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

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

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 6, 2022
     | 2,221 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".

    JEPHTHAH = REJECTION – VICTORY – AND DISASTER - ALL IN THE ONE CUP - PART 2 Read PART 1 before reading this second part. It will then make a lot more sense.

     | 638 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
     | 131 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

     | 70 views

    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
