Judges 1:1 - 2:5

JudgesSteve Gregg
In this lesson, Steve Gregg discusses Judges 1:1 - 2:5, which details the Israelites' struggles to conquer and inhabit the land promised to them by God. Despite their initial victories, they failed to fully possess their inheritance due to factors such as the determination of the Canaanites to dwell in the land and the Israelites' disloyalty to God. Gregg highlights the importance of determination and loyalty in achieving success and emphasizes the consequences of going against God's plans.
