Date of Sermon: July 6, 2014
Main Idea: Our habit of forgetting God requires a savior Key Verse: "But when the people of Israel cried out to Yahweh Yahweh raised up a deliverer for the people of Israel, who saved them..." Judges 3:9 Bible Reading: 7 And the people of Israel did what was evil in the sight of the Lord. They forgot the Lord their God and served the Baals and the Asheroth. 8 Therefore the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Cushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia. And the people of Israel served Cushan-rishathaim eight years. 9 But when the people of Israel cried out to the Lord, the Lord raised up a deliverer for the people of Israel, who saved them, Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother. 10 The Spirit of the Lord was upon him, and he judged Israel. He went out to war, and the Lord gave Cushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand. And his hand prevailed over Cushan-rishathaim. 11 So the land had rest forty years. Then Othniel the son of Kenaz died. Outline: I. The Regression of Forgetting God (7-8) A. How people forget God B. God response to being forgotten C. People control the length of punishment II.
