1. God will never forsake his children, even when they disobey him, as demonstrated when he continued to help Israel after their failure to properly attack Ai.
2. God can take the mistakes of his children and turn them into positive results, as he used Israel's original failed strategy against Ai to deceive and trap the city's men.
3. While God gives the overall plan, he allows freedom within his guidelines to develop specific strategies, like how he let Joshua plan tactics to take Ai but kept the overall framework.
The document provides an overview of the Book of Judges in the Bible. It discusses the structure, main characters like Deborah, Gideon and Samson, themes of sinning and repentance, and God delivering the Israelites from their enemies. It also analyzes the nature of leadership depicted in the Book of Judges, how the leaders were more military figures than ideal rulers, and how this led Israel to need a king for stable central governance.
The document describes David's journey from shepherd to king. It details how God anointed David as king after removing Saul from power. As a shepherd, David developed his faith and courage by fighting wild animals. He then conquered his fear of Goliath by killing the giant Philistine warrior. David recognized God's favor when Saul blessed him for refusing to kill the king. The document outlines David's path to leadership and leaving behind a godly legacy.
1) The kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon formed an alliance to attack Gibeon for making a peace treaty with Israel.
2) Gibeon appealed to Joshua for help, and Joshua and the Israelite army marched all night to defend Gibeon from the Amorite kings.
3) God helped Israel defeat the Amorite kings, killing more with hailstones than Israel killed with swords.
The document discusses the history of division among God's people in Israel and Judah. It describes how the 12 tribes of Israel struggled with conflict under Jacob and King David. The northern 10 tribes eventually separated from Judah and Benjamin. During the time of King Ahaz, Israel and Aram attacked Judah but the prophet Isaiah foretold that a child would be born who would bring peace and rule over God's people as a mighty God and prince of peace, referring to Jesus Christ. The document finds hope for today's divisions in Christ's coming as ruler over all.
The document provides an overview of the book of Joshua from the Bible. It discusses key events like the Israelites crossing the Jordan River, the battle of Jericho where God instructs them to march around the city for 7 days before its walls come tumbling down, their defeat in the battle of Ai due to Achan's disobedience, the Gibeonite deception where they trick Joshua into making a treaty, and Joshua's southern campaign including miracles where the sun stands still and hail kills their enemies. The document ends by noting Joshua divides the land among the tribes and instructs them to drive out the remaining Canaanites before his death.
During the period of the Judges from 1250 BC to 1020 BC, Israel was led by charismatic figures called Judges rather than having a centralized government. Some of the major Judges included Deborah, who advised military leaders and accompanied Barak into battle; Gideon, who was called by God to save Israel from the Midianites with a small army; and Samson, who had superhuman strength from his uncut hair but eventually revealed his secret and died bringing down the Philistine temple. The last Judge, Samuel, transitioned Israel to the period of the Kings and was both a prophet and spiritual leader.

