What if the most powerful weapon against oppression isn't a sword, but a reminder of God's faithfulness? In Pastor Nick's compelling exploration of Judges 3, we meet Ehud, a left-handed warrior who encounters a pivotal moment at the stones of Gilgal. These weren't just any stones – they were monuments of God's miraculous deliverance of Israel through the Jordan River. Seeing these stones rekindled Ehud's courage to free Israel from 18 years of oppressive tribute to King Eglon of Moab. Pastor Nick masterfully connects this ancient story to our modern struggles, reminding us that while we often pay "tribute" to things that enslave us – whether addictions, false ideologies, or worldly systems – our true battle isn't against people but spiritual forces. Just as the stones of Gilgal reminded Israel of God's faithfulness, communion serves as our monument of Christ's ultimate victory. The urgent call rings clear: Will we continue paying tribute to what destroys us, or will we, like Ehud, find courage in remembering God's faithfulness and stand firm in Christ's freedom?
