Putting Blood Before Right and Wrong - April 27, 2024 DD

In today's reading from Judges 9, Pastor Sumrall teaches us, first, that doing the right thing must outweigh our loyalty to other people, including our family. Second, leadership positions must be about bearing fruit rather than domination and instilling fear.

Judges 9:1-3 NLT
One day Gideon’s son Abimelech went to Shechem to visit his uncles—his mother’s brothers. He said to them and to the rest of his mother’s family,  “Ask the leading citizens of Shechem whether they want to be ruled by all seventy of Gideon’s sons or by one man. And remember that I am your own flesh and blood!” So Abimelech’s uncles gave his message to all the citizens of Shechem on his behalf. And after listening to this proposal, the people of Shechem decided in favor of Abimelech because he was their relative.

Judges 9:14-15 NLT
“Then all the trees finally turned to the thornbush and said,
‘Come, you be our king!’ And the thornbush replied to the trees,
‘If you truly want to make me your king,
come and take shelter in my shade. If not, let fire come out from me
and devour the cedars of Lebanon.’”
