Left-Handed Lions Othniel, Ehud, & Shamgar | Pastor Courtney Hall

SCRIPTURE TEXT: Judges 3:7-31 In Judges 3 we meet three initial judges of Israel: a lionhearted warrior from the "Joshua Generation" (Othniel); a left-handed leader (Ehud); & a "leftover" judge in the last verse of the chapter who stills casts a long legacy in the Scriptures (Shamgar). From these three judges, Pastor Court formulates lessons on "the left hand of leadership," a Biblical concept that true authority, insight, & effectiveness come "'not by might nor by power but by My Spirit,' says the Lord" (Zech 4:6). In the Judges we frequently see God achieve His victories with "left-handed lions," people of faith whose idiosyncrasies reveal God’s perfecting strength (cf. 2 Cor 12:9).
