Judges 9: The Story of Abimelech | Corruption and betrayal are what awaits an Israel that has been loosed from it's mooring to God as their object of worship. This chapter focuses on the deceit, trickery, murder, and bloodshed that comes from the corruption of pagan idolatry.Journey 8 | Leadership . Journey Eight takes us into the heart of biblical leadership. Joshua leads us into the Promised Land with strength and courage, but Judges delivers a stark commentary on the dangers of relativism and living right in your own eyes. Yet in the midst of tragic times, Ruth provides one the greatest love stories in all antiquity. Then in 1&2 Timothy, Paul trains his apprentice in the ways of humble, Christ-like leadership.
