    The politician who sells out to special interests and who has no regard for life is not worthy of our loyalty. We need to get involved in the political process with a servant mentality.

    We have here in our church a long-standing tradition of the separation of church and state. We do not get involved in partisan politics. We do not support candidates, we do not give platforms to those running for political office. This sets us off from some other churches, where it is not at all ...read more

     | 1,721 views

    The citizens of Shechem were apparently in their fields for the purpose of tending their crops, and very probably without weapons of any kind. People could be seen going in and out of the city gate to support those harvesting the grapes. Abimelech slew them.

    Chapter 44 Destruction of Shechem [Judges 9.42-9.45] Scripture: Judges 9:42-45 (KJV) 42 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the people went out into the field; and they told Abimelech. 43 And he took the people, and divided them into three companies, and laid wait in the field, and ...read more

     | 2,540 views

    We are given the fable in Chapter 38 and now in Judges 9:16-20, Jotham gives the application of his fable, because there was no necessity for any special explanation of it, since it was perfectly clear and intelligible in itself.

    Chapter 39 Application of the Fable [Judges 9.16-9.21] Scripture: Judges 9:16-21 (KJV) 16 Now therefore, if ye have done truly and sincerely, in that ye have made Abimelech king, and if ye have dealt well with Jerubbaal and his house, and have done unto him according to the deserving of his ...read more

    Abimelech reigned, after a sort, for three years without any disturbance; he did not do any good for his country, but he was content as long he enjoyed the title and dignity of a king, and not only the Shechemites but many other places paid him respect.

     | 1,484 views

    Gaal’s aim was not to regain Shechem's liberty, but instead, to change their tyrant: "O that this people were under my hand! What I would do!—I would remove Abimelech from his kingly office, and rid Shechem of him, and all the country round about, and indeed remove him out of the world.

    Chapter 41 Gaal’s Call to Rebellion [Judges 9.26-9.29] Scripture: Judges 9:26-29 (KJV) 26 And Gaal the son of Ebed came with his brethren, and went over to Shechem: and the men of Shechem put their confidence in him. 27 And they went out into the fields, and gathered their vineyards, and ...read more

     | 1,642 views

    The tower of Shechem is where the elite of Shechem lived. It was part of the Temple of Baal-berith, and though we don’t know its location relative to the city, we do know that it served as the fortress to which the leaders of Shechem fled from the onslaught of Abimelech.

    Chapter 45 Tower of Shechem Burned [Judges 9.46-9.49] Scripture: Judges 9:46-49 (KJV) 46 And when all the men of the tower of Shechem heard that, they entered into an hold of the house of the god Berith. 47 And it was told Abimelech, that all the men of the tower of Shechem were gathered ...read more
