Aim: To be Christ's faith-filled servants—ready to be used by Him in any way that He chooses.
Doctrine: The defeat of Sisera is a good model of how the Lord works. He employs the least likely people to achieve His noble ends.
Exegesis: The role of women in the defeat of Sisera: Deborah initiates his doom (vv. 11-14), and Jael orchestrates (vv. 15-20) and executes (vv. 21-24) his doom.
Further application: What the church learns from the defeat of Sisera: that God's enemies cannot stand, even before Christ's humblest servants.
Key verse: v. 21 ''Then Jael, Heber's wife, took a tent peg and took a hammer in her hand, and went softly to him and drove the peg into his temple, and it went down into the ground; for he was fast asleep and weary. So he died.''
