The Spirit’s Power

When the People Asked for a King

God Himself is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, but His people desired another king. The result was not pleasing to God and it was disastrous for Israel.

A Better Deliverer

The judges of Israel delivered the people time and again from wicked foreign rulers. But Christ is a better deliverer because He saves us from sin and the evil one.

Powerfully Attractive and Deeply Offensive

Idolatry is powerfully attractive, but at the same time it is deeply offensive to God. How should we treat the idols of our hearts?

One of the Saddest Verses in the Bible

During the time of the judges in Israel, the people had lost the knowledge of God and His wondrous works. But thankfully, that knowledge would eventually be restored.

Counting the Cost

The Gospel is free, but there is a cost to follow Jesus. We are called to deny ourselves, take up our cross, and follow Him.
