Judges: When We Forget, He Calls Us — Getting Back on Track in Times of Confusion
The Book of Judges is one of the most intense and moving stories in the Bible. It shows us what happens when the human heart turns away from God: cycles of sin, suffering, repentance, and redemption. But it also reveals something much deeper: the unwavering mercy of a God who never tires of rescuing his people, time and again.
Judges begins at a critical time: after the death of Joshua and before the establishment of kings. It is a time when "every man did what was right in his own eyes," because there was no stable leadership or firm obedience to the Word. And yet, in the midst of chaos, God raises up imperfect but purposeful leaders to restore direction and hope.
