Week 8 — The Judges Cycle¶
Bottom line
Judges shows Israel stuck in a repeating cycle: they turn away from God, fall into trouble, cry out for help, and God raises a judge to rescue them — only for the cycle to start again. The main idea is that without a faithful leader and without hearts anchored to God, people drift into chaos and "do what is right in their own eyes.
