Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Support our mission to teach every verse of the Bible. Read more here: Project23 Our text today is Judges 3:24-20 When he had gone, the servants came, and when they saw that the doors of the roof chamber were locked, they thought, “Surely he is relieving himself in the closet of the cool chamber.” And they waited till they were embarrassed. But when he still did not open the doors of the roof chamber, they took the key and opened them, and there lay their lord dead on the floor. Ehud escaped while they delayed, and he passed beyond the idols and escaped to Seirah. When he arrived, he sounded the trumpet in the hill country of Ephraim. Then the people of Israel went down with him from the hill country, and he was their leader. And he said to them, “Follow after me, for the Lord has given your enemies the Moabites into your hand.” So they went down after him and seized the fords of the Jordan against the Moabites and did not allow anyone to pass over. And they killed at that time about 10,000 of the Moabites, all strong, able-bodied men; not a man escaped. So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest for eighty years. — Judges 3:24-30 What could God do through your faith-filled courage if you actually stepped out today? Ehud's daring act in the palace wasn't the end—it was the beginning. Once the king fell, Ehud rallied Israel with a trumpet blast. Notice his words: “Follow after me, for the Lord has given your enemies into your hand.” This wasn't Ehud's victory—it was God's. But Ehud's faith lit the spark. Israel seized the fords, cut off Moab's retreat, and struck down 10,000 of their strongest soldiers. The result? Eighty years of peace. One man's courageous obedience unleashed a wave of victory for an entire nation. Your obedience today could be the turning point for more people than you realize. Ehud didn't just free himself—he freed his nation. Don't underestimate the ripple effect of your courage. When you lead your family in prayer, when you walk in integrity at work, when you take a stand for Christ, you create space for others to follow. Courage multiplies. Obedience inspires. Faith spreads. And the peace that comes isn't just for you—it blesses everyone around you. ASK THIS: Where do I need to blow the trumpet and step out in courage for God? Who might follow my lead if I lived boldly in faith? Do I believe my obedience can impact not just me, but generations? How does Ehud's story challenge my view of faith and courage? DO THIS: Take one bold step of faith today in an area you've been holding back. Trust God to use your obedience to influence more people than you can see. PRAY THIS: Lord, give me Ehud's courage to step out in faith. Use my obedience to bring victory and peace not just to me, but to those you've placed in my life. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Do It Again."
Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Support our mission to teach every verse of the Bible. Read more here: Project23 Our text today is Judges 3:12-23 And the people of Israel again did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, and the Lord strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done what was evil in the sight of the Lord. He gathered to himself the Ammonites and the Amalekites, and went and defeated Israel. And they took possession of the city of palms. And the people of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years. Then the people of Israel cried out to the Lord, and the Lord raised up for them a deliverer, Ehud, the son of Gera, the Benjaminite, a left-handed man. The people of Israel sent tribute by him to Eglon the king of Moab. And Ehud made for himself a sword with two edges, a cubit in length, and he bound it on his right thigh under his clothes. And he presented the tribute to Eglon king of Moab. Now Eglon was a very fat man. And when Ehud had finished presenting the tribute, he sent away the people who carried the tribute. But he himself turned back at the idols near Gilgal and said, “I have a secret message for you, O king.” And he commanded, “Silence.” And all his attendants went out from his presence. And Ehud came to him as he was sitting alone in his cool roof chamber. And Ehud said, “I have a message from God for you.” And he arose from his seat. And Ehud reached with his left hand, took the sword from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly. And the hilt also went in after the blade, and the fat closed over the blade, for he did not pull the sword out of his belly; and the dung came out. Then Ehud went out into the porch and closed the doors of the roof chamber behind him and locked them. — Judges 3:12-23 