Jephthah: Hero of Feeble Faith [Judges 12:1-7]

August 9, 2015

Monty Simao 2014Sermon Notes

Date: 08/09/2015

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor

Series: Judges

Key Text: Judges 12:1-7 and Hebrews 11:32

Description:  After Jephthah’s defeat of the Ammonites and the wicked sacrifice of his own daughter, his troubles are not over.  He is rebuked by the Ephraimites and ends up fighting against them and over 40,000 Ephraimites die.  Israelite killing Israelite.

With all of the sinfulness and tragedy in the life of Jephthah, the book of Judges is not the only place we see mention of his name.  Jephthah surprisingly is listed in the “Hall of Faith” in Hebrews 11.  We explore how Jephthah might have “made the cut”.

Have You Considered My Servant Job? [Job 1:6-12]

April 13, 2014

Monty Simao 2014Sermon Notes

Date: 04/13/2014

Preacher: Monty Simao, elder

Series: Job

Key Text: Job 1:6-12

Description:  In our passage today, we see a glimpse into the heavenly throne room.  Satan obeys the summons to appear, and he comes as the accuser of God’s people.  God tells Satan to state for the record where he has been and Satan states that he has been going “to and fro on the earth.”  And then God asks Satan a question that challenges Satan: “Have you considered my servant Job?”

Satan accepts this challenge from God by saying that if God allows him to take away Job’s blessings that Job would curse God to His face.  Job would then be proved a fake and God would be guilty of nothing more than cosmic bribery.

The gauntlet has been thrown down…and it is God’s idea.
