Jephthah's Daughter- A Woman Of Faith And Grace Series
Contributed by Neil Partington on Jul 5, 2007 (message contributor)
Summary: We all make dumb mistakes. Jephthah certainly did when he made a vow to the Lord that could affect someone else. That someone was his daughter. This sermon looks at the story as it lifts Jephthah’s daughter up as a woman of grace and faith.
Especially when it could have hurt someone else
We need to remain faithful to God
We can’t control other people and their actions.
We can only control our own actions.
Jephthah’s Daughter couldn’t control her father’s dumb mistake of making a vow.
In the same way, we need to remain focused in Christ in everything we say and do
B/c as long as we are Christ centered, it won’t matter what others do to us.
We are saved
The future is an uncertain world, but with Christ our certainty rests in His Glory and Salvation.
Jephthah’s daughter demonstrated that for us.
