    The Lord's Supper is a powerful, practical reminder of the Lord, the Mission, and the People of God.

    A church had an unusual ritual every Sunday morning. Before the church sang the Doxology, they would stand up, everyone turned to the right facing a blank white wall, and they sang. Every Sunday without fail they did this. A newcomer to the church was confused by this and asked, "Why do you do ...read more

    God uses imperfect people! That's the message of the book of Judges. In this last sermon in the series, we learn about Jephthah's Childhood, Jephthah's Courage, and Jephthah's Character.

    Judges: Ordinary People in the Hands of an Extraordinary God (Jephthah) Scott Bayles, pastor Blooming Grove Christian Church: 7/27/2014 The last few weeks we’ve been exploring the book of Judges. The stories collected in this section of Scripture aren’t exactly what you’d call a ...read more

    This message looks at the story of the Vow of Jephthah, what he could learn looking back, and what we can learn looking ahead.

    A Tough Promise to Keep Have you ever made a promise you regretted? Given your word and then realized the price was way too high but couldn’t find a graceful way to back out? Happened different times in the bible. Herod had John the Baptist arrested because John wouldn’t stop harping ...read more

    We will learn from the life of Jephthah in the book of Judges that it is not not good to make foolish vows that we will eventually regret, but we are encouraged to deepen our commitment through godly vows made before God that we are able to fulfill.

    There was this story of a wealthy oil tycoon that one day lay on his deathbed. His pastor talked to him of God's healing power. "Pastor," he gasped, "if God heals me, I'll give the church a million dollars." The pastor prayed for him and anointed him with oil. Miraculously, the man revived and ...read more

    Our past does not define us, God redeems us. Our mistakes do not define us, God teaches us. Our faith in God defines us, God uses us.

    All of us have them. Some of us have more than others. • There are those who are crippled by them, others can rise above them and continue to live with confidence. But all of us have them. • What am I talking about? Flaws and failures. Our imperfections and mistakes. Flaws ...read more

    From Jephthah the Gilead we learn an important lesson: Keeping Your Promises-- Even When It Costs You

    You Promised! The book of Judges (chapters l0—12) includes a strange story about keeping your promises and not breaking your vows. It’s the story of Jephthah the Gileadite—a most unusual hero. The Bible says, “Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty warrior. His father was ...read more

    Character Study Of Jephthah Series

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Mar 22, 2025
     | 805 views

    Jephthah was a man of faith and courage, but his story is overshadowed by the tragic consequences of his rash vow. His leadership brought victory to Israel, but his lack of wisdom in speech led to unnecessary sorrow.

    CHARACTER STUDY OF JEPHTHAH – JUDGE WHO MADE A RASH VOW By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text:. Judges 11:30-31 "And Jephthah made a vow unto the Lord, and said, If thou shalt without fail deliver the children of Ammon into mine hands, then it shall be, that whatsoever cometh forth of the doors ...read more

    Rash Promises

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 12, 2025
     | 180 views

    Rash vows reveal hearts that bargain in fear, but God calls us to trust His covenant grace, where Christ’s finished work—not our promises—secures victory and freedom.

    Introduction – When a Vow Feels Like a Chain I once heard of a young businessman who, desperate to save his company from bankruptcy, blurted out a prayer late one night: “Lord, if You get me out of this mess, I’ll give away half of everything I own.” He never wrote it down or told anyone, but the ...read more

     | 2,817 views

    This sermon deals with the tragedy we find in the bible of someone trying to make an unnecessary deal with God. God does not want our deals. He wants our obedience.

    Let’s make a deal! There is a game show, “Let’s make a deal” first aired on December 30th, 1963, and still airs today. In this show there are times that you make a choice and get a really great deal. But there are times that you can make a choice and get a “Zonk”. It’s all about the choices you ...read more

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 6, 2022
     | 2,278 views

    The story of Jephthah, a judge of Israel, continues and takes us through deceit, stupidity, betrayal, victory, defeat. It reveals the honour of a daughter contrasted with the utter and complete disgrace of her father. Jephthah, a flawed man had to "battle his demons".

    Our words and promises carry deep consequences; God calls us to speak carefully, obey courageously, and trust His grace even when we fail.

    Friend, your words carry weight. Promises shape people. Vows mark moments. We know the power of a whispered “I do,” the gravity of “I’ll be there,” and the ache of “I’m sorry.” Words can build bridges, and words can burn them. Have you ever wished you could take a sentence back? Have you ever felt ...read more
