First, in the book of Judges there’s always peace in the land, peace in Canaan, and then the Israelites sin against God through idolatry and God judges them and gives them over to those sins and they are oppressed by a foreign nation, a different people group. But then God unexpectedly comes in and sends a judge, a rescuer to save them. There’s a brief peace in the land again and then it starts over.  ]] Sun, 10 May 2020 00:00:00 -0500 https://www.fpcjackson.org/resource-library/sermons/the-meaning-of-history https://www.fpcjackson.org/resource-library/2/4793 What we just read, commentators typically call the cycle of the Judges, and this pattern, it’s a pattern or a cycle that makes Judges really easy to outline.

And because starting a sermon series in the book of Judges is kind of like picking up The Chronicles of Narnia halfway through. It’s like starting to watch the “Star Wars” movies in the middle of the story. You start reading or you start watching and you think, “How in the world did we get here? What is going on in this story?” Because that’s the case, we’ll consider first the place of Judges in the story of the Bible. And so how did we get here? So first, the context, the historical context of the book of Judges. Second, a half-hearted people. And then third, a whole-hearted God.  ]] Sun, 03 May 2020 00:00:00 -0500 https://www.fpcjackson.org/resource-library/sermons/a-half-hearted-people-in-the-promised-land https://www.fpcjackson.org/resource-library/2/4781 So we’re looking tonight at a half-hearted people and a whole-hearted God.
