“In those days Israel had no king; everyone did as they saw fit.” With those words the dark and violent Book of Judges comes to a close. In Judges, Israel are stuck in the Cycle of Sin (Sin - Oppression - Repentance - Deliverance - Peace) with no way to get out. In this message, Benjamin Shanks explores how Jesus gets us out of the cycle of sin.

To break the cycle of sin, we need:

1 — A COMMUNITY AROUND US;

2 — A SAVIOUR AMONG US;

3 — A KING ABOVE US.
