Jesus, Our Deliverer

Series: The Story of Redemption

Category: Gospel, Grace, Character of God

Speaker: Jason Williams

In this sermon, we studied Judges 2:16–18, where we see the heart of God revealed in His response to His people's rebellion. Even when Israel repeatedly turned from Him to serve other gods, God raised up judges to rescue them—not because they deserved it, but because He was moved by their groaning and suffering. This passage reminds us that our deliverance doesn't depend on our ability to earn it, but on God's mercy. In the book of Judges, we see every earthly "deliverer" ultimately points to the true and final Deliverer—Jesus—who saves us not temporarily, but forever. His compassion moves Him toward us even when we are undeserving, and His faithfulness calls us to trust Him more deeply and surrender more fully.
