God Judges from the North part 3
Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Today's shout-out goes to Jeff Grasty from Rock Hill, SC. Thank you for your partnership with us through Project23. Our text today is Judges 11:29-31. Then the Spirit of the Lord was upon Jephthah, and he passed through Gilead and Manasseh and passed on to Mizpah of Gilead, and from Mizpah of Gilead he passed on to the Ammonites. And Jephthah made a vow to the Lord and said, "If you will give the Ammonites into my hand, then whatever comes out from the doors of my house to meet me when I return in peace from the Ammonites shall be the Lord's, and I will offer it up for a burnt offering." — Judges 11:29-31 Here is that terminology again: "the Spirit of the Lord clothed Jephthah." Meaning God himself equipped him with power for the battle. Victory was already guaranteed because God was already present. But Jephthah didn't rest in that assurance. He made a vow—an unnecessary bargain with God. This was the irony: the Spirit of God was enough, yet Jephthah bartered like it wasn't. Jephthah complicated his doubt with a detrimental bargain. We are all guilty of this. God gives us the Holy Spirit, the very presence and power that raised Jesus from the dead. Yet instead of moving forward in faith, we add conditions. We say, "God, if you show up, I'll be faithful. If you bless me, then I'll obey. If you fix this, then I'll finally trust You." When he already lives within us. But bargaining with God is not faith—it's fear dressed up as faith. It reveals our insecurity more than our devotion. The Spirit of God already provides everything we need for life and godliness (2 Peter 1:3). Remember, when you add conditions, you don't secure more of God's favor—you forfeit the peace of trusting Him. The Spirit is enough. Always has been. Always will be. So identify where you've been making deals with God, and instead act in simple, Spirit-led obedience. ASK THIS: Where am I complicating God's promises with my own conditions? How am I bargaining with God instead of simply believing Him? What step of faith could I take today to show I trust His Spirit is enough? DO THIS: Stop adding fine print to God's promises. Identify one area where you've been making deals with God, and instead act in simple, Spirit-led obedience. PRAY THIS: Lord, forgive me for complicating what You've already completed. Help me to rest in Your Spirit, trust Your promises, and move forward in bold faith without bargaining. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Same Power."
Paul responds to rumors his followers are freeloaders.Jesus recognizes the biggest donor.PASSAGE OF THE DAY 21 "For as the Father raises the dead and gives life to them, even so the Son gives life to whom He will. For the Father judges no one, but has committed all judgment to the Son, that all should honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him. Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life."John 5:21 - 24

Creation to Christ: God judges a sinful world|Ashley Hood|2025-10-12 by The Apex Church
God Judges from the North part 1
The world celebrates self-sufficiency and strength, but God often works through our weaknesses.Just as Gideon defeated an army of 135,000 with only 300 men, trumpets, and torches, God delights in using the unexpected to accomplish His purposes. In this message we learned that God often strips away our self-reliance so we can experience His divine power. Where in our lives might we need to let go of our own "armies" and trust in God's power alone?

