Judges Week 10: A Nation in Decline | Judges 19–21 | Charisse Compton
Judges concludes with a deeply sobering illustration of what the kingdom of this world is like. While the author doesn’t shrink from revealing the horrors of what humanity becomes when they reject God as king, he nonetheless ends his history of the judges on a hopeful note. He invites us to look through the gloom of “those days” to a new day when “the kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his [King], and he shall reign forever and ever” (Rev 11:15).
That day is coming! And it comes courtesy of a willing Savior-and now enthroned King-whose Father sent him out the doors of heaven into the arms of a worthless mob intent on doing him harm. While we “worthless fellows” blindly stumbled around seeking other saviors, Jesus quietly laid down his life for ours. Now freed from sin’s tyranny, previously “worthless fellows” have become citizens of Heaven’s kingdom, anticipating the day when all the earth does what is “right” in God’s eyes.

Judges Week 9: A Priesthood in Decline | Judges 17 & 18 | Kïrsten Christianson

Sometimes, in order to repent and worship God, we have to take a long hard look at what life apart from him looks like. This week in Judges 17 and 18, we saw the ironic and devastating effects of Israel’s rejection of the one true God: “There was no king in Israel, and everyone did right in their own eyes.” The fruit: relational manipulation, deceit, generational sin, the perversion of the prie...
Judges Week 8: This Great Salvation | Judges 16 | Lindsay Osborne

Samson’s story captured our attention with daring exploits, romantic betrayal, and a last-minute plot twist. It’s clear, however, that Samson is not the hero of the tale. He walked contrary to God’s ways and took God’s gifts for granted. His life offers warnings about the dangers of compromise and presuming on the Lord’s kindness. Our covenant-keeping God is the real hero of Samson’s story. God...

In Samson’s life, we saw the glorious character of God revealed: * When Israel was unfaithful, God remained a covenant-keeper. He disciplined Israel and sent the help they didn’t ask for. * When Manoah’s vision was small, God revealed himself as too wonderful. He accepted their offering and promised a baby boy. * When Samson wanted to marry a Philistine, God’s plans were not thwarted. He used S...
Judges Week 6: Victory is Swallowed Up in Death | Judges 10-12 | Charisse Compton

Jephthah’s story is both triumph and tragedy. The author of Judges recounts Jephthah’s life in such a way that his “victory is swallowed up in death.” But Jephthah’s story is just prologue to the best story. His life illustrates the inability of all other saviors to deliver us from our worst enemy. He prepares us for another judge who will rise to deliver his people. Like Jephthah, this judge w...

Four takeaway truths we glean from this passage about Abimelech: 1. Abimelech’s dark chapter in Israel’s history harbors this lovely truth about God: that he is loyal to his own beyond death. 2. Abimelech’s story illustrates how deeply God cares about the unity of his people. 3. Abimelech’s life warns us of the internal danger of sin. 4. Abimelech prepares us for the incomparable Jesus.

This week we saw the wonders of the Lord’s sovereign mercy and grace in Judges 6-8; his grace is much greater and higher than all of our sins and our shortcomings. The Lord, in sovereign grace and mercy, called Gideon, calmed his fears, clothed him with the Spirit of God. But, also in grace, he kept stacking the deck against his people. Why? So that God could get all the glory for the victory r...

What the author of Judges observed is much like what Jesus observed when he looked over the multitudes of people following him. As Jesus said, “They are like sheep with no shepherd,” (Matt 9:36) so the author of Judges said, they were a nation with no King.” And in the absence of a king, in the absence of good leaders and shepherds, there is no end to the trouble the nation will get into. In Ju...

Judges: Who Can Save Us? INTRODUCTION SEMINAR Dr. David Howard

Dr. David Howard helps us get an overarching sense of the book of Judges as we head into our study this Fall. He begins with the theme of the book-the downward spiral of Israel’s national and spiritual life into chaos and apostasy, showing the need for a godly king to lead it-and helps us to see how it was written in order to show the consequences of religious apostasy and to point the way to a...

This week we considered what our life will be like in eternity. Although we may have some funny misperceptions (floating on a cloud with a harp?), the reality that we observed in our text is full of rich delight and soul-stirring joy.

The marriage supper of the lamb is a biblical picture of the joy-filled fellowship which awaits God’s people. In Revelation 19:6-9, we get a vision of a rejoicing heavenly multitude and the four reasons they overflow with praise to God on that occasion. 1. The Almighty God reigns! He has conquered every enemy. (1 Corinthians 15:54-57) 2. The marriage of the lamb, a glorious groom, is finally he...

Pure Delight! In heaven, our capacity to behold and receive God’s glory will be different. When we experience God’s glory, our own will pale in comparison. Self will seem microscopic and insignificant in light of God’s glory, not because people do not matter, but because we will see the God whose image we bear. Worship will be unfiltered as faith becomes sight, and our capacity to take in God’s...

In John 14:1-3 Jesus speaks of leaving his disciples to prepare the way for them, and they are troubled. He responds by calling them to believe in him and to believe in God. As he calls them to believe, he is also calling them to relationship with himself. He calls them to replace their troubled hearts with hearts of faith. He promises he is going to prepare a place for them. He will take them ...

James Study Week 10, Steadfast in Prayer, Pam Larson 11.15.23
Abigail, I have singled Dr John Piper out for criticism. Why? Because Piper is a total, thorough hypocrite the likes of which I have never before witnessed. Never before has a man so closely identified with the pro life movement been responsible for so many deaths. When I attended Piper’s church I was mesmerized by the most powerful, and truly the most inciting, riveting prolife sermons I’d ever heard. Now I realize what an utter and complete fraud Dr John Piper is. Does he think that abortion is murder? Oh yes! Is it important to stand against it? Oh yes! But only if you don’t have to vote for a sinner to end it. When John Piper said being against Trump is more important than life and freedom, for me, he crossed a line, the biggest, thickest line that could ever be. Why don’t I focus my ire on those who are known to be pro choice? Because they are known, and therefore they do not deceive Christians. Dr John Piper, on the other hand, deceives Christians en masse. He is a wolf in sheep’s clothing, clothing that is near-perfect in its ability to beguile. The fact that John Piper is willing to sacrifice millions of children to achieve such ephemeral a goal as the defeat of a single man is an egregious crime against a thrice holy God. For those of you who would claim I shouldn’t say anything against this man, I’d ask you to put yourself in the position of a child in the womb. Would you want someone to scream as loudly as they could in your defense? Or would you prefer the church to be winsome and “loving” as your throat is sliced?

It sounds like she is giving a memorized speech, not a Bible study. Her content is good, but it sounds too formal.
Powerful presentation. Thank you, Pam!
