And because starting a sermon series in the book of Judges is kind of like picking up The Chronicles of Narnia halfway through. It’s like starting to watch the “Star Wars” movies in the middle of the story. You start reading or you start watching and you think, “How in the world did we get here? What is going on in this story?” Because that’s the case, we’ll consider first the place of Judges in the story of the Bible. And so how did we get here? So first, the context, the historical context of the book of Judges. Second, a half-hearted people. And then third, a whole-hearted God.  ]] Sun, 03 May 2020 00:00:00 -0500 https://www.fpcjackson.org/resource-library/sermons/a-half-hearted-people-in-the-promised-land https://www.fpcjackson.org/resource-library/2/4781 So we’re looking tonight at a half-hearted people and a whole-hearted God.

And when I was in my teens, I had a couple of different jobs, but whether it was packing bolts and screws or selling shoes, the thing that nobody really wanted to do was to take inventory, was to take a count of the things that we already had. Taking inventory is time consuming. It’s tedious. And it doesn’t seem to accomplish anything tangible. It would be easier to stay busy doing anything else other than taking inventory. But taking inventory is very important; it’s essential for running a good business. ]] Sun, 26 Apr 2020 00:00:00 -0500 https://www.fpcjackson.org/resource-library/sermons/that-in-which-the-lord-delights https://www.fpcjackson.org/resource-library/2/4769 We’re going to look in our Bibles tonight at Jeremiah chapter 9, and we’re going to look at verses 23 and 24 together tonight.
