Words Matter (Judges 6–12)

Date recorded: 17 May 2021 | Speaker: Peter J. Williams | Event: ELF Plenary Session
Topic: Theology

Description

Jephthah was used by God to rescue his people (Judges 11). However, he ruined a victory by his rash words. Today the temptation for leaders to abuse words, whether in speech or social media, is greater than ever and can have devastating effects. We need to look at our hearts and speak for the right reasons. Jephthah stands as a warning to us precisely because of the ways he contrasts with Jesus Christ.
