This sermon examines the harrowing narrative of Judges 19 to expose the pervasive moral decay and spiritual blindness of Israel during the period of the judges. Pastor Caleb argues that every character in the story, from the unfaithful concubine to the complicit Levite and the violent mob, embodies the same root sin of doing what is right in one's own eyes rather than submitting to God's law. By drawing parallels between the wickedness of Gibeah and the destruction of Sodom, the text serves as a stark warning that believers are not immune to such depravity by nature. The central message shifts from condemning the historical atrocity to recognizing personal sinfulness, ultimately driving the audience to seek redemption through Jesus Christ. The sermon concludes by highlighting the gospel hope that Christ endured far worse suffering to cleanse His people from their own dark hearts.