Uriah was a loyal soldier in David's army who refused the king's orders to spend the night with his wife Bathsheba, remaining faithful to his fellow soldiers during their campaign. David's sins of adultery with Bathsheba and orchestrating Uriah's death by sending him to the front lines had far-reaching negative consequences, humbling David and weakening his authority. Uriah demonstrated strong patriotism, loyalty, and faithfulness to God by refusing to enjoy comforts at home while others suffered in battle.
The Book of Joshua describes the Israelites conquering Canaan under Joshua's leadership after Moses' death. Key events include crossing the Jordan River, marching around Jericho which causes its walls to fall, defeating the Amorite kings who attacked Gibeon, and dividing the land among the tribes. The book emphasizes obeying God and avoiding assimilation into Canaanite culture. Joshua prepares the people to continue without him before he dies at age 110.
THE ENTIRE HISTORY OF THE CONQUEST OF THE PROMISED LAND IS A PROPHECY OF THE SPIRITUAL CONQUEST OF THE WORLD THROUGH THE CHURCH UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF JESUS THE MESSIAH.
The document summarizes the life of Abiathar as written about in 1 Kings and 2 Kings. It describes how Abiathar escaped death twice - once when Saul killed Ahimelech and the priests at Nob, and again when he supported Adonijah but was spared by Solomon. It discusses Abiathar's roles as priest, carrying the ark before David and consulting God. It notes how Abiathar experienced personal trauma like David and could understand the king's hardships. It also describes how Abiathar owned property but later supported the wrong heir and was disqualified as priest, fulfilling the prophecy against Eli's line of priests.
The document discusses four giants that were killed by young Israelite men during the time of King David. Each giant's name is described as representing a spiritual enemy or "giant" that Christians face today. The first giant, Ishbi-benob meaning "discouragement", was killed by Abishai meaning "faithfulness of God", representing the need to remain faithful to God and not be discouraged. The second giant, Saph meaning "to destroy", was killed by Sibbecai meaning "supernatural intervention of God", representing the need for God's supernatural help against the enemy seeking to destroy God's kingdom. The third giant, Lahmi meaning "to harass", was killed by Elhanan meaning
Become The Person God Wants You To Be,Become A Cell Leader In The Church Sept...Edward John Bucles
This document discusses how to become a leader that God wants you to be through the example of Gideon from the book of Judges. It outlines four steps: 1) yield to God's call to be a leader, 2) build an altar to God by prioritizing worship over other commitments, 3) follow God's changes by transforming your character, and 4) maintain a growing faith through challenges that strengthen it. The conclusion states that deliverance from oppression in the Philippines depends on Christians obeying God by becoming leaders in his kingdom.
David's road to the throne exemplifies putting the matter into God's hands, rather than one's own hands. Though he has to be reminded by the wise Abigail, when it comes to dealing with his enemies, David relies on God's timing.
In this lesson, we briefly review the drama that takes place between 1 Samuel 24 and 2 Samuel 4 (cf. David Sparing Saul... Again), before focusing on the three reasons why David is finally anointed king of the United Kingdom in 2 Samuel 5.

1. King David grew old and could no longer stay warm, so his attendants sought out a young woman named Abishag to serve and care for him.
2. Meanwhile, Adonijah declared himself king, gaining support from Joab and Abiathar but not from Zadok, Benaiah, Nathan and others. He sacrificed animals but did not invite Nathan, Benaiah or Solomon.
3. The document calls for doing something the right way and giving up other ways, citing passages about testing one's own work rather than comparing to others and focusing on living by faith in Christ rather than oneself.

1) David was looking to show kindness to any remaining descendants of King Saul for the sake of his friendship with Saul's son Jonathan.
2) One of Saul's former servants, Ziba, informed David that Jonathan had a son named Mephibosheth who was lame, living in hiding. David summoned Mephibosheth and promised to show him kindness for Jonathan's sake.
3) Mephibosheth humbly came before David and was restored all of Saul's lands. He was given a place at the king's table and treated like one of the king's sons.
This document contains notes from a Bible study on 1 Samuel 29. The notes summarize that the Philistines gathered their armies to fight against Israel. David and his men were with Achish, the king of the Philistines. However, the Philistine princes distrusted David and demanded that Achish send him back. Achish had no choice but to agree. David then departed with his men as the Philistines prepared to engage Israel in battle.
The document discusses the importance of faith and provides examples from the Bible of Caleb and Jonathan demonstrating strong faith. It describes how Caleb, despite his old age, had faith God would give him the mountain he was promised. Jonathan also acted in faith that God would deliver the Philistines into Israel's hands, even though they were outnumbered. Both examples show how having faith in God and following Him fully can lead to overcoming obstacles and defeating enemies.
The document summarizes events in the life of King David after the death of Saul. It discusses David inquiring of God about whether to go to Judah, and being told to go to Hebron. There, the men of Judah anointed David as their king. At the same time, Saul's son Ishbosheth was made king over the other tribes by Abner. Abner and Joab later fought a battle between their armies, and Abner was able to escape when Asahel was killed while chasing him. Joab and Abner each lost men in the battle. The document emphasizes walking in God's will and on His side, as well as obeying His commands out of love.
The document provides details about an upcoming gospel concert in Rossville, GA on February 19 at 7:00 pm at the Gospel Baptist Tabernacle located at 781 Salem Road. It then summarizes passages from the Bible describing Joshua's battles in conquering the land of Canaan as commanded by God and Moses, defeating the kings and destroying the cities, with the exception of Gibeon who made peace with Israel.
The document discusses the story of Daniel from the Bible. It describes how Daniel and his friends were taken captive to Babylon and given Babylonian names and training for three years. However, Daniel resolved in his heart not to defile himself by eating the king's food or drinking his wine. This showed that despite the situation, Daniel remained committed to his faith and moral principles. The key lessons are that followers of Jesus should live by God's power rather than just words, and remain resolved in their decisions as Daniel was.
A verse by verse commentary on Judges 6 dealing with the Lord calling Gideon to be a mighty warrior, and he resisted the call of the Angel of the Lord. It took a miracle to convince him.
The Israelites suffered oppression from the Midianites for seven years because of their sin. The Midianites invaded the land, destroying crops and leaving the Israelites impoverished. When the Israelites cried out to God for help, he sent a prophet to remind them that he had delivered them from Egypt and the Amorites. God then called Gideon, from the weakest clan, to save Israel from the Midianites. Though fearful, Gideon met with an angel of God and was reassured, building an altar called "The Lord is Peace."

