    When things go wrong, we are right to look for a reason. Certainly in the case of Israel at the beginning of the book of Judges, the problems were obvious. Are these true of us?

    Passage: Judges 2:1-23 Intro: “A man was walking home one night, and he fell into a huge, 12 foot hole in the road…. This happened several nights, until he finally went down another road.” 1. we have just finished Revelation, which showed us very clearly the consequences of our choices and ...read more

    We need to teach the next generation or we’ll pay a great spiritual price. Bible class is one way to do that.

    What’s Wrong With Skipping Bible Class? Judges 2:10-15 ( have a couple kids stand up with me as a visual for the lesson) There is an interesting phenomenon that happened on any given Sunday in any given church. More people show up for worship services than for Bible classes. We average about ...read more

    Life Without God

    Contributed by James Harrington on May 9, 2003
    based on 24 ratings
     | 26,309 views

    In our society it seems that we are devoid of God. Life wasn’t much different in the days of Judges. It’s a life literally without God.

    Life Without God I remember clearly the day when I first saw the sign “God is Dead.” About 30 years ago, I was traveling on I-65 headed north to Indiana with my family. My mind was in neutral and I was somewhere else in “never-never land” as you sometimes get when you are driving on a long trip. ...read more

    Shamgar was a nobody, who posessed the right amount of noble discontentment, and had the faith to make a difference

    Before God ruled His people with powerful kings, he delivered them with great judges. Shamgar was the third of these judges. Let me give you some background about what is happening during this time. Israel had a habit of turning from God. And in this particular time there was a definite need of ...read more

    Drive Out Sin Or It Will Drive You

     | 13,394 views

    God’s command to Israel to drive out every idol and every idolater from Canaan has a definite meaning to every Christian. Drive out every sin.

    DRIVE OUT SIN OR IT WILL DRIVE YOU! Judges 2:1-22 One of the greatest problems that I see in the church is that fact that too many people follow the same path that Israel followed when they first entered into the Promised Land. They were quick to forget the great miracles of deliverance that God ...read more

    God never intended for his children to live a crummy life, just getting by on left overs, Ours is life abundant in Christ.

    Judg 1:1-7 1Now after the death of Joshua it came to pass, that the children of Israel asked the LORD, saying, Who shall go up for us against the Canaanites first, to fight against them? 2And the LORD said, Judah shall go up: behold, I have delivered the land into his hand. 3And Judah said unto ...read more

    Israel failed to follow God fully. The message God sends to Israel is an admonition and a warning to believers today.

    FAILING TO FOLLOW FULLY Judges 2:1-6 INTRODUCTION: God had led Israel through the wilderness and to the land of promise.
