Why Did Achsah ask for a field | Roger Lewis 2025

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=""] A @Christadelphians Video: In a chapter detailing Israel's failure to drive out the Canaanites, the story of Achsah stands out as an outstanding example of faith, initiative, and foresight. Why did she ask her father, Caleb, for a field? What can we learn from her bold request for both the upper and nether springs? This thought-provoking and expositional Bible talk delves into Judges chapter 1, uncovering the powerful lessons hidden within this often-overlooked narrative. We explore the cultural context of dowries, the inspiring faith of Caleb, and the insightful character of Achsah herself. This presentation reveals how her actions provide a powerful blueprint for our spiritual lives today, demonstrating what it means to be fully focused on our future inheritance in the Kingdom of God. Join us for this exceptional study that is both deeply scriptural and wonderfully practical. **Video Chapters / Timestamps** 00:00 - Introduction 00:12 - A Story of Repetition and Importance 01:00 - The Context of Failure in Judges 1 02:47 - Introducing Achsah and Asking Key Questions 05:09 - The Spirit of Humble Bible Inquiry 06:40 - Caleb's Faith and the Conquest of Hebron 09:39 - The Meaning of Debir and a Change of Destiny 11:28 - Caleb's Test for a Son-in-Law 13:34 - The Meaning of Achsah's Name and the Dowry (Mohar) 15:23 - Othniel: A Man of Faith, Ability, and Love 17:18 - Achsah's Urgent Request on Her Wedding Day 22:28 - Achsah's Direct Appeal to Caleb 25:47 - The Two-Scene Structure of the Narrative 27:00 - Achsah's Bold Action and Caleb's Response 29:02 - "Give Me a Blessing": The Request for Springs 31:54 - The Vital Importance of Water 32:41 - The Upper and Nether Springs 34:51 - Three Outstanding Qualities of Achsah 39:01 - The Historical Outcome for Achsah and Othniel 43:02 - The Divine Watermark: A Foreshadowing of Christ 46:06 - Caleb as a Type of the Father 46:44 - Othniel as a Type of Christ 47:37 - Achsah as a Type of the Bride 48:05 - Our Offering to the Bridegroom: The Song of Solomon 50:18 - Conclusion: Impart to Us Thy Wisdom [embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2KaNM-lJR4[/embedyt] **📖 Bible Verses Featured in This Presentation 📖** Judges 1:9-15 Joshua 15:13-19 Numbers 13:32 Joshua 14:6-12 Joshua 21:9-16 Proverbs 31:16 Ruth 4:11 1 Samuel 25:23 Isaiah 46:9-10 Acts 13:23 Song of Solomon 4:12-16 Exodus 25:22 Daniel 7:9 Psalm 55:19 We are a Christadelphian team, Brothers and sisters in Christ, and we're passionate about delivering powerful, Scripture-based content to strengthen and inspire your faith journey.
