Judges

This message teaches us about Gideon’s wicked son, Abimilech, and his evil desire to become king of Israel.  You will also learn about Jephthah who does something unthinkable.  As the end of the list of Judges comes closer, the sin is becoming deeper.   How can a people turn so far from God?  This study will remind us that any group of people who abandons the true God will go deeper and deeper into sin — and the way back becomes more and more difficult.  

This message focuses on the 4th cycle in Judges and looks at the person of Gideon.  Gideon was not a brave person (or one to follow as an example!) but God was patient with him and used him to show His power over the Midianites.

This study begins a 5-part series on Judges.  This message looks at little-known judges, Othniel and Ehud.  We will also overview the Book of Judges and learn about the downward spiral of a nation.
