Israel forgot the Lord, served Baals and Asheroth, and fell under oppression. Then God raised a deliverer. Judges 3:7–11 begins the cycle that runs through the book: apostasy, judgment, crying out, and amazing grace. The first judge, Othniel, shows that the true Hero is the Lord Himself. Idolatry is not only bowing to another god—it is putting anything above God. This message traces that pattern and points to the grace that still rescues His people.Want clear Reformed preaching through Judges and the rest of Scripture?
