    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

    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

    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

    Thursday of 20th week in course 2015 Joy of the Gospel The Book of Judges is not an easy read. The stories of the years between Joshua and the Israelite king Saul are full of blood and gore–mutilations, treachery, and repeated violation of the Law by the people He chose. Here we see ...read more

    This sermon deals with how the spirit of shame can contribute to wrong choices.

    Jephthah did not let others get him down. He knew that his brothers were wrong when they rejected him. They told him that he would not have an inheritance. While attending the New Testament History class last month, at The College of Maasin we learned that illegitimate children would have an ...read more

    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

    The Rash Deliverer

    September 24, 2022 As noted last time, Gideon had 70 sons by various women.

All the citizens of Shechem and ...read more

     | 1,028 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
     | 246 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

    Jephthah = Rejection – Victory – And Disaster - All In The One Cup - Part 2 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 6, 2022
     | 2,367 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".
