Women have a role to play and it's not on the sideline.\nJudges 4:1-3\n\nLook at the sequence of things:\nThey were living against God\nThey wanted God to help them\nLook at the wording of things:\nThey were doing \"what was evil\" in God’s eyes\nThey \"cry out\" to God for help\nLook at the state of things:\nThey believe living however they want is freedom\nThey are in a state of corruption, brokenness, and chaos\nDetaching from God doesn’t lead to our destiny, it leads to destruction\n\nJudges 4:4-7\n\nDeborah was a divinely gifted woman\nDeborah was a declarer of truth\nDeborah was devoted to God\n\nJudges 4:8-10\n\nBarack’s tragically of misplaced hope\n\n“Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.” - Psalm 20:7\n\nIn those days there was no king in Israel. Everyone did what was right in his own eyes. - Judges 21:25\n\nAnd the LORD said to Samuel, “Listen to the voice of the people in all that they say to you. For it is not you they have rejected, but they have rejected Me as their king.” - 1 Samuel 8:7\n\nWe're left on a cliff hanger…\n…until the cross\n\nWEBSITE: https://www.hillcrestbc.com\n📸 INSTAGRAM: (hillcrest_bc)\n📘 FACEBOOK: (hbcministries)","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/kCq9WZJMRIiH48ZboOhG17AguWvmvtj3D6YYbz13V6k/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9jYmVl/ZTMzMGNhZDM1NDc4/Njc2NWI4MjkwMmQ5/MjExMC5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
