Tuesday, August 31, 2021

Passage: Judges 3:7-9
Series: Judges (2021)
Duration: 1 hr 7 mins 51 secs

What role did the Holy Spirit play in the lives of the prophets and leaders of Israel in the Old Testament? Listen to this lesson to understand that these roles are not the same as in our lives as Church Age believers. See examples of the Holy Spirit’s work in various categories including five who are noted as only having one time when they were empowered by the Holy Spirit. Find out the way the prophets and leaders were recipients of the Spirit of God. A lesson to apply to our lives is to always keep in mind that when we face difficult situations, we need to trust in God and pray to Him for deliverance.

During this lesson Dr. Dean referenced the upcoming Council on Dispensational Hermeneutics meeting on September 15–16. 2021. Click here to get more information. We will not be having Bible class on September 16 as Dr. Dean will be attending this conference.

Do the Scriptures contain all we need to know to find God’s will for our lives? Listen to this message to hear examples of Old and New Testament believers who were guided in their decisions. See how Balaam and his talking donkey were shown God’s will. Hear about New Testament decision making which came from the wisdom found in the Word of God. On a personal level in making a decision, always consider how it will impact your spiritual life.
