2. A Few Courageous Men
Judges 6:1-7:21

3. Introduction:
Takot ang mga Hudyo dahil sa
sunod-sunod na pagsalakay

4. Judges 6:1- 10
The Israelites did evil in the eyes of
the LORD, and for seven years he gave
them into the hands of the
Midianites. 2
Because the power of Midian
was so oppressive, the Israelites prepared
shelters for themselves in mountain clefts,
caves and strongholds. 3
Whenever the
Israelites planted their crops, the
Midianites, Amalekites and other eastern
peoples invaded the country.

5. 4
They camped on the land and ruined the
crops all the way to Gaza and did not spare
a living thing for Israel, neither sheep nor
cattle nor donkeys. 5
They came up with
their livestock and their tents like swarms of
locusts. It was impossible to count them or
their camels; they invaded the land to
ravage it. 6
Midian so impoverished the
Israelites that they cried out to
the LORD for help.
7
When the Israelites cried out to
the LORD because of Midian,

6. 8
he sent them a prophet, who said, “This is
what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: I
brought you up out of Egypt, out of the land
of slavery. 9
I rescued you from the hand of
the Egyptians. And I delivered you from the
hand of all your oppressors; I drove them
out before you and gave you their land. 10
I
said to you, ‘I am the LORD your God; do
not worship the gods of the Amorites, in
whose land you live.’ But you have not
listened to me.”

7. Mapapansin natin ang cycle ng:
• Paglapastangan (Rebellion) sa Dios
• Pagpaparusa (Retribution) ng Dios
• Paghingi ng Tawad (Repentance) sa Dios
• Pagsasaayos (Restoration) ng Dios

siya nag-step-up bilang
lalaki

Nang makita niya ng

pagkilos ng Dios

18. Conclusion:
Sino ka man at anuman ang
pinanggalingan mo; di ka man kilala at
kulang sa karanasan; kahit gaano kaliit
ang iyong pananampalataya magtiwala
ka lamang at maaari ka pa rin gamitin
ng Diyos tungo sa tagumpay.

19. Step-up
brothers in
Christ!
