There Was No King in Israel
Sermon by Mark SchindlerIn the land of promise, God intended a place of rest and refreshment for His people, a land of peace that comes from living His word. Yet, as seen in the Book of Judges, the people became disobedient and idolatrous, lacking the peace God desired for them. For the first sixteen chapters of Judges, God in His sovereignty raised up judges to bring the people back into line, but in the last five chapters, it is clear how far Israel had fallen away from Him. They lost sight of the King who was always there, failing to obey His word, and fell into depravity, doing what was right in their own eyes. By the end of the book, in Judges 21:25, it is evident that in those days there was no king in Israel, and every man did what was right in his own eyes, resulting in depravity, pain, suffering, and warfare instead of the peace God intended.
