Judges Sermons Archives - Covenant United Reformed Church

The land of Canaan is the land that is flowing with milk and honey. It is a land of riches, wealth, and a place of rest. The Lord made very clear to Israel in Deuteronomy 7 that if Israel followed the Lord’s precepts they would have the land. We see in the book of Judges that Israel failed to subdue the land. Did God under estimate the power of the Canaanites? Was God short sighted in the establishing of this kingdom? What happened that Israel did not secure this land? Please stay tuned as we work through these questions in our sermon titled, "And He Settled Luz."

The tribe of Judah is destined to bring forth a king from their midst. We notice that they are also the tribe that is to take the initiative in holy war. Judah is to lead the people of Israel in holy war. There are victories as they cleanse the land. However, are all these victories according to the law and standard of Moses? Are there failings in this text? What do these failings tell us about the tribes of Israel? If you are curious about these questions please stay tuned as we listen to our sermon titled, "Judah Shall Lead You."

We have studied the book of Joshua and witnessed the Israelites conduct the Lord’s holy war as they entered the land of Canaan. There were times when they did well, and there were times when they did not perform so well. So, now we turn to the next book that begins with the statement that Joshua has died. How will Israel perform without their leader? Who will fight for them? Why is this book in scripture? How does this book give us assurances today? If you are curious about these questions please stay tuned to our sermon titled, "Who Shall Go Up and Fight for Us?"