Why would God choose a left-handed man with a hidden dagger to deliver his people? Israel fell again, this time under the heavy hand of King Eglon of Moab. Eighteen years of oppression. And then, once more, the cry for help. God's answer? Ehud—a left-handed man. In a tribe where warriors were expected to be right-handed, Ehud was an outsider. But that “weakness” became his advantage. Guards didn't suspect the dagger strapped to his right thigh. In the palace, standing before the bloated king, Ehud struck—and Israel's deliverance began. This story feels raw, almost shocking. But it's here to remind us: God doesn't save the way we expect. He uses unlikely people, in unlikely ways, to accomplish his purposes. Maybe you feel like Ehud—overlooked, underestimated, maybe even carrying what others see as a weakness. But with God, that very thing can become your weapon for his glory. God's not looking for polished people with perfect resumes. He's looking for willing hearts. He loves to flip weakness into strength, using the very things others count out to bring about victory. Stop disqualifying yourself. If God can use Ehud's left hand, he can use your story. ASK THIS: What's one area of my life where I feel disqualified or overlooked? How might God want to use that “weakness” as a strength? Do I believe God can deliver in ways I don't expect? Where do I need to step out in bold, Ehud-like faith this week? DO THIS: Write down one personal “weakness” you usually hide. Then ask God how he might want to use it for his glory. Take one step to offer it back to him today. PRAY THIS: Father, use what I see as weakness to show your strength. Help me trust that you can work through the parts of me I least expect. Amen. PLAY THIS: "God of the Impossible."
In this Sunday's sermon, Pastor John shows how God uses us, even in our limitations, to reveal His power and grace. Just as He worked through Ehud's weakness, God transforms our frailties into strength for His glory, reminding us we can live unafraid when we trust Him fully.

Tomoka Christian Church Wednesday – Ormond Beach, Florida, USA
Sin imprisoned Israel in a downward spiral. And none of the judges had the power to break those chains! Ehud could kill King Eglon, but he couldn't stop Israel from running back to her idols.
Text: Proverbs 29:6 (ESV) 6 A man who flatters his neighborspreads a net for his feet. THE EVIL OF FLATTERY Undue compliments or excessive praises toward a person are expressions of flatteries. Being flattered is temptation, is it not?. A flatterer is dishonest. He is manipulative by lying (Prov 6:24; 26:28; 6:16–19). Smooth words set a trap for the person believing a flattery. An example of this is the sly, left-handed Ehud, who greeted the King of Moab with favorable words, then gruesomely assassinated the unsuspecting king (Judges 3:15–23). Most interpreters read this as a warning that the one who flatters sets a trap for himself. He set a net for himself, which speaks of being tangled in one's own sins. (Prov 29:6b) Sir Walter Scott, was right to say, "Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive." Here, the flatterer is spreading out a net that will eventually cause him to trip. Since flattery is lying, the flatterer risks being caught in his dishonesty by others. Liars are inconsistent. They are telling different things to different people, that would trap them someday. Or they may be forced to admit their praise was deceptive. Lies contradict truth, and they eventually contradict each other. What does this mean to us today? We as believers are summoned to recognize that lying is a work of the flesh that contradicts a life led by the Spirit (Gal 5:16). Paul commands the Colossians, "Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices" (Col 3:9).

Welcome back to My Seminary Life. We are picking things up after the break with ReOrientation; the special where we strip everything down and get back to basics, our pursuit of Jesus. For this year's edition, I sit down to look at Judges 3:12-31 at how Ehud delivered Israel from Moab and from it I challenge the common said phrase that "God works in mysterious ways." I think that statement does not represent how God works well and does damage to how we are to live. Instead, I reflect on how God works in unexpected ways and how Jesus is the ultimate fulfillment of that. Contact: emailseminarylife@gmail.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@StudioTwoOneNine

What you deem as a weakness or disadvantage in your life is God's advantage. Just like Ehud in the book of Judges 3:15-20, being left-handed was seen as abnormal during that time, but that is what God used to deliver the people of Israel from the captivity of Moab.
