This morning we get back into our study verse by verse through the book of Judges in the Old Testament. The vicious cycle begins. The people do what is evil in the sight of the Lord. The people suffer the consequences of their actions and are punished by God. The people cry out to God for help. God sends a deliverer in the form of a Judge. The Judge delivers the people and defeats their enemies. The Judge dies. The people go right back to practicing evil. It seems humanity has a really difficult time learning their lesson. Scripture text is Judges 3:7-31.
