The book of Judges covers a period of hundreds of years that ultimately ends with everyone in Israel doing what is right in their own eyes. Israel chose to only partially obey God, which led to a repeated cycle of sin, oppression, crying out to God for help, God's deliverance of His people through a Judge, short-term peace, complacency, and sin yet again. Over and over this cycle occurred in the land.
Yet throughout this chaotic time period, God raised up the unlikely Judges - the broken, the injured, old, young, men and women - to ultimately rescue His people. Even in darkness, He worked through them to accomplish His will, and continues to use the unlikely today.
Join us as we begin a 4-week sermon series, The Judges, this Sunday with the message "Introduction - The Endless Cycle."
