Judges 1 (2)

Ehud

I am going to be with y'all for the next three weeks. So I figured I would take this chance to do my first series preaching to a congregation. I have done many series in the past but they were always for Sunday School or something like that. Never preaching a series were everything relies on me and not back and forth conversation.

The series we are going to be going through is over the book of Judges. More specifically we will be doing an over view of three of the people God called to be Judges, how He used them, and how that translates to us.

Judges takes place in the years just after the conquest—a period of struggle as the Israelites’ faith weakened. Their stories follow a cycle; Israel turns from God, so God sends their enemies to oppress them. Israel cries out to God, so God raises up a judge to deliver them. While that judge lives, Israel follows God. When the judge dies, the cycle begins again, but at each cycle Israel falls further.
