Before There Were Kings: The Cost of Compromise

Before There Were Kings: The Cost of Compromise

10 Messages

The Book of Judges is a sobering reminder of what happens when people reject God’s truth in favor of their own desires. Judges records the repeated cycles of compromise among God’s people—and compromise always brings disaster. Yet, even in the mess, God raised up imperfect, unexpected leaders to deliver Israel and call the people back to the Lord. Compromise has a great cost attached to it, but it can all be avoided with faithfulness to God. In this series, Pastor Jeff Schreve unpacks the lessons of Judges—warnings against apathy, the dangers of compromise, and the hope of redemption. The truth of it is clear: when you stray from God’s way, life unravels—but when you turn back to Him, He is always faithful to restore.
