The Book of Judges takes place in the backdrop of political instability, conflict and spiritual compromise. But in the midst of the bad news God continues to work as he raises up deliverers and shows His people His unending patience. Judges show us that no matter how bad things get, God continues to pour out His grace on His people.

Jesus went out of his way to address that justification by works is an impossible endeavor because God's standards are greater and higher than sinners could ever hope to achieve. Instead of working for our salvation, it must be received. In our modern day, we have in subtle and overt ways adopted this way of life and because of this, we have lost the joys that come from the gospel.

The book of Revelation gives us a new way of seeing; it shows us what’s beyond the headlines of wars and social upheaval; it gives us a glimpse into the spiritual world around us. Revelation ultimately points us to Jesus, the Lamb of God, who is ruling on His throne. The message of Revelation gives us hope that the end of history will be worked out together for our glorious good.
