5th Sunday of Easter and Communion Sunday. Rev. Dan Bogre will be preaching from Judges 11:29-40.
Jephthah made a promise to God. If God would do “X” for Jephthah, then he would do “Y” for God. It all sounded good until it involved his one and only child, a daughter. How many times have we made the same deal with God, maybe in regards to a job, a physical healing, a wish for a child, or to be rich?
God, as He always does, delivers on His promise, and when it comes time for us to deliver on ours, we simply shout, “OH NO!”
What will God’s call look like for us to live into the WHATEVER IT TAKES moments of our lives? Are we preparing ourselves for them? Are we in a deep enough relationship with His Son to say YES to them, or will you, like Jephthah, shout “OH NO” when your call comes?
