Jepthah vow

Just as Jepthah was rejected by his own brothers and family, so Jesus was rejected by the very ones He came to save. Join Pastor Cameron as we look into this parallel on today's episode. 

Join Pastor Cameron as we look at the next judge in our series "Jesus in Judges" - Jepthah. Jepthah was a rough man, rejected by his own people, who was mightily used by God.

Gospel Daily with Josh Weidmann Jepthah: First or Faithful? Part 1 Series: Judges Scripture: Judges 11 & 12 Episode: 1253

In this episode of The Story of Scripture, Ted Ryskoski, Lance Lawson, and Rachel Chester discuss Gideon and Jepthah. These two judges of Israel seem to be faithful leaders, but inevitably lead God's people further into idolatry and violence. In these hard-to-read stories, there is both the depth of human depravity, and the surprising, patient faithfulness of God.

There is a powerful story in recorded in Judges 10-11. Jephthah is used by God as a judge and shows us how God works through imperfect people and how His grace can redeem us.

In episode 40 of TheoDisc, Kenny chats with Dr Tamara Knudson about oaths and vows in the Old Testament (Hebrew Bible), particularly in the stories of key women figures like Ruth, Hannah and Abigail. Tamara helps us understand the difference between an oath and a vow and how they hold profound and transformative potential as we recognise them in the Scriptural story.

Jepthah, The Outlaw KingSeries: The Gospel According to Judges Preacher: Cory BrockSunday EveningDate: 26th May 2024Passage: Judges 11:1-11

Not much is said of the men that come after Jepthah and before Samson, and though not much is said, perhaps it would be wise for me to take a moment, a brief respite between the long story of Jepthah and even longer record of Samson to reflect upon the grace of God that is seen in the wealth and abundance that both Ibzan and Abdon possess, how we are to think of that wealth, and where it comes from in terms of God's blessing and how we might keep it as those who are not the author's or originators of it but instead those who receive in accordance with God's design. We must never give up the fight, we must take it to the enemies of the Gospel, we must fight wherever we must, against the idols in our hearts, against the wickedness all around, against anything and everything that seeks to keep us from the call to faithfulness in building a kingdom that will last forever.

In this episode, we dive into the complex narrative of Judges 11 and 12, exploring the story of Jephthah, a figure whose leadership in Israel parallels previous discussions on kingship and authority, yet introduces new dimensions to these themes. Similar to Abimelech, Jephthah rises to a position of prominence, not through divine appointment as a king but as a leader or "head" of Israel during a time of crisis. This episode aims to dissect the implications of his leadership, the consequences for Israel, and draw a poignant contrast with the leadership of Jesus as depicted in John 6. Jephthah's story is a fascinating study of leadership born out of necessity. The Israelites, facing the threat of the Ammonites, turn to Jephthah, a mighty warrior with a complex background, to lead them. Despite not being anointed as a king, Jephthah's role as "head" of Israel places him in a position akin to kingship. However, his leadership, marked by a tragic vow leading to personal loss and culminating in internal conflict, highlights the premature nature of his rule and its alignment with Israel's recurring theme of flawed leadership. The narrative of Jephthah is particularly interesting when viewed through the lens of the theme of "headship" that runs throughout these biblical texts. His installation as the leader echoes the desire for a human solution to divine problems, a theme we previously encountered in the story of Abimelech. Yet again, this approach fails to address the underlying issues within Israel, as Jephthah's tenure ends with strife and division, underscoring the inability of human leadership to rectify Israel's deeper spiritual and communal fractures. Contrasting Jephthah's story with that of Jesus in John 6 offers a reflection on the nature of true leadership and the kingdom of God. Unlike Jephthah, who accepts leadership with its inherent flaws and tragic outcomes, Jesus consciously refuses the crowd's attempt to make him a king. This refusal underscores a fundamental difference in understanding and exercising authority; Jesus's kingship is not about earthly power or political dominion but about spiritual sovereignty and divine timing. Jesus's response to the prospect of kingship demonstrates a perfect alignment with God's will and an understanding of the nature of his mission, which contrasts sharply with the premature and problematic leadership seen in Jephthah's story. Through these contrasting narratives, the episode invites listeners to ponder the qualities of true leadership and the kingdom that Jesus came to establish, highlighting the limitations of human efforts to solve spiritual problems and the need for divine guidance and timing in leadership.

