“The leadership of Joshua had set them up to [be faithful to the covenant in the land God had given them], and yet success was not automatic. The people depended on faithful leadership, which they generally lacked. Even the judges fell short of the ideal for leaders; nevertheless, God used them to preserve and chastise his people, and to teach them their need for a faithful king (a provision narrated by 1–2 Samuel).” (ESV Study Bible)
NOTE: All sermons after 7/31/2016 were preached at Big Springs Community Church, Montague, California.
