Judges | God’s Faithfulness to Unfaithful People 
(8:1-35 — The Dangers of Human Leadership, Pt.1)

Judges 8:1-35

God-given leadership, while it is a blessing, also becomes a test for both the leader and the people they lead.

Proverbs 27:21; Deuteronomy 8:2

“The best of men are only men at their very best. Patriarchs, prophets, and apostles, – martyrs, fathers, reformers, puritans, – all are sinners, who need a Savior: holy, useful, honorable in their place – but sinners after all.” — J.C. Ryle

Pitfalls for People:

  • A refusal to listen to good leaders as given by God

Hebrews 13:17-18; 2 Timothy 4:3-4

  • A reliance on good leaders instead of God

Psalm 146:3-4

Human beings make terrible gods, but Jesus can bear the full weight of our trust.