Judges 4 tells the powerful story of how God delivered Israel from the oppressive rule of King Jabin of Canaan through unexpected leaders. After the death of Ehud, the Israelites once again turned away from God, and the Lord allowed them to be oppressed for 20 years by Jabin, whose commander Sisera had 900 iron chariots. God raised up Deborah, a prophetess and judge over Israel, to guide the people. She summoned Barak and delivered God's command: gather 10,000 men to fight Sisera's army at Mount Tabor, and the Lord would give them victory. Barak agreed, but only if Deborah went with him — and she agreed, prophesying that the honor of killing Sisera would go to a woman. The Lord threw Sisera's forces into confusion, and Barak's army defeated them completely. Sisera fled on foot to the tent of Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite. She welcomed him, gave him milk, and let him rest — then, while he slept, she drove a tent peg through his head, killing him. Through Deborah's leadership, Barak's obedience, and Jael's courage, God gave Israel victory over Jabin's army, beginning the nation's liberation from oppression. Themes: •God can use anyone — man or woman — to fulfill His purposes. •Obedience brings victory, even against overwhelming odds. •Deliverance often comes in unexpected ways. #Judges4 #DeborahAndBarak #BibleStudy #WomenOfTheBible #Jael #FaithAndCourage #BibleStories #ScriptureReading #GodsVictory #FaithInAction #OldTestament #BibleTruth #SendMeRadio #ChristianFaith #BiblicalInspirationBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sendme-radio--732966/support.
Victories of the first three judges: Othniel, Ehud, Shamgar. Introduction to the prophetess Deborah.
Has This Ever Happened To You? with Guest Speaker Graham McCarthyJudges 3:12-30The story of Ehud and Eglon is a weird story and a small snippet of what we see happen over and over again in the book of judges. Through this story, we see the absurdity of our humanity's of violence, and it leaves us exhausted, making us long for a time when our cycles of absurdity come to an end, and we're ruled by a King that can bring our world to peace.For reflection & discussion:What stood out to you most from the sermon, and why?How does this message challenge or affirm your current understanding of God or faith?Was there a specific story, scripture, or phrase that you found especially meaningful or difficult?How can we live this out together in our daily lives or as a group?What is one step you feel invited to take this week in response to the sermon?
The function ש־ו־ב (shin–waw–bet) is not the sigh of remorse in a cloistered heart, but the pivot of a sword's edge; the turn God commands into the place where his name has been denied. Abraham returns from the valley of kings; Moses returns to the mountain, still breathing the smoke of the calf's golden stench; Gideon returns to the camp with the dream of victory burning in his ears. None turns to hide—all turn to face him.And ח־נ־ן (ḥet–nun–nun), to plead, is no bowing before the courts of men. The human reference vanishes. Job's feeble plea to his servant falls into the void. Malachi mocks the lips that beg for favor while the hands bring defilement. Proper pleading is stripped of flattery and calculation, bare as incense in the wind, carrying no name but his.In Luke's Gerasene plain, the return is marked by absence. The swine are gone, the crowd is gone, the man's former companions erased. He stands alone, clothed and found, with no community left to shield him, no filth left to hide him, no power left to reference but the one who sent him. This is the Day when the disbeliever is given back his own deed, when tribe and city and oath are dust, and a man stands naked before the Face that made him. This is the Day that the Lord has made. To return is to step into that bareness now, ahead of the Hour, with only obedience in your hands.