Luke 22:39-46[Jesus] came out and went, as was his custom, to the Mount of Olives; and the disciples followed him. When he reached the place, he said to them, “Pray that you may not come into the time of trial.” Then he withdrew from them about a stone's throw, knelt down, and prayed, “Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me; yet, not my will but yours be done.” Then an angel from heaven appeared to him and gave him strength. In his anguish he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down on the ground. When he got up from prayer, he came to the disciples and found them sleeping because of grief, and he said to them, “Why are you sleeping? Get up and pray that you may not come into the time of trial.” How many of you have had the good fortune of visiting Disney World or Disneyland? Whatever the case, Disney is the most magical place on earth, right? – especially if you're a child, but even for some of you grown-ups, too. I remember being skeptical and cynical and sort of a Scrooge about Disney the first time we took the boys when they were little, because I was doing the math… I was counting the cost… I was lamenting how much more or better or different we could be doing with all of that money, besides giving it to The Mouse. (And we have friends who work there, so we weren't even paying for all of the things!)But, we got there and I drank the Kool-Aid real quick. I bought it all hook-line-and-sinker, because the boys were excited and in awe and enamored by the rides and the fireworks, by Buzz and Woody, by Goofy and Mickey, and all the rest, coming to life, right before their very eyes. At one point, after dropping $27 dollars (or something similarly ridiculous) on a Buzz Light Year action figure/drink cup, probably with no more than 10 ounces of lemonade inside, I declared, “Walt Disney can have all of my money.” The boys were just having that much fun.Well, Disney works really hard at making their parks “the most magical places on earth.” Among so many ingeniously “imagineered” things, did you know that Disney has paint colors they've named “Go Away Green,” and “Bye Bye Blue?” They're the colors Disney uses to neutralize and “disappear” the unappealing, unattractive – but necessary – parts of any public space, like garbage cans, mechanical boxes, fences and partitions … even the utilitarian buildings you might see from the monorails and Skyliner gondola ride are hidden in plain sight with these cleverly camouflaged paint colors. And all of that is great, for fairy tales and child's play and a week's vacation in Never Neverland. But tonight – Ash Wednesday – is about precisely the opposite. It's about doing anything and everything BUT “disappearing” the unappealing, unattractive, ugly parts of our lives as people on the planet. Tonight is about laying them bear – the shame, the death, and the sin of it all. It's about calling it out, owning it, rubbing it into our foreheads for ourselves and others to see, and trusting that God will do God's thing with this dust and these ashes and the brokenness they represent – that God will forgive it, redeem it, wipe it off, wash it away, transform it into something other than the mere smudge and smut that stains us all.And I'd like to take this all a bit further – dig a bit deeper, maybe – this time around for our Lenten walk in the weeks ahead. If you read my newsletter article for February, you know I tried to get you all thinking about this plan long before tonight.Over the course of the last several months, I've been particularly moved by Anderson Cooper's All There Is podcast. He started it after the death of his mother, Gloria Vanderbilt, a couple of years ago, when he began to take on the monumental, emotionally taxing, spiritually draining task of going through her things – and reliving his life and hers and theirs together – as the last living adult in his immediate family.For those of you who don't know, Anderson Cooper's father died when Anderson was just ten years old, and his older brother, Carter, died by suicide when he was 23, and Anderson was 21. Carter jumped from the 14th floor of their New York apartment while their mother watched.So, left with all of that history, tragedy, and sadness, Anderson was left to digest and deal with the grief he soon realized he'd never been taught or trained or equipped to do well. And he began to record his reflections about it all and to share conversations with others who'd traveled the road of grief and sorrow, too, so that he could learn from their experience and wisdom – and share it with whoever else might want to listen.I've been so moved by those conversations and inspired by the simple truth that grief is – or will be – the common ground we all share as human beings, that it felt like a holy calling and a faithful responsibility to do together, and for each other, however much we're able: the good work of teaching and learning and praying about and equipping one another to grieve well, I mean – or at least to broach the topic and engage the notion that that's possible, and a worthwhile endeavor, to grieve well – during this coming season of Lent.And in many ways, it should be nothing new. Like I've already said, it's so much a part of what brings us together on Ash Wednesday. And I think there's something about the common ground of grief that makes this service and our Good Friday worship every year, too, so compelling for so many of us. (More of us typically come together for those two worship experiences than all the Wednesdays in between. But I'm hoping to change that this time around.)Because it seems to me that – as hard as it can be – something about it all draws us to the ritual of and to the reflection on the grief that gathers us. So I'd like to do more of that, more deliberately in the weeks ahead. And while we don't always know or acknowledge or have language for it, our penchant for this is a great part of the human experience – and it would and should and could be, for us, a deep, meaningful, exercise of faith as children of God.In scripture, we read about Job, in the throes of relentless grief, repenting in dust and ashes. We know that, in Old Testament days, prophets and priests, kings and commoners, put on sackcloth and covered their heads with earth and dirt and dust and ashes, too. In the book of Judges, we read about the women of Israel who made an annual, public display of their grief over the murder of Jepthah's daughter – one of their own – so that the nation would never forget it. In Jeremiah, we read about the wailing of Rachel being heard in Ramah for God's children who were lost and banished into exile. And, of course we know of Jesus, weeping over Jerusalem, mourning the loss of his friend Lazarus, shedding tears as thick as blood in the Garden of Gethsemane, and crying from the cross, “My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?” My point is, this is God's desire for us, believe it or not – to acknowledge, wrestle with, and experience the grief that finds us in this life. There's no such thing as – or at least not enough – “Go Away Green,” or “Bye Bye Blue” – or “Go Away Grief” or “Bye Bye Blues” as the case may be – when it comes to the sorrows of this world. It's hard and feels unholy and it can be unfair too much of the time. And our inclination can be to cover over it and pray it away and paint it into oblivion if we could – or sleep, and sleep-walk our way through it like the disciples in tonight's Gospel.But tonight … the ashes on our heads … these Lenten days that lie ahead … the cross of Christ that waits for us down the road … all of it is an invitation to see that grief and sorrow are part of life in the world, that no one escapes it, that none of us is immune from it, that not even the God we know in Jesus could shake it at every turn.And that's what this obnoxious wall is all about. Each week we'll bring something forward to this shrine of grief and sorrow. We will grieve those we've loved and lost on this side of Heaven. We will grieve the loss of and damage to creation. We will grieve our regrets, our missed opportunities, the generational sorrows of our people, God's children, the Church, and more. I suspect it will be hard and holy. I imagine it will beautiful and brutal, at times. And I pray it will be instructive and healing and unburdening and life-giving and hopeful, in the end, too.There's a poet named Denise Levertov who wrote this about grief: To speak of sorrow works upon it moves it from its crouched place barring the way to and from the soul's hall.That's what I hope we'll do with our grief in the days ahead. Speak of it, at the very least, so that it doesn't block our connection to God's greatest desire for us. Not deny or hide or run from it. Not keep quiet about the challenge it can be to our faith. Not feel bad or guilty for wishing it wasn't ours to bear.And I hope we'll trust what God can do with it … what God can do with us … if we will let our grief and sorrow be; if we feel it; if we learn to live with these ashes for more than just an evening, perhaps; more than just a season, even; as more than just a symbol, and as something God is always undoing, always making new, always redeeming, always raising from the dead … to new life … with love and full of hope, in Jesus' name.Amen

