Ehud (3 of 11)
Series: Unlikely Heroes of the Bible
Jim Perdue
Judges 3:12-30
Intro/Attention
Tonight, we continue our series through the book of Judges looking at some unlikely heroes in this book. Last time, we saw Othniel, an unlikely hero who freed the people of Israel from oppression. But sadly, after Othniel's death, the Bible tells us that the people of Israel found themselves in captivity again. It was time for another unlikely hero to emerge and lead the people back to God and against the enemy.

This soldier's name is Ehud. Ehud was the man God chose to use in His service and in His timing to win the victory for His people. READ TEXT

In one episode, Rowe served as a sewer inspector in San Francisco. If he found cracks in the sewer, they needed to be repaired, while the sewer was operational. I think you understand what I'm saying here. Another job was a snake wrangler. Rowe says, ''You catch the water snake, and you make it vomit. And then you look under a microscope at the vomit to make sure it is of a healthy consistency.'' Doesn't that sound lovely? Then, there's the shark suit tester. ''A shark suit is a relatively new invention that borrows from the old-time suit of armor. It's made with a higher-grade steel and a mu ...
