8 Weeks

In The Time Of The Judges

This eight-week series looks at God’s faithfulness and redemptive work in the books of Judges and Ruth. We will see how the Israelites—like us—were repeatedly unfaithful and prone to worshipping idols, yet God chose to rescue them by sending judges—a cycle that plays over and over. It becomes clear that a temporary military leader, a judge, was not enough to sustain and save Israel; they needed a king (and ultimately, the King of Kings). An intimate family story in the book of Ruth—set during the time of Judges, yet in contrast to its brutality—speaks to this deep need for redemption. Just as Ruth is grafted into Israel, from her descendants comes the ultimate kinsman-redeemer who grafts all who believe into the kingdom of God.

Using This Series Guide

The Series Guide is a comprehensive resource designed to help you lead your congregation through this sermon series. It includes weekly sermon outlines, discussion questions, and key theological insights to support your teaching preparation.

Each guide has been thoughtfully crafted to provide you with both depth and flexibility as you prepare your messages.

This series includes 8 weeks of content.

The Series Guide is not a word-for-word sermon script. It's not meant to replace your own study and preparation, but rather to complement it with additional resources and structure.

It also doesn't include all media assets - those are available in the downloads section.

We recommend starting with the series overview to understand the big picture themes. Then, for each week, review the scripture passages, main points, and illustrations provided.

Use the discussion questions for small groups or to spark your own thinking. Feel free to adapt any content to fit your congregation's specific needs and context.
