The pattern of the Period of the Judges Chap 2:14-23, 3:1-4

Recently I came across the book “Then Sings My Soul” which tell the story behind Christian songs. Turning to the song “Jesus Loves Me”,because I was doing a project for my Sunday School class, questions arose within me.
Two sisters, Anna and Susan Warner who after the Panic of 1837 found themselves go from riches to rags found they needed to do something to bring in money to live on. They both found they were gifted at writing resulting in 106 publications which they authored together and/or separately. Being obedient to God and not giving up or in other words standing on The Rock (Jesus) they persisted in the storm of their lives.
One of the novels written jointly was entitled “Say and Seal”. In the novel a little boy named Johnny Fox was dying and his Sunday School teacher comforts him by rocking him and making up a little song entitled “Jesus Loves Me”.
The sisters who went on to be in heaven never knew that the little song “Jesus Loves Me” was set to a children musical score and would be the best children’s hymn on earth. These are my questions:
What is the one thing we will do that will affect generations to come for Jesus?
Do we see stories in the Bible of others who have affected the earth for Jesus by one thing they have done?
Who on earth has done one thing other than the sisters above to affect the earth for Jesus?
My heart warms when I read this story and sing the words from my heart. Have you had experiences from this song that changed your way of thinking, loving and/or living?

In an earlier post a few months ago we posted MG’s piano. MG was a gifted piano player and when her earth time came to an end God had a protege ready to pick up and play in the same gifted way she played for many years. Jerry has her piano now and shared his success with us which helps keep her memory alive. Thank you Jerry. And, we are so proud of you! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Happy Birthday Debi Chaves!
I’m sharing my outline on Judges by Pastor Reggie. Sorry about my notes. Hope it helps you stay focused as we continue our studies. Tammy
Teaching Title-“Condemned by The Angel of the Lord.”
Grab a cup of coffee, pen and pad and enjoy this in-depth study on the Book of Judges. Reggie will challenge you in various ways from testing your knowledge of many of God’s greats and enemies while challenging our life on obedience.
Teacher Reggie claims to be age 95! 😉 Sure, 🤦♂️that’s just giving us a break for a coffee refill. Laugh, Stand and Applaud! 😂🚶🏼♂️👏🏻
My suggestion for us as we listen to these lessons individually and in our small group studies. a) pray for endurance to study. b) Ask the Holy Spirit to illuminate truth, understanding and wisdom for knowledge and application. c) pray for our teacher, Pastor Reggie as he faithfully studies and bravely delivers this timely message to all that will listen. d) And, finally pray for seekers to find their way to church and to these online lessons now and for time to come.
Keep in mind as you start this lesson, you will be asked; “Why have you done this?”
Feel free to join us here for comments and questions. If you desire more info about your faith contact Pastor Reggie at 252-482-3788
