Judges 13-15
18And the Angel of the Lord said to him, Why do you ask my name, seeing it is wonderful?
God identifies Himself as the God of wonders. We can expect Him to act in accordance with His identity as we identify with Him!
wonderful
23But his [sensible] wife said to him, If the Lord were pleased to kill us, He would not have received a burnt offering and a cereal offering from our hands, nor have shown us all these things or now have announced such things as these.
C'mon, that is Holy Spirit logic!! Why would He give me all these promises and not expect me to see them fulfilled in my life?
6Then the Philistines said, Who has done this? And they were told, Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because he [the Timnite] has taken his [Samson's] wife and has given her to his companion. And the Philistines came up and burned her and her father with fire.
She was intimidated and sinned, but the very thing she feared came upon her anyway.
19And God split open the hollow place that was at Lehi, and water came out of it. And when he drank, his spirit returned and he revived. Therefore the name of it was called En-hakkore [the spring of him who prayed], which is at Lehi to this day.
Call out for springs men of prayer!!

Luke 23
47Now the centurion, having seen what had taken place, [q]recognized God and thanked and praised Him, and said, Indeed, without question, this Man was upright (just and innocent)!
Salvation came to the thief and the centurion at the cross of Christ.

Judges 10-12
3 He was followed by Jair of Gilead, who led Israel twenty-two years. 4 He had thirty sons, who rode thirty donkeys. They controlled thirty towns in Gilead, which to this day are called Havvoth Jair. [b] 5 When Jair died, he was buried in Kamon.
There's something about every son knowing he has his own donkey and his own town and being content with his own bit that makes everything stable and secure.

Judges 7-9
10 But if you are afraid to go down, go down to the camp with Purah your servant, 11 and you shall hear what they say; and afterward your hands shall be strengthened to go down against the camp.” Then he went down with Purah his servant to the outpost of the armed men who were in the camp.
I love God: " if you are afraid to go down, go down". As you step out, you get the confirmation; before that its all trust.
22 Then the men of Israel said to Gideon, “Rule over us, both you and your son, and your grandson also; for you have delivered us from the hand of Midian.”
23 But Gideon said to them, “I will not rule over you, nor shall my son rule over you; the LORD shall rule over you.” 24 Then Gideon said to them, “I would like to make a request of you, that each of you would give me the earrings from his plunder.” For they had golden earrings, because they were Ishmaelites.
25 So they answered, “We will gladly give them.” And they spread out a garment, and each man threw into it the earrings from his plunder. 26 Now the weight of the gold earrings that he requested was one thousand seven hundred shekels of gold, besides the crescent ornaments, pendants, and purple robes which were on the kings of Midian, and besides the chains that were around their camels’ necks. 27 Then Gideon made it into an ephod and set it up in his city, Ophrah. And all Israel played the harlot with it there. It became a snare to Gideon and to his house.
Gideon did well to give God the honour, but in making this ephod made himself a focus of devotion to God

Judges 1-6
1 Now these are the nations which the LORD left, that He might test Israel by them, that is, all who had not known any of the wars in Canaan 2 (this was only so that the generations of the children of Israel might be taught to know war, at least those who had not formerly known it)
Challenges are there so we can learn to fight.

Joshua 9-13
12Then Joshua spoke to the Lord on the day when the Lord gave the Amorites over to the Israelites, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, be silent and stand still at Gibeon, and you, moon, in the Valley of Ajalon!
Joshua spoke to the Lord and then commanded the Universe. Proclamation proceeds from the Lord.
24When they brought out those kings to Joshua, [he] called for all the Israelites and told the commanders of the men of war who went with him, Come, put your feet on the necks of these kings. And they came and put their feet on the [kings'] necks.
What "kings" will have my foot on their necks?

Joshua 6-8
1 Now the LORD said to Joshua: “Do not be afraid, nor be dismayed; take all the people of war with you, and arise, go up to Ai. See, I have given into your hand the king of Ai, his people, his city, and his land. 2 And you shall do to Ai and its king as you did to Jericho and its king. Only its spoil and its cattle you shall take as booty for yourselves. Lay an ambush for the city behind it.”
6 For they will come out after us till we have drawn them from the city, for they will say, ‘They are fleeing before us as at the first.’ Therefore we will flee before them. 7 Then you shall rise from the ambush and seize the city, for the LORD your God will deliver it into your hand.
I love how the Lord redeems Israel's reputation, so that it makes their initial retreat (when they were defeated at Ai, ch 7) seem like a deliberate strategy to fool the enemy. God makes our all failures His perfect success.

