Calvary Chapel Sydney

Synopsis: The period of the Judges began with everyone doing what was right in their own eyes without a king, and the book concludes in the same way. The Israelites were more concerned to keep their word than to obey God's word, to avoid their own curses than to do what brought blessing. Their self-inflicted wounds provide opportunity for wise self-reflection: are we those who do what is right in our own eyes or will we submit to our King Jesus to live for Him?
