JudgesSteve Gregg
Steve Gregg discusses Judges 2:6 - 3:30, focusing on the idea that despite being raised hearing about God, many people do not have a personal experience with Him. He highlights that the test of faith is obedience to God when times are difficult, rather than just when things are easy. Gregg also discusses the story of Ehud and Eglon, highlighting the importance of leadership in both the spiritual and domestic areas of life. Ultimately, the message conveyed is that true obedience to God involves more than just giving lip service to the faith, but also a willingness to follow His commandments even in the face of adversity.