The document provides a summary of Judges 6, which tells the story of Gideon. It describes how the Israelites were oppressed by Midian for seven years due to their disobedience. God calls Gideon to save Israel from Midian despite Gideon's doubts and weakness. Gideon asks God for two signs by putting fleece on the ground to confirm God's calling. God provides the signs. Gideon then destroys the altar of Baal and leads an army of 300 men to defeat the Midianites, showing that God was with them.
This document provides summaries of 12 inspirational leaders from the Bible:
Noah obeyed God's command to build an ark even though he was alone in his faith. Abraham embraced the unknown when God called him to leave his home. Joseph endured difficult circumstances with a vision that sustained him. Moses courageously stood up for the Israelites facing slavery. Joshua led by example rather than command. Samuel honestly admonished people when they did wrong. David faced the giant Goliath without fear. Isaiah rose to the occasion when called to be a prophet. Daniel maintained his resolve without regard for consequences. John the Baptist called out dishonesty without fear. Peter recovered from his failure to deny Jesus. Paul was passionately driven by
The document discusses the book of Judges in the Bible. It summarizes that the cycle shown in Judges is that the Israelites would be obedient and blessed by God, then turn to idolatry and self-reliance which led to oppression and bondage. They would then repent and cry out to God, who would send a deliverer to save them. It specifically discusses how Gideon was chosen by God to deliver the Israelites from the oppressive Midianites, despite his doubts, and how he and just 300 men were able to achieve victory through God's power.
This document provides a summary of Judges 6, which recounts the story of Gideon. It discusses how Gideon, though fearful, was called by God to save Israel from the Midianites. Gideon asked God for signs to confirm his calling, including putting out a fleece both times receiving confirmation. Gideon then recruited an army and, with God's help, defeated the Midianites with only 300 men. The document examines lessons from Gideon's story, including when it may be appropriate to seek signs from God and when it constitutes putting God to the test.
1. The Gibeonites deceived Joshua and the Israelites into making a treaty with them by pretending to be from a distant land, when they actually lived nearby. 2. Once the treaty was made, the Israelites could not break it because it was sworn before God. 3. Joshua allowed the Gibeonites to live but as woodcutters and water carriers serving the whole assembly and altar of God. Their descendants, the Nethinim, faithfully served this role and were blessed.
The document provides context and summaries for several stories from the book of Judges in the Bible. It discusses the stories of Deborah, Gideon, Jael, Samson, and Ruth in relation to themes of the great controversy between God and Satan. Key points made include:
- Deborah inspires confidence as a judge of Israel during a time of oppression. God uses Jael to defeat the enemy leader Sisera despite impossible odds.
- Gideon doubts himself but is chosen by God to deliver Israel from the Midianites. Through signs of assurance, Gideon gains confidence in God's presence with him.
- Samson's life starts with a divine purpose but he dis
1. Saul broke a covenant that Joshua had made with the Gibeonites hundreds of years earlier by slaying them, which brought a famine upon Israel for three years.
2. David asked the Gibeonites how he could make amends, and they requested seven of Saul's sons be handed over to them to be hanged.
3. Seven of Saul's descendants were hanged by the Gibeonites, ending the famine that had been plaguing Israel as a result of Saul's breaking of the covenant.

