Calvary Chapel Sydney

Synopsis. After Jephthah defeated the Ammonites, men of Ephraim came and threatened to burn his house down on him because they felt slighted. The war of words between the Ephraimites, Jephthah and the men of Gilead resulted in great bloodshed between brethren that is a grave warning to Christians of the destructive power of the tongue. Because Jesus is our peace, we can live and speak peaceably even when others are for war.
