A special guest

Today was a bit different than normal in that one of our missionaries that we support here at Kendrick was able to come to share with us today. His name is Theo Kisavi, and he and his wife work to provide support and training to people in Kenya, primarily through working with children. Part of their ministry is an orphanage there that feeds and cares for children in the region, and if you'd like to read more about what they're doing, you can check them out at this website HERE.

Idolatry

Going through the book of Judges is a bit like watching a trainwreck: horrifying, but you can't look away. In the passage we studied today, the narrator gives us the synopsis of Judges, including a description of the cycle of sin, servitude, supplication, and salvation that Israel would follow.

Idolatry isn't as far removed from us as we would like to think, and can be anything that we exalt over the worship of God. Today's passage is a good reminder to be careful of creeping idolatry in our own hearts.

Starting off in a new book

This morning, we began a new sermon series in the book of judges. Judges is a pretty straightforward book in the Old Testament, but the content is sometimes a bit depressing. Israel did what was right in its own eyes. The cycle of sin, discipline, repentance, and deliverance happens over and over again. It's a good place for us to look and see God's gracious dealings with His people, and also see how little sins have grave consequences.

Mother's Day

Mom's are pretty special, no doubt about it. But that's like saying that the Empire State Building is tall. No kidding, Sherlock!


Anyway, mother's can have tremendous influence not only on their own children, but generations of children after them. We may never know what effects our current actions can have, but mothers can certainly see from the women we looked at today that the effects can be far reaching.

Last words

With our passage today, we complete the second letter to the Thessalonias. There is some very practical, up-front information to them, and it's still very valuable to us today.
