Listen "Obey Above All by Minister Bree Robinson on Sunday, Oct. 19, 2025"
Episode Synopsis
Minister Bree Robinson takes a deep dive into the Old Testament book of Judges to analyze the life of Jephthah and the children of Israel’s cyclical nature of sin, rebellion, and deliverance. In this powerful message, she challenges listeners to move beyond a transactional relationship with God—the kind that says, "If you do this for me, I will do that for you."
Discover the profound truth of God’s love under the New Covenant and find freedom from the guilt, resentment, and regret that come from dwelling in the "ifs" of life.
Key Teaching Points:
-- You Cannot Serve Two Masters: The message begins by exploring the Israelites' confession of forsaking God and serving Baal (Judges 10:10). This is quickly tied to the modern danger of serving money, allowing monetary value to dictate our decisions and obedience. -- The Reminder of Deliverance: God's response to their sin—"Did not I deliver you?"—is a call to remember His faithfulness in bringing us out of personal bondage, such as depression and anger, reminding us to give Him glory for where He's brought us from. -- Forgiving the "Going Back": Minister Robinson encourages self-forgiveness and accepting God's forgiveness, acknowledging that like the Israelites, we often return to the very things He delivered us from, but His love prevails under the new covenant. -- The Danger of Bargaining: Jephthah's fateful vow—making a deal with God for victory—serves as a stark warning against trying to obligate or manipulate the Almighty. The lesson: God is worthy of all praise and obedience before and without a promised return. -- Choose Love Over Gloating: When Jephthah’s brethren came back needing his help, his initial reaction was to gloat and remind them of their past wrong. The minister challenges us to emulate Christ's love by pulling closer and elevating those who once did us wrong. -- The Power of Pure Obedience: Jephthah’s daughter demonstrates an ultimate form of honor and pure obedience by accepting her father’s vow, teaching us to embrace the high calling God has placed on our lives and to "stay pure" to our divine purpose.