“Return to your house, habibi, and describe what great things God has done for you.”This week, I discuss Luke 8:39.Show Notesδέομαι (deomai) / ח־נ־ן (ḥet–nun–nun) / ح–ن–ن (ḥāʾ–nūn–nūn)BEGGING IN VAINThe itinerary of ח־נ־ן (ḥet–nun–nun) / ح–ن–ن (ḥāʾ–nūn–nūn) opens with righteous entreaty to God in Deuteronomy 3:23 — “I pleaded [וָאֶתְחַנַּ֖ן (waʾetḥannan)] with the Lord at that time” — and proceeds to submission before his prophet in 2 Kings 1:13 — “he bowed down on his knees before Elijah and begged [וַיִּתְחַנֵּ֗ן (wayyiṭḥannēn)] him.” It is upheld as the correct course in Job 8:5 — “if you will search for God and implore [תִּתְחַנָּֽן (titḥannan)] the compassion of the Almighty” — but falters in Job 19:16, when Job seeks compassion from a human servant: “I called to my servant, but he gave me no answer; I pleaded [חִנַּ֖נְתִּי (ḥinnantī)] with him with my mouth.”Here, the root meets the same fork in the road as מ־צ־א (mem–ṣade–aleph) / و–ج–د (wāw–jīm–dāl) “to find.” To plead in the wrong direction is the verbal equivalent of being found in the wrong place—misoriented, exposed, and powerless. Job is “found out” in his misdirected appeal.The itinerary returns to proper alignment in Psalm 141:2 — “may my prayer be counted as incense before you” — where the supplication is again oriented toward God, the one who truly “finds” his slave. But the arc terminates with Malachi 1:9 — “will you not plead [חִנַּנְאֵל (ḥinnū-ʾēl)] for God's favor…with such an offering…will he receive any of you kindly?” Here, the prophet exposes the futility of petition without obedience. Even the correct address is worthless if the one who pleads is “found” corrupt.In Luke, δέομαι (deomai) follows the same itinerary. As with מ־צ־א, the point is not the act itself — searching, pleading, finding — but the reference. Mercy is not secured by human initiative, whether in seeking or in supplication, but by being found by God in faithful submission. To plead wrongly is to be found wrongly; to plead rightly is to be found rightly. Luke's use aligns with Malachi's charge: misplaced faith or hypocritical worship is no more effective than Job's appeal to his unresponsive servant.Deuteronomy 3:23 – וָאֶתְחַנַּ֖ן (waʾetḥannan) – I also pleaded with the Lord at that time, saying, – Moses petitions the Lord to let him cross the Jordan and view the promised land.2 Kings 1:13 – וַיִּתְחַנֵּ֗ן (wayyiṭḥannēn) – So the king again sent the captain of a third fifty with his fifty. When the third captain of fifty went up, he came and bowed down on his knees before Elijah, and begged him and said to him, “O man of God, please let my life and the lives of these fifty servants of yours be precious in your sight.” – A third captain approaches Elijah after the first two captains were destroyed. He kneels and requests preservation for himself and his men.Job 8:5 – וְאֶל־שַׁדַּ֥י תִּתְחַנָּֽן (weʾel-shadday titḥannan) – If you will search for God And implore the compassion of the Almighty, – Bildad advises Job to seek God and appeal for compassion.Job 19:16 – חִנַּ֖נְתִּי (ḥinnantī) – I called to my servant, but he did not answer; I implored him with my mouth. – Job recounts calling his servant and receiving no reply, even after pleading directly.Psalm 141:2 – תִּתְחַנָּֽה (titḥannah) – May my prayer be counted as incense before You; The raising of my hands as the evening offering. – The psalmist compares his prayer to incense and the lifting of hands to the evening offering.Malachi 1:9 – חִנַּנְאֵל (ḥinnū-ʾēl) – But now will you not plead for God's favor, so that He will be gracious to us? With such an offering on your part, will He receive any of you kindly?” says the Lord of armies. – The prophet challenges the priests to request God's favor despite their unacceptable offerings.ὑποστρέφω (hypostrephō) / ש־ו־ב (shin–waw–bet) / ث-و-ب (thāʾ–wāw–bāʾ)Finding, Pleading, Returning: Three Arcs Toward ConfrontationIn Luke 8, the healed man's commission to return [שׁוּב (shub)] to his city cannot be read in isolation. It is the culmination of three interwoven prophetic itineraries — מ־צ־א (mem–ṣade–aleph) “to find,” ח־נ־ן (ḥet–nun–nun) “to plead,” and ש־ו־ב (shin–waw–bet) “to return” — each carrying its own history of confrontation, exposure, and the tearing down of human constructs.The root מ־צ־א moves through Scripture as a pivot between encounter and judgment. To “find” is not neutral; it is to be located, exposed, or confronted by what is found. In Luke 8:35, the townspeople find