Join us and FBC member Eric Johnson as we uncover the profound lessons hidden within these often overlooked biblical narratives. Inspired by his father's captivating storytelling and a friend's heartfelt encouragement, Eric shares his journey of renewed faith through the lens of Judges, a book that sits intriguingly between the conquest of the Promised Land in Joshua and the rise of the monarchy with King Saul.
Journey with us through the early challenges faced by the Israelites as they grapple with idolatry and divine judgment in the conquest of Canaan detailed in Joshua. We reflect on the moral dilemmas modern readers encounter when interpreting these ancient events. Through Eric's insights, we celebrate God's unwavering faithfulness in fulfilling His promises and delve into the complex role of judges. From the solemn warnings of Joshua’s farewell speeches to the multifaceted leadership of the judges, we paint a vivid picture of this pivotal era in biblical history.
