2025-05-18 Ben Grisez Judges 8,29 - 9,21 The Folly of Forgetfulness

Calvary Chapel Sydney

Synopsis: After the death of Gideon, the children of Israel did not remember the LORD and plunged back into idolatry. This departure from God led to Abimelech's murderous scheme to kill his brothers and rule over Shechem. Jotham, Gideon's youngest son, escaped and pronounced a curse God would bring to pass in due time. Remembering Jesus is what God's people are called to do.
