Darkness on SermonAudio

Because we have been redeemed and indwelt by the Spirit, we ought to walk under the influence of the Spirit, so that we can shine for the glory of God in a dark world, Exhibiting the Marks of the Sprit's Control: Joyful Singing, Thankfulness, Submission Preached at RCC 7/19/26

The book of Judges is one of my favorites—but certainly not because it's an easy read. If you are not yet getting a bit sick of hearing Israel descend into sin again and again, you likely will be by the time we are done. But that is exactly the point—the true nature of sin is so noxious, that the land itself had become "sick" because of the sins of the people (and that's putting it nicely: see Lev 18:24-28). Sin is ugly, and its effects are nauseating. But although sin brings death, life is found in Christ. The saga of Judges will be complicated, and unsettling, and quite dark at times. But it is given for our instruction, so that we would see the darkness of our sin set against the glory of Christ. Charles Spurgeon is often credited with saying "I have learned to kiss the wave that throws me against the Rock of Ages." But the real quotation from his 1874 sermon is better still: "The wave of temptation may even wash you higher up upon the Rock of Ages, so that you cling to it with a firmer grip than you have ever done before; and so again where sin abounds, grace will much more abound." Sin is ugly. But Christ is glorious.
