Reading Judges 9:1-21 (NLT) ~ Scripture reading followed by discussion. Abimelech paid the thugs who helped him murder his brothers from the temple of Baal-Berith. Gideon’s family dynamic. Abimelech’s pride made him feel he was the one deserving to have the power. Abimelech wanting the title and position of authority. Your gifting and calling is of more importance than title and position. The people are so desperate to have someone lead them, they embrace someone who doesn’t produce good fruit. They wanted a ruler they could control and a god they could build out of wood. Jotham’s curse, the perfect picture of what the people had done.
