 views

    The citizens of Shechem were apparently in their fields for the purpose of tending their crops, and very probably without weapons of any kind. People could be seen going in and out of the city gate to support those harvesting the grapes. Abimelech slew them.

    Chapter 44 Destruction of Shechem [Judges 9.42-9.45] Scripture: Judges 9:42-45 (KJV) 42 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the people went out into the field; and they told Abimelech. 43 And he took the people, and divided them into three companies, and laid wait in the field, and ...read more

     | 1,492 views

    This rebellious speech by Gaal was reported to Abimelech by the town-prefect Zebul, who sent messengers to him, either through deceit or secrecy or both, not allowing anyone to know that he sent them.

    Chapter 42 Abimelech Appraised of Gaal’s Move [Judges 9.30-9.33] Scripture: Judges 9:30-33 (KJV) 30 And when Zebul the ruler of the city heard the words of Gaal the son of Ebed, his anger was kindled. 31 And he sent messengers unto Abimelech privily, saying, Behold, Gaal the son of Ebed ...read more
