Judges: In Need of a King Judges. One of the least studied books of the OT.

If we’re honest we’re always somewhere on the scale between belief and unbelief.

It is, and always has been our behavior, our sin that has separated us from God.

For the last several years I have gotten up super early on Easter to think about how many people so easily awake to forget about Jesus and what He has done for us.