Joshua 2-5
4 Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure. Do not come near it, that you may know the way by which you must go, for you have not passed this way before.
When following the Lord, what does it mean to give Him space? Surely it means waiting for direction in advance of our journey at the start of the day.

Deuteronomy 32-34
30 How could one chase a thousand,
And two put ten thousand to flight,
Unless their Rock had sold them,
And the LORD had surrendered them?
God has sold the nations into our hands for salvation! Let us serve them freely!
51 because you trespassed against Me among the children of Israel at the waters of Meribah Kadesh, in the Wilderness of Zin, because you did not hallow Me in the midst of the children of Israel.

Deuteronomy 29-31
5 Then the LORD your God will bring you to the land which your fathers possessed, and you shall possess it. He will prosper you and multiply you more than your fathers. 6 And the LORD your God will circumcise your heart and the heart of your descendants, to love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul, that you may live.
Increase begets increased capacity fo increase.
23 Then He inaugurated Joshua the son of Nun, and said, “Be strong and of good courage; for you shall bring the children of Israel into the land of which I swore to them, and I will be with you.”
Courage comes from keeping His company.

Always give to the poor.
7 The LORD will grant that the enemies who rise up against you will be defeated before you. They will come at you from one direction but flee from you in seven.
There will be enemies until the end; but there will be many many victories.
9 The LORD will establish you as his holy people, as he promised you on oath, if you keep the commands of the LORD your God and walk in his ways.

5 And the apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.”
6 So the Lord said, “If you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you. 7 And which of you, having a servant plowing or tending sheep, will say to him when he has come in from the field, ‘Come at once and sit down to eat’? 8 But will he not rather say to him, ‘Prepare something for my supper, and gird yourself and serve me till I have eaten and drunk, and afterward you will eat and drink’? 9 Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I think not.[c] 10 So likewise you, when you have done all those things which you are commanded, say, ‘We are unprofitable servants. We have done what was our duty to do.’”

14Now the Pharisees, who were covetous and lovers of money, heard all these things [taken together], and they began to sneer at and ridicule and scoff at Him.
One master. Not ambition, not wealth, not fame, not power. One beautiful, loving, friend and Saviour. Jesus. He is worth all the rest.

Luke 4v1-30
v1-15
In a roundabout way, the devil now gives his testimony. Jesus faces the devil, and proves that God's voice has as much authority today as it did at creation. For all his power, the devil cannot silence God's words. Notice the teamwork here - the Son, led by the Spirit, speaks the words of the Father.
16-30
Jesus testifies of himself through the words of Isaiah. What an amazing passage - '...good news to the poor...liberty to the captives...sight to the blind...freedom to the oppressed...' And Jesus says 'This is about me!' This is the good news! Yet notice the response of the religious - they 'were filled with wrath'. The message of the gospel should have greatest positive impact upon the marginalised in society - is this reflected in our churches?

Luke 3
Another two testimonies are added which shed light on the identity of Jesus - before his miracles prove he is God in the flesh.
Firstly, John the Baptist, who tells us Jesus is 'the salvation of God'. He challenges the crowds about their repentance, and notice his understanding of the true descendents of Abraham - 'God is able from these stones to raise up children for Abraham'. In other words, true citizenship of God's kingdom was not hereditary - it was obtained by grace through faith with repentance.
Notice also the strong language about Jesus in verse 17. He will gather the wheat, and burn the chaff.
The second testimony about the identity of Jesus comes from God himself - 'You are my beloved son, with whom I am well pleased.' In one statement, we are told everything we need to know that Jesus could save us from our sins - he was without sin. He had been a perfectly obedient Son to his Father in heaven.
Finally, to add weight to the reality of Jesus in history, Luke finishes the chapter with a genealogy. He is saying 'Whatever else you think about Jesus, be sure of one thing - he is real!' When we start to confront the truth about Jesus, we are forced to consider our own response.

Luke 2
Having given us the testimonies of Zechariah and Mary, now we have those of the angels (v1-21) and Simeon (25-35) as well as Anna (36-38).
First, the angels appear to the shepherds, and tell them of a saviour. This is good news 'for all the people' (v10). Jesus will bring glory to God, and good will to all men (v14). The gospel is a message of salvation to every kind of person.
In offering turtle doves (v24), Luke reveals to us the Jesus has been born into a poor family (Lev. 12v8).
Simon and Anna tell us more about Jesus - he will bring revelation and redemption.
Verses 41-50 are tricky - I'm not sure what I would preach on this passage. However, one thing is noticeable - for all of Luke's investigations, this is the only incident in Jesus' childhood that stands out. Other than this, it appears Jesus was simply a good son.
When we add this to Luke chapter 3, we find a repeated message - there were people who knew Jesus was the Messiah before he could prove it.
