In this challenging look at Judges 19–21, Pastor Timothy Golden explores the tragic reality of what took place between Israel and the tribe of Benjamin, comparing the internal conflict of ancient Israel to an autoimmune disease where the body begins to destroy itself. Through the lens of a nation in moral freefall—where "everyone did what was right in his own eyes"— he uncovers the dangerous trap of seeking justice without repentance, zeal without wisdom, and guidance without full surrender. As we examine why God allowed His people to suffer defeat despite fighting for what they believed was righteous, we are reminded that outrage is not a substitute for holiness and that our battles cannot be won through pride. Join us as we reflect on these sobering events to learn how the church today can avoid internal destruction, guard our unity, and find true healing in the only King who can restore what sin has broken: Jesus Christ.
