Series: Unlikely Heroes of the Bible

Judges 1:2
This is the first message in our series on the book of Judges. Tonight's message will be an introduction to the book. I've entitled this series, Unlikely Heroes of the Bible because the book of Judges tells us so many stories of some very unlikely heroes. But ultimately, please remember there's really only one hero in the Bible, and His name is Jesus.
God uses people at various times and in various ways, but as we'll see throughout this study, everyone He uses is very much flawed. One thing you'll notice as we study the book of Judges is that each hero is very much imperfect. And as the years go on, the judges seem to be more and more flawed.
This book was written during a period of national decline. In spite of their promise to keep the covenant and follow the Lord, the people of Israel turned away from the Lord to idolatry.
This book records the history of God's people after the death of Joshua and their attempt to conquer the land of Canaan. It also shows us The Danger of Disobedience.
One major lesson that we learn in this OT book of history is, ''Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.'' I think that we today are living in a period similar to that described in the Book of Judges:
There is no king in Israel.
People are doing what is right in their own eyes.
God's people can't seem to work together.
People are in bondage to various enemies.
But here and there, God is raising up men and women who believe Him, confront the enemy, and win the victory. Judges 2:10-23 basically summarizes this entire book of OT history. And sadly, it could summarize the lives of many Christians and the existence of many churches as well. READ Judges 2:10-23
