Our focus today is Ruth 2:20, where Naomi introduces the concept of the kinsman redeemer. This is the first time the word “redeemer” appears in the story, and it carries deep meaning—not just for Ruth and Naomi, but for all of us who look to Jesus, our Redeemer.

Our focus today is understanding what led to this civil war, what it cost Israel, and why chapter 21 closes the book with such a strange and uncomfortable solution. This final part of Judges reminds us how chaotic and tragic life becomes when people are no longer submitted to God’s rule.

Our focus today isn’t on a single verse, but on helping us understand how this could happen—and why it’s in the Bible. This chapter shows us what happens when a people no longer submit to God’s authority. Judges 19 is raw and tragic—but it’s meant to shock us awake.

Today, we’re in Judges 10-12, where Israel once again turns away from God, falls into oppression, and cries out for deliverance. Our focus is Judges 11:34-35, where Jephthah’s victory turns into personal devastation.
