How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord of hosts! My soul longs, indeed it faints, for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh sing for joy to the living God...Happy are those who live in your house, ever singing your praise. Psalm 84:1-2, 4

Simply the Sermon for July 30, 2023: Deborah and Jael

Let’s take a journey today into one of the very oldest (and most memorable) passages in the Bible: the Song of Deborah with the story of Deborah and Jael to continue our “Heroes of the Bible” sermon series. What do we do with these seemingly weird and violent stories in the Old Testament? Intern Monica shows us that these ancient texts still tell us a lot about God and a little about ourselves, too. Today’s reading is Judges 4-5.