the formerly demon-possessed man “clothed and in his right mind” — an exposure that drives them to fear. Their response aligns them not with Abraham's trust (Genesis 14:17), but with those who resist God's presence. “Then after his return [בְּשׁוּבוֹ (bə·shū·bō)] from the defeat of Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him, the king of Sodom went out to meet him at the Valley of Shaveh (that is, the King's Valley). (Genesis 14:17)The root ש־ו־ב is typically mistranslated as repentance in a theological sense. Still, in the prophetic arc, it signals a strategic pivot, a “turn” toward confrontation, often in the face of danger. In Genesis 14:17, Abraham's ש־ו־ב [בְּשׁוּבוֹ (bə·shū·bō)] from victory leads directly into confrontation with the king of Sodom. In Judges 3:19, Ehud turns back [שָׁב (shab)] to assassinate Eglon. But he himself turned back [שָׁב (shab)] from the idols which were at Gilgal, and said, “I have a secret message for you, O king.” And he said, “Silence!” And all who were attending him left him.” (Judges 3:19)In Exodus 32:31, Moses' return [וַיָּשָׁב (way·yā·shab)] to God comes after shattering the tablets, standing be...
We delve into the era of the Judges, a tumultuous period in Israel's history marked by cycles of disobedience, oppression, deliverance, and drift. We explore the lives and actions of key judges like Othniel, Ehud, Deborah, Gideon, and Samson, each raised by God to rescue Israel from its enemies. Despite their victories, however, Israel repeatedly falls back into sinful practices, leading to severe consequences. Amidst the moral darkness, the narrative of Ruth and Boaz shines as a light, illustrating God's providence and the preservation of the lineage leading to Israel's future, promised king.Support the showRead along with us in the Bible Brief App!

What if the thing that makes you feel most "different" is exactly what God wants to use to bring freedom to others? In this episode of the Open Door Sermon Podcast, Pastor Steven Mizell continues our "One Hit Wonders" series by diving into the fascinating story of Ehud - a left-handed man who became one of Israel's most unlikely heroes. In ancient times, being left-handed wasn't just unusual - it was considered suspicious, unclean, and weak. The very word "sinister" comes from the Latin word for "left." But what the world saw as a limitation, God saw as an opportunity for deliverance. Join us as we explore how Ehud's story reveals three powerful truths: What happens when God's presence leaves our lives How desperation can become the doorway to deliverance Why your greatest weakness might be your most dangerous weapon against the enemy Through humor, biblical insight, and practical application, Pastor Steven shows us that God doesn't always choose the obvious - He chooses the obedient. Your differences, your wounds, even your perceived disabilities could be the very things God uses to bring 80 years of peace to those around you. Key Scripture: Judges 3:12-30
Have you ever felt unqualified to follow God's calling in your life? In this powerful sermon, Brian invites us into the intriguing narratives found in the Book of Judges, focusing on the likely and unlikely heroes Othniel and Ehud. He paints a vivid picture of Israel's cyclical disobedience and God's unwavering faithfulness, illustrating how both judges, though vastly different, demonstrate God's ability to use anyone willing to obey. Othniel, the expected warrior, and Ehud, the left-handed underdog, reveal a profound truth: God does not rely on our perceived strengths or weaknesses; He desires our availability and obedience to carry out His divine plans. Brian encourages the congregation to recognize their potential for impact, no matter their background or personal doubts, drawing attention to the collective power of community in crying out to God for deliverance and guidance. This message resonates deeply as we navigate our own spiritual journeys—reminding us to respond to God's call with the faith that He equips those He calls. Join us as we explore how God is inviting you to step out in faith. Don't miss this transformative message—watch the full sermon now and let your heart be ignited!
