After captivity, the return of Israel's exiles to the Promised Land was a powerful demonstration of Yahweh's faithfulness. What would they make of their new opportunities? How would they fare given their "new beginning"? And what lessons are here for us as we follow Jesus in the 21st century?

Today we look at one of the darkest summary pages of Israel's history. This is a key text to understanding the decline and demise of Israel. How will God respond to His people's habitual drift after the gods of the nations? How does He respond when we drift towards the gods of our day?

There's so much in the Big Story about King David it's difficult to cover his life in one sermon. Today we consider his greatest victory and his worst failure. In these we find lessons for us, people still called to live as those "after God's own heart".

Today we consider one of the great stories in all of literature. The Book of Ruth is a concise yet profound drama of human relationships. But it's found in the Word of God; surely there is more to it. Is it a story to merely inform us? Or perhaps inspire us? Or is it given in order to change us?

The book of Judges is often dealt superficially: these are heroes to emulate. A not-too-much closer look reveals that nearly all the judges were deeply flawed and less than exemplary. And Judges' account of Israel's trajectory is tragic. So what can we learn from reading this ancient history? Very useful principles, rooted in the Gospel. Let's reason together (Isaiah 1:18) and remember Jesus' warning: be careful how we listen (Luke 8:18).
