In this message, Pastor Matt continues unpacking Judges 1, where Judah's early victories give way to troubling compromises. From mutilating Adoni-Bezek to partnering with Canaanites, we see how small ethical choices lead Israel away from full obedience. What begins as a promising conquest ends with incomplete victories and spiritual decline.
Are we doing the same? Have we replaced God's commands with cultural convenience? Learn what it means to serve God with undivided loyalty—and why obedience matters more than outcomes.
Key Themes:
• Trusting God vs. relying on alliances
• The danger of tolerating what God says to remove
• True obedience over apparent success
• Raising the next generation to serve the Lord
📖 “God doesn’t need your win or your work. He wants your obedience.”
