Judges 2:6-3:6
How do we pass on our faith to others and the next generation? How did Israel fail at this? Our culture is full of idols much like in the time of the Judges. As Christians, we much have knowledge of what the Bible clearly says and be able to talk about how it is drastically different from what the culture says. There are 4 source idols in Western Culture. Power, Control, Comfort, and Approval. All of Judges was a test for Israel and where they failed miserably, Jesus succeeded.
In Judges, we see what happens when God's people forsake Him and seek what is right IN THEIR OWN EYES. Even as Israel spirals into chaos, destruction, and sin, God pursues them by providing mediators who would point them to a GREATER MEDIATOR -- one who would not only judge but be judged in their place.
