The closing chapters of Judges are some of the darkest in all of Scripture. A horrific atrocity in Gibeah sparks civil war, leading Israel to the brink of wiping out one of its own tribes. What unfolds is not justice but chaos, not holiness but depravity. The people of God have become indistinguishable from Sodom itself.

In this message, Pastor Matt unpacks:

• The atrocity at Gibeah and its echo of Sodom (Judges 19)

• Israel’s civil war and the dangers of religious language without true submission to God (Judges 20)

• The tragic resolution that reveals Israel’s corruption (Judges 21)

Yet through all of it, the gospel hope shines through: while Israel rejected God’s kingship, we have a true and better King in Jesus Christ, the Lion of Judah, who gave His life willingly for His people.