Have you ever wondered what God truly knows about you—the things no one else can see, even the secrets buried deep in your heart? In Romans 2:1–4, Paul reminds us that one day God will judge the hidden motives of people. In today's teaching episode, we'll explore why His judgment is perfectly fair, how it shows our need for grace, and what it means to live honestly before Him.
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 3:9-11 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. 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. So the land had rest forty years. Then Othniel the son of Kenaz died. — Judges 3:9-11 What happens when God's Spirit fills an ordinary man? Israel cried out. And God answered—not with an army, but with a man. Othniel wasn't flashy. He wasn't famous. He was Caleb's younger brother, living in the shadow of a great warrior. Yet when the Spirit of the Lord came upon him, everything changed. Notice the shift: Israel cried. God raised. The Spirit empowered. Victory came. Peace followed. This is God's pattern. He takes an ordinary man, fills him with his Spirit, and uses him to deliver his people. Never underestimate what God can do through you when his Spirit fills you. You don't need the perfect résumé, the loudest voice, or the sharpest skills. What you need is surrender to God's Spirit. The battles you face aren't won by sheer grit but by God's Spirit working through you. Othniel's story reminds us: victory doesn't rest on the size of the man, but on the strength of the God in the man. ASK THIS: When was the last time I cried out to God for deliverance instead of trying to fix things myself? Do I believe God's Spirit can work powerfully through me right now? What keeps me from full surrender to God's Spirit? Where in my life do I need to step forward in faith like Othniel? DO THIS: Today, pray specifically for the Spirit of the Lord to empower you in one area where you feel weak—and then take one step of faith into that battle. PRAY THIS: Holy Spirit, fill me today. Use me, like you used Othniel, to bring your victory and your peace where I cannot on my own. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Same God."
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 on video over the next 23 years. Read more about it here: PROJECT23 Our text today is Judges 2:6-10: When Joshua dismissed the people, the people of Israel went each to his inheritance to take possession of the land. And the people served the Lord all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great work that the Lord had done for Israel. And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, died at the age of 110 years. And they buried him within the boundaries of his inheritance in Timnath-heres, in the hill country of Ephraim, north of the mountain of Gaash. And all that generation also were gathered to their fathers. And there arose another generation after them who did not know the Lord or the work that he had done for Israel. — Judges 2:6-10 Joshua's generation had seen the mighty works of God. They walked through the Jordan. Watched Jericho fall. Inherited a land they didn't deserve. They served God faithfully during Joshua's lifetime, and a little beyond. But then something terrifying happened. The next generation didn't know the Lord. Not just that they didn't follow him. They didn't even know him. That's not just spiritual drift. That's spiritual negligence. Somewhere along the line, the storytelling stopped. The personal testimonies faded. The discipleship broke down. The fathers assumed their faith would be passed on without intentionality. It didn't. This is one of the most sobering verses in all of Judges. It reminds us that spiritual inheritance is never automatic. It must be pursued, communicated, and modeled. Your kids won't inherit your faith through osmosis. They'll catch it when they see it lived, taught, and treasured. And the men around you? They're watching too. If you don't talk about God's faithfulness, who will? If you don't model repentance, courage, and trust, what will they imitate? We are always one generation away from forgetting God. But we're also one conversation, one moment of obedience, one act of spiritual leadership away from changing that. Don't assume. Disciple. ASK THIS: Am I being intentional about passing on my faith? Who in my life needs to hear what God has done for me? What spiritual habits am I modeling for the next generation? How can I turn assumptions into intentional action today? DO THIS: Tell one younger person in your life today about something God has done for you, and why it matters. PRAY THIS: Lord, don't let me waste my spiritual influence. Help me lead those behind me to know You deeply and love You faithfully. Amen PLAY THIS: "Faithful Now."

Send us a textAs we continue our descent in the cycle of the judges, things start to feel very shaky. Was Jephthah chosen by God or did God use him because that's who the people picked? Jephthah brought about an incredible victory for the Lord, but that victory gets overshadowed by his vow. Even after he made that vow, did he have other options?

Judges 6:1-27 - Called by God - Pastor Jeremy Hill
This message from Ezekiel 25 looks at the judgement prophecies directed to the foreign nations. We can see some helpful reminders here…..
Something is broken.Everyone knows it.The question is: how did we get here? And what's the solution to the brokenness we experience in this life?At our core, the question we have to process through in order to understand the root of what is broken is this: What is sin? What effects does it have upon us? And what's God's response to it?If we were to ask some of our neighbors or coworkers to define “sin,” they'd come up with loads of answers that focus on problems that aren't the root issue. They are symptoms of the Fall, but not the root of the issue. And if we polled Christians around us about the nature of sin, we'd discover all kinds of misconceptions about sin mixed into their understanding as well.It seems that there is a lot of confusion around sin.The question we will be tackling is: what does the Bible say about sin? That's what we are after this week as we examine Genesis 3. This foundational chapter helps us understand the first sin and how things became broken … ultimately, it helps us understand God, His character and nature, and also see His passionate pursuit of justice and also the surprising nature of grace available to guilty sinner who deserve His judgment.

When the forces of law and justice become corrupt, then society falls apart.
When a nation's leaders are held to account before God, what will they be judged for? As Charlie's pastor Rob McCoy explains, above all leaders will be judged on whether they enabled their people to obey and worship God.
