Old Testament (1250)
  1. The Church is called to be counter-cultural, to stand out in order that the world might see and hear the truth and be brought into the Kingdom.
  2. Gideon gets some reassurance from an interpretation of a very strange dream. He and his reduced force go into battle with trumpets and jars. Why are all these victories so lopsided and how does Isaiah talk about this battle when speaking of the coming Christ?
  3. The Seed of the woman is he who will crush the head of the evil one and restore man to a right and proper relationship with God.
  4. Contending with false gods, fleeces, and a new nickname are all in store for Gideon.
  5. Because God makes the rules He is free to break them when He chooses, however, God only breaks His own rules on the side of grace!
  6. Bad things happen when you refuse to listen to God and Gideon meets Jesus.
  7. Obviously, the choice is very black and white: good or evil; life or death; blessings or curses...Unfortunately, the actions of the people will speak louder than their words.
  8. A song is sung by Deborah to cement what God has done in the history of Israel. Why does this song and others have an address to enemies? Why is God’s interaction with creation so personal?
  9. There are good, God-pleasing reasons to attend a Divine Service, but worship attendance can also be an action by which we try to earn or deserve the favor and love of God. This is an ongoing struggle in every worshiping community.
  10. Israel is in trouble again, so we are introduced to a prophetess judge named Deborah.
  11. A close examination of the entire life and ministry of Jesus reflects the Exodus event, and Jesus is the New Moses/the prophet like Moses.
  12. A left-handed man has a short sword and a message from God for a fat king.
