The Danger of Getting Ahead Of The Lord. (Judges 20: 1-48)

Send us Fan Mail

Welcome:

This episode looks at how Israel, in the aftermath of a horrifying crime, rushes to act — with justice on their side but without first waiting on God. Their initial victories turn tragic, resulting in staggering losses and a near-eradication of a tribe. The story reveals a critical truth: even when we do the right thing, we can get it terribly wrong if we get ahead of God.

Key Verse:

“Apart from Me, you can do nothing.” — John 15:5

Takeaway:
Justice without God becomes vengeance. Zeal without wisdom leads to ruin. Stay close to the Lord — and don’t just follow His Word… follow Him.