1) The document describes how the Israelites were defeated in battle against Ai because one man, Achan, had stolen dedicated items in violation of God's commands.
2) Achan confessed to stealing a beautiful robe, silver, and gold, which Joshua and the Israelites discovered buried in his tent.
3) Achan, his family, and possessions were taken to the Valley of Achor where he and his family were stoned for his sin, which had brought trouble upon the Israelites.
The document discusses time gaps that are common in biblical prophecies. It notes that prophecies often contain two parts separated by a long time gap of hundreds or thousands of years. Sometimes these gaps occur mid-sentence. It argues that Javier Solana's retirement is not a theological problem because gaps are a normal feature of prophecy, and God appoints political rulers, including the Antichrist, to fulfill his purposes even if the timing may not seem politically plausible. It concludes by affirming God's sovereignty in declaring the end from the beginning and establishing his plan.

The document provides an introduction and summary of Judges 1-3 from the Book of Judges. It discusses how after Joshua's death, the Israelites did not fully drive the Canaanites from the Promised Land and compromised with their enemies. When the people disobeyed God, he allowed their enemies to oppress them. The cycle of the Israelites sinning, being oppressed, crying out to God, and being rescued by judges, is introduced.
God promises his followers that Judah will be protected when Syria and Israel form an alliance against them. The prophet Isaiah tells King Ahaz of Judah not to fear the other kingdoms because within 65 years they will be destroyed. Ahaz refuses a sign from God confirming this. Isaiah then prophesies that a virgin will conceive and bear a son named Immanuel, as a sign that God will protect Judah. True to the prophecy, Assyria destroys Syria and Israel within the predicted timeframe.
Pink, “It is precious to see that these words of all the tribes of Israel, "we are thy bone and thy flesh," were used by them as a plea. They had long ignored his rights and resisted his claims. They had been in open revolt against him, and deserved nought but judgment at his hands. But now they humbled themselves before him, and pleaded their near relation to him as a reason why he should forgive their ill usage of him. They were his brethren, and on that ground they sought his clemency.
This document contains a 20 question Bible test review covering topics such as alliances smaller nations formed to oppose larger ones, the nations that conquered Judah and Assyria (Babylon), the king that conquered Judah and took the people into exile (Nebuchadnezzar), and the place God revealed himself (The Temple).

