Judges | God’s Faithfulness to Unfaithful People (8:1-35 — The Dangers of Human Leadership, Pt.2)
Judges 8:1-35
God-given leadership, while it is a blessing, also becomes a test for both the leader and the people they lead.
“Leaders unaware of the spiritual war that is ministry begin to minister with kidnapped hearts, distorted vision, and misguided motivations.” — Paul Tripp
Pitfalls for Leaders:
- Difficulty: Frustration with people that leads to hardness
Numbers 20:1-12; Galatians 6:9
- Success: Forgetfulness of God that leads to vanity
2 Chronicles 26:15-16; 1 Corinthians 10:12
Every human leader is ultimately going to disappoint their people BUT that’s okay, if both are looking to Jesus.
Romans 4:20-22; Psalm 69:6
