Lies, violence, betrayal, oppression...They could be stories from today's headlines or they could be the stories that conclude the book of Judges. In both cases, we are seeing what it looks like to live in a world without grace. How does grace keep our hearts from resisting repentance and shifting blame?

Judges 19 is perhaps one of the most difficult and horrifying chapters in the Bible. The moral of the story seems to be "Look what happens when we don't have a king to lead us." But what does that have to do with us today? This sermon deals with this shocking story and see that it's message on kingship is not so much about politics as it is about the deceptiveness of our own hearts.

How does the gospel turn us away from a self-centered religion so that we may truly glorify and enjoy God?
