     | 12,614 views

    Too many people are in bondage to their negative thinking, irrational assumptions and sinful tendencies.

    Many people start well but finish poorly. In Judges 2:11-23 we see how Israel began well but gave into a cycle of sin and slavery. The pattern is repeated seven times in the book of Judges over a 350 year period. This cycle of slavery to sin points out the truth of Galatians 6:6 which says, "Be not ...read more

     | 12,034 views

    The most important thing to pass down to your children is not wealth, but a solid faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

    What will you leave behind when you are gone? We come into this world with a clutched fist, and we leave this life with open hands. When we leave, we leave it all behind. I saw a bumper sticker that read, “We are spending our children’s inheritance.” What do you desire to leave behind for your ...read more

    based on 24 ratings

    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. He instructed them to take possession of the land and serve Him in the land. Israel however was very inconsistent in their walk with God often being disobedient, rebellious, and ...read more

    based on 91 ratings
     | 15,326 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 warns against compromise in obedience.

    Cockroaches and compromise Most of you know where we live. Nearly all of the houses around us are rentals, so people come and go. Rarely do we get to know our neighbors well --except when there is a problem. Last week was one of those times. We all joined forces to do battle with a common ...read more

    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

    based on 26 ratings
     | 10,688 views

    We may feel we have a bit of a raw deal- like we’re in a desert- but the key is knowing who and what to ask. We need to ask the Father for ’streams of water’.

    “Give me also springs of water” Judges 1:12-15 WBC 18/7/04am You must be thinking- ‘how on earth are you going to get a sermon out of that, Ewen! Why choose this passage?” Well- I’ve felt led to it out after last week’s sermon on ‘the fountain opened in Jerusalem’ (Zech 13) - and this little ...read more
