A Father's Vow

A Father's Vow

Passage: Judges 11:29-39

Speaker: The Rev. Pam Dubov

Series: Standalone Messages

The tragic story of Jephthah and his daughter has a lot to teach us about our prayers and our pride. It also reminds us about the importance of properly understanding God’s character, and our need to teach the truth about God to younger generations. Jephthah and his young daughter might break our hearts, but they also serve as a warning to remember that our actions, bargains, vows, and promises are not the sources of our righteousness before God. Rather, God clothes us with righteousness as an act of incredible mercy, grace and love.