Mark teaches on the importance of faith and trust. He also expounds upon how Jepthah and Ahab are used to defeat enemies even if they and their people are not walking righteously. In addition he speaks on evil speech and the dream that he had on this Shabbat morning.

There are many types of pain in life but perhaps nothing like the pain of rejection. Rejection spreads the lie that you don't matter, that you're not important. Sadly, some people believe that lie.Today we meet Jephthah, a man who was rejected but went on to do great things. There is a secret to handling rejection and you will learn that secret here in this message.Don't settle for the lies of rejection, learn to go on to something greater by watching Jepthah.

We are in a series from the book of Judges entitled Broken Heroes. And we are learning that God often uses less-than-perfect people to accomplish his plan and purpose.

In this episode, we deconstruct the story of Jepthah and his daughter. This is a bible story that was used to great effect during Sadie's fundamentalist upbringing as a tool to control people and as a tool to demand obedience. The details of the story, however, vary quite dramatically from the way Sadie remembers it being told when she was growing up. By looking at different interpretations, we are able to uncover a serious hypocrisy that exists within fundamentalist teaching.TW: In general we talk about a lot of potentially triggering topics on this show, including but not limited to suicide and mental health, racism, misogyny, PTSD and PTSD symptoms, child abuse, mental, physical, and sexual abuse, and spiritual abuse including guilt, shame, and fear. In most episodes we'll mention at least a few of these topics, but we try very hard to avoid graphic detail unless it's relevant to the story we're telling, and we do our best to give the audience a heads-up before going into detail on any of these topics.An extended, uncensored, and ad-free version of this podcast episode is available to subscribers at Patreon.com/LeavingEdenPodcastWE HAVE NEW MERCH AVAILABLE, AND A NEW MERCH SHOP, at https://leavingedenpodcast.threadless.comStream the Leaving Eden Podcast theme song, Rolling River of Time on Spotify! https://open.spotify.com/artist/6lB7RwSQ9X5gnt1BDNugyS?si=jVhmqFfYRSiruRxekdLgKA.Join our Facebook Discussion group! https://www.facebook.com/groups/edenexodusJoin our subreddit!

In our third and final week in the book of Judges, we wrestle with one of the most difficult stories in the Old Testament, the story of Jepthah. What happens when what we believe doesn't actually correspond with God's Word? A tragic tail that points to both God's justice and His mercy.

