Dazed and Confused (10 of 11)
Series: Unlikely Heroes of the Bible
Jim Perdue
Judges 17:18
Intro/Attention
Tonight, we come to the second to last message in our study through the Old Testament book of Judges. We have certainly seen some unlikely heroes as we've examined this book. Ultimately, what we see is the wickedness of man, and the faithfulness of God. In fact, that's exactly what we see in our lives as well.
A theme that runs through the book of Judges is summed up in a simple phrase, ''There was no king in Israel. Everyone did what was right in his own eyes.''

I also know that some folks have taken these things way to far and made their own religion out of the series. But here's one thing I do know about Star Wars. The movies that came out first, in the late 70's and early 80's were actually not the beginning of the story. The movies that came out in the late 90's and early to mid 2000's were actually numbers 1, 2, and 3 in the series. Did you know that? Of course you did. What does Star Wars have to do with Judges? I'm glad you asked.
In chapters 17-21, the writer now describes events that happened at the very beginning of this troubled period in Israel's history. We can be cert ...
