Through this series of lessons in Luke 18, Jesus is trying to rectify our faulty thinking on one very important issue: too often people think that they can be good enough to earn eternal life with God, but that is a flawed assessment! I can only imagine what must have been going on in the…

Lecture 7 – With the death of the first judge, Othniel (3:11), the Israelites once again enter into a cycle of sin.
