A Downward Spiral

In this introduction to a series on Judges, the overarching theme of the book as "sin brings judgment but repentance brings forgiveness and rest" is introduced. Three repeating themes of the book are also introduced. They are, the downward spiral of people toward increasing immorality and away from God spiritually. Second, that God is sovereign over creation and brings both good and evil. Third, that the only hope for humanity is Jesus Christ.
