October 18, 2026 | Moving from Judges to 1 Samuel, Pastor Ben Mandrell shares how the Israelites asked Samuel to let them have a king to rule over them. Through this message, we see how people look to replace God with whatever leadership or idol sounds best to them. What they did not understand is that this pursuit would lead to negative consequences for their people.

October 11, 2026 | Pastor Ben Mandrell closes our study of the book of Judges with a special message about how God uses unlikely people to accomplish His will. In Judges 4, Deborah encourages Barak to follow the commands God has already given him and a woman named Jael later brings victory in a surprising manner. Whether or not we see God at work, we must always remember that He is in control.

October 4, 2026 | Continuing through the book of Judges, Pastor Ben Mandrell speaks on the spiritual drift of Samson. As we focus on Judges 16, we see how Samson turned away from God's calling on his life, instead pursuing worldly desires like a relationship with a treacherous woman named Delilah. What happens when we drift spiritually? How does the heart fall away from the Lord and settle for lesser pursuits?

How can we make sure our own faith stands firm?

In our daily lives, are we more like the nine men who ran off without showing gratitude? How can we be thankful in all circumstances, whether in times of small victories or big disappointments?
