Learn the Word: Judges

Teaching the book of Judges last week Pastor Mark Lowrie joined us did an incredible job.  Pastor Lowrie was born in Ontario but orphaned at age ten.  He then lived with relatives in Tennessee.  He was saved at 13 and later attended Tennessee Temple.  After seminary in London, he pastored several churches in Ontario.  He is married to his sweetheart Margaret for over thirty one years.  They have three married children and are expecting their first two grandchildren in the spring!  He currently is the pastor of South End Fellowship Baptist in Owen Sound, Ontario.

This week we really learned how nothing is new under the sun, people back in the time of Judges did what was right in their own eyes, and we do as well!  Its up to us to be the difference in this crooked and depraved generation!

There is a constant battle between the flesh and the spirit, we learned that the flesh screams persuasively at us, while the Holy Spirit whispers gently to our souls.  We can't break the hold of the flesh on our own, we need the power of God to do so!