In our third and final week in the book of Judges, we wrestle with one of the most difficult stories in the Old Testament, the story of Jepthah. What happens when what we believe doesn't actually correspond with God's Word? A tragic tail that points to both God's justice and His mercy.

Even though many Christians know the benefit of rest, we struggle to honour the command. In this sermon, Pastor Nana Kofi Acquah draws from the life of Jepthah, and challenges us to allow God to lead us to rest in Him. May this sermon bless you.

The book of Judges is full of unusual stories, including the account of Jephthah and his daughter. In this new episode, Levi Hazen gives five insights on the outcome of Jephthah's vow.

Pastor Rusty MiltonJudges 12:1-7 ESV“Angry Ephraim”You must not let anger overshadow the wonderful works of God's salvation. If we allow anger to go unchecked in our hearts, it will foster the desire for self-glory and dull our understanding of grace. We see this in Judges 12:1-7, when Ephraim confronts Jephthah for what they perceived to be their exclusion from his campaign against the nation's oppressors. But, by their allegations, one can surmise that their true frustration lay with the loss of glory they believed they suffered by not going into battle. Jepthah defends himself by simply laying out the truth: Ephraim was called to join the troops, but chose to ignore the muster to arms. Ephraim's response is sophomoric and filled with insults. How should we apply this to our lives? Brothers and sisters in Christ should never engage in slander and denigration. Yet, the righteous will face unbiblical accusations; there are always seasons of insults and accusations. Our response? Indignation--righteous anger--is appropriate, but never self-centered anger. Indignation leads to a focus on grace and healing, not vainglorious attacks.Judges 12English Standard VersionJephthah's Conflict with Ephraim12 The men of Ephraim were called to arms, and they crossed to Zaphon and said to Jephthah, “Why did you cross over to fight against the Ammonites and did not call us to go with you? We will burn your house over you with fire.” 2 And Jephthah said to them, “I and my people had a great dispute with the Ammonites, and when I called you, you did not save me from their hand. 3 And when I saw that you would not save me, I took my life in my hand and crossed over against the Ammonites, and the Lord gave them into my hand. Why then have you come up to me this day to fight against me?” 4 Then Jephthah gathered all the men of Gilead and fought with Ephraim. And the men of Gilead struck Ephraim, because they said, “You are fugitives of Ephraim, you Gileadites, in the midst of Ephraim and Manasseh.” 5 And the Gileadites captured the fords of the Jordan against the Ephraimites. And when any of the fugitives of Ephraim said, “Let me go over,” the men of Gilead said to him, “Are you an Ephraimite?” When he said, “No,” 6 they said to him, “Then say Shibboleth,” and he said, “Sibboleth,” for he could not pronounce it right. Then they seized him and slaughtered him at the fords of the Jordan. At that time 42,000 of the Ephraimites fell.7 Jephthah judged Israel six years. Then Jephthah the Gileadite died and was buried in his city in Gilead.

This week, Pastor Steve talks about the story of Jepthah and how God is in all the details and promises.

Pastor Steve Hull 03.27.2022 In the story of Jepthah, we see Israel and their savior add cultic religion as a part of their worship to the Lord.

Judges 11 poses some difficult possible interpretations. How should we put it together and what does it mean for us? Music created by Aidan Beckett. Cameron@jonesvillebaptist.com

Jepthat was an illegitimate son who was banished from his family.  He became a leader of Israel and made an innocent vow that blew up in his face.  

In this episode, Jayson and Bryan dive into the world of Jepthah and what Jesus saw when He read of him. A deliverer from the book of Judges that has taken a lot of criticism for an unfortunate conflict that came about due to the integrity to his word. He was a man of valor, but born of a prostitute, kicked out of his family and inheritance. The result left him to roam the land with his band of worthless men. What we are sure of is that he was righteous and a man of integrity. In this discussion we discover is something more powerful, that our God and Father, will not break his word or promise even to His own hurt. The picture of Jepthah also reveals the what happens to a people that ignore integrity and pursue their own interests without regard to their promises. outboundlife.org facebook.com/outboundlife twitter.com/myoutboundlife parler.com/outboundlife

What does it take to STAND? What does it take to RUN? Willingness, resolve, endurance, faith, trust. Faith: The substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Sarah, Moses Rahab, Gideon, Barak Samson, Jepthah . . . these all believed in something that they couldn't see. Out of weakness they were made strong! Don't look for a “problem-free” life! Flatline means dead . . . James 1:2 Count it all joy when you fall into various trials . . . testing . . . It's easier to stand when you have a wall of people praying for you, a wall of armor! Find some people to be your wall! Don't stand alone!