This document provides an overview of the Book of Judges in the Hebrew Bible. It summarizes the key events and figures in three parts: 1) After Joshua's generation dies, the Israelites turn away from God and are ruled by various judges; 2) The exploits of judges like Othniel, Ehud, Deborah, Gideon, and Samson who deliver the Israelites from their enemies are described; 3) The document notes that despite these judges, the Israelites continue in a cycle of disobeying God, being oppressed by enemies, crying out for help, and receiving deliverance by judges, showing they are not fully faithful to God's covenant.
The 2017 New Year's Day service focused on thanking God, forgiving others and forgetting past mistakes, worshipping and trusting God more, resting in His plans, and finishing the race of life well. The constant reminder was that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever.
This document calls on women to commit themselves to ministry work. It references biblical passages about women who worked for God, including Lydia who was Paul's first convert in Europe and opened her home as a church, and Phoebe who was a deaconess highly praised by Paul for her service. The document argues that one's status or age should not hinder commitment to God's work, and that supporting ministry is important. It concludes by exhorting women to step up and commit now to the ministry of God, as change is coming.
The document discusses the story of Jonah from the Bible. It describes how Jonah was reluctant to follow God's command to go preach to Nineveh, a great city, because of his cultural prejudice against them. Instead of obeying, Jonah fled by sea. When a big storm arose, Jonah admitted it was his fault and was thrown overboard, after which he was swallowed by a big fish. The people of Nineveh then repented from their wickedness upon receiving Jonah's message. However, Jonah was still angry that God did not destroy Nineveh as he expected. The conclusion encourages obeying God fully rather than running away, and not being angry at God like Jonah was.
Scribes and Pharisees try to trap Jesus by bringing a woman caught in adultery. They ask what should be done according to the law of Moses. Jesus responds by writing in the dirt and saying whoever is without sin should cast the first stone. The accusers leave one by one until only Jesus and the woman remain. Jesus tells her he does not condemn her and tells her to sin no more.
Jesus showed compassion by preaching and healing people. The sermon discussed compassion as showing pity, concern, and kindness. It examined God's compassionate nature by looking at his characteristics, experiencing his compassion, and drawing near to his compassion, as seen in passages like Deuteronomy 3:15-17 and Exodus 33:19. The sermon encouraged people not to let go of compassion.
This document summarizes MFGC Vision Casting's goals and results for 2015 in 5 areas: new believers, ministry involvement, attendance, training and enrichment, and mentoring. It reports they fell short of their evangelism and new believer goals but exceeded ministry involvement. Attendance goals were mostly met. Training and enrichment saw low actual participation. No mentoring activity occurred in 2015. It then outlines a roadmap to 2018 with connecting members in 2016, equipping them through training in 2017, and sending them on missions in 2018 as they celebrate 50 years.

The document discusses the four main types of love described in the Bible: agape, which is selfless and unconditional love; eros, which refers to physical love between married couples; philia, meaning brotherly love or close friendship that Christians are encouraged to have for one another; and storge, describing the familial love between family members such as parents, siblings, and children.
The document contains quotes from Billy Graham, Horace Greeley, and Woodrow Wilson emphasizing the importance and benefits of reading the Bible every day. It states that the Bible answers every human need, supplies faith and strength, and that its principles are the foundation for human freedom. Woodrow Wilson expresses regret for those who deprive themselves of the strength and pleasure of reading the Bible daily.
This document discusses the inspiration, canonization, preservation, and circulation of the Bible. It explains that the Bible was written by 40 authors over 1500 years, yet contains a unified message from God. It describes how the Christian community accepted certain texts as divinely inspired and how the Bible has been remarkably preserved despite many attempts to destroy it. The document notes the Bible's spectacular global circulation, with translations by reformers allowing more people to access God's word.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

4. Judges 6:1- 10
The Israelites did evil in the eyes of
the LORD, and for seven years he gave
them into the hands of the
Midianites. 2
Because the power of Midian
was so oppressive, the Israelites prepared
shelters for themselves in mountain clefts,
caves and strongholds. 3
Whenever the
Israelites planted their crops, the
Midianites, Amalekites and other eastern
peoples invaded the country.
5. 4
They camped on the land and ruined the
crops all the way to Gaza and did not spare
a living thing for Israel, neither sheep nor
cattle nor donkeys. 5
They came up with
their livestock and their tents like swarms of
locusts. It was impossible to count them or
their camels; they invaded the land to
ravage it. 6
Midian so impoverished the
Israelites that they cried out to
the LORD for help.
7
When the Israelites cried out to
the LORD because of Midian,
6. 8
he sent them a prophet, who said, “This is
what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: I
brought you up out of Egypt, out of the land
of slavery. 9
I rescued you from the hand of
the Egyptians. And I delivered you from the
hand of all your oppressors; I drove them
out before you and gave you their land. 10
I
said to you, ‘I am the LORD your God; do
not worship the gods of the Amorites, in
whose land you live.’ But you have not
listened to me.”

ka lamang at maaari ka pa rin gamitin
ng Diyos tungo sa tagumpay.
