People Without a King

Bible Text: Judges 19:1-21:25 |

Series:

This sermon goes over what may be the most vile event recorded in the pages of Scripture. It's recorded to reveal to us the human heart apart from submission to a righteous King. It points us forward to our need of rescue by the flawless King Jesus. It's a disturbing read, but in many ways, describes the times we live in so well.



Judges

In the time of the Judges, there was no king. As a result the people of Israel did what was right in their own eyes. The time of the Judges is a time of chaos and turmoil, the people longed for a king. Our time is full of chaos and turmoil, it should cause us to long for the King—Jesus Christ.