Sin, repent—Rinse and repeat. That was Israel's spiritual resume, and they often paid dearly for it. But sometimes, a grace-filled God raised an unexpected leader to save them. In today's message, God's first-round draft choice was a left-handed (considered a defect in Jewish culture) man named Ehud and the incredible things God did through him.
Does God really use someone unexpected to do something extraordinary? In week two of our Overlooked series, Pastor Ron shares the powerful and surprising story of Ehud, a left-handed man whom God used to bring deliverance to His people. Through vivid passages from Judges 3 and reflections on Israel’s spiritual cycle, we’re reminded that God chooses the lowly, the different, and even the overlooked to carry out His mission.

After returning to the palace, Ehud ben Gera gets King Eglon alone and stabs him with his double-edged sword, and things get messy.
Judges 3:12-30. Ehud's story is violent, irreverent, and more like a modern action movie than most other scriptures. The story warrants our attention. In this study, Evangelist Gavin Williams seeks to discover what God is trying to teach us in the strange story of Ehud.
What if the thing you've always seen as a weakness is exactly what God wants to use? In this message from Judges 3, Pastor Adam Burton shares the powerful story of Ehud—a left-handed man from an unlikely tribe who became Israel's unexpected deliverer. Through Ehud's story, we discover a God who chooses ordinary, flawed people to do extraordinary things. No matter your past, your pain, or what others have said about you—God isn't finished with you yet.ABOUT CENTRAL BAPTIST CHURCHCentral Baptist Church is located in the heart of Maysville, Kentucky.

Former Prime Minister of Israel, Ehud Olmert stated, “There is no alternative but the path of two states”. He is absolutely against Benjamin Netanyahu.

The Book of Judges follows a repetitive cycle: Israelites worship idols, God allows enemies to oppress them, they cry out, and God raises a judge like Ehud to deliver them. Ehud, a left-handed man with a disabled right hand, kills the Moabite king Eglon, showing God uses unlikely heroes. God triumphs through our weakness, gives us salvation comes faith, overcomes opposition, and values availability over ability.
Andy Cooley teaches through the stories of Othniel and Ehud in Judges 3. Here we begin to see the spiraling of God's people away from him and his ways, and their lack of consistency in telling the next generation the story of his faithfulness. This leads into story after story of God's pursuit of his people - even when they forget, neglect, and drift away from him. We see in this book that God's anger is actually a sign of his love. His nature is "slow to anger", which means that for him to wield his anger, his people must have gone far away from him. His anger is a sign of his grace and love, meant to bring us back to him.

The first chapter of Judges starts with a message reminding Israel of their failure to keep the covenant they had made with God. An angel was sent to Bochim (meaning ‘weeping') to provoke this penitent response among God's people. Verses 6-10 tell us that whilst Joshua was alive and those who had been faithfully encouraged by him Israel remained faithful to God. Then the balance of the chapter unveils the cycle Israel experienced. Their sin led to suffering, in which they again turned to God and He raised up saviours (judges). The first 3 judges – Othniel, Ehud and Shamgar have the manner of their deliverance outlined in chapter 3. Whilst the trials we experience are different and may be more due to our own foolishness; and the suffering that we experience may not have been brought by God, yet He has allowed it to happen; do we learn from these mistakes to turn back to our gracious God. One thing they all shared was that in their weakness they were strengthened by God for His deliverance.
Think you're too small or unqualified to make a difference? Ehud's story proves otherwise. This week, we see how his life points to Jesus—and how you were uniquely crafted for a purpose. The question is: will you believe it and step into it?
