Sermons About Judges
Introduction to Judges
The book of Judges covers the period lasting approximately 430 years between the death of Joshua and the period of the Kings, notably including David. During this period, the people Israel had no clear leader, so lost their spiritual way, forgetting God and what He had done for them. From time to time God showed his compassion on his people by raising up a Judges to rescue them, but each time the respite was temporary and when the Judge died the people would turn even further away from the Lord. The episodes described by Judges leads us to ask three things: 1. Do we know God and what He has done for us? 2. Do we recognise God's outrageous compassion on His people? 3. Are we prepared to live the lives that God calls us to?

Monarchy Over Anarchy

Self-Destruction
This sermon is the first in our new series, "Under the Influence" from the book of Judges. By looking at the historical example of Israel in the opening chapters of Judges we are reminded of this irony: when we are most concerned about ourselves we are most likely to destroy ourselves. Listen in as we look at how Israel's experience speaks to us today.

Sleeping With The Enemy
Samson and Delilah: one of the tragic love stories of all time - or was it really a love story? Upon closer look, one discovers it to be more a story of lust than love. Everyone loses with lust unless, of course, they look to the Light.

Seizing My Chance To Do Something Great
God uses the strangest things and the most unlikely people to accomplish His purposes. He used a bush (Exodus 3), a donkey (Numbers 22), and a small boy (I Samuel 17)...to name a few. The amazing thing is God can even use you and me. But for that to happen we must remember what being used by God requires.

Broken At Bokim
Bokim. It may not be a vacation hot spot, but it is a place all of us may visit from time to time. Bokim is the place of change following a period of compromise. And a visit there may very well prevent a descent into darkness.

Descent Into Darkness
Of all the Old Testament books that cause us to scratch our heads, the Book of Judges may top the list. Though the book seems foreign to our modern world, much of it reads like the frong page of the paper: It's dark in there.
