In the final message of this Gideon series, we explore faith under pressure and how God strengthens, tests, and ultimately honors a faith that trusts Him. Drawing from Judges 7, this sermon highlights God’s unconventional ways—reducing the army, breaking human logic, and revealing His power through obedience.

This message reminds us that a faith that has not been tested cannot be trusted, but God never tests without also encouraging and sustaining us. Through Gideon’s journey, we learn how fear is defeated, how faith grows, and how God’s light shines brightest through surrender and dependence on Him.

In this powerful message from Judges 6, Pastor Coats continues the account of Gideon and discovers how God transforms ordinary people by changing how they see themselves. Before God can do something through us, He must first do something in us—and that begins with a God-inspired self-portrait.

This sermon explores how our self-image, self-worth, and self-talk shape our faith, our actions, and our future. Using Gideon’s encounter with God, we learn how to break free from fear, insecurity, and negative identity—and begin to see ourselves the way God sees us: called, equipped, and victorious.

In this message from Psalm 8, Pastor Coats explores the majesty of God’s name, the wonder of creation, and God’s original design for humanity. David reflects on the glory of the heavens and asks the timeless question: “What is man that You are mindful of him?”

This sermon walks verse by verse through Psalm 8, unpacking its meaning, its connection to Genesis and Hebrews, and how God’s name reveals His nature, authority, and purpose for mankind. We’re reminded that God delights in using the humble, restoring humanity’s calling to live under His authority and reflect His glory in the earth.

In this next powerful message in our series Rite In They’re Own Eyes, we turn to Judges 6 and the story of Gideon—an ordinary man who saw himself as the least in his family, yet was called by God a mighty warrior. In a season when Israel was trapped in fear, poverty, and rebellion, God raised up Gideon to remind His people that true victory begins not with strength, but with identity.

Before God could do anything through Gideon, He had to do something in Gideon.

And the same is true for us.

Join us as we uncover:

• The downward spiral of sin and deliverance that defined Israel’s Judges

• How a wrong self-portrait can limit what God wants to do in your life

• Why God often allows discipline to build character before destiny

• How Jehovah Shalom—the Lord is Peace—meets us in our fear

• How God turns our question marks into exclamation points of faith

Whether you feel hidden, hesitant, or unqualified, God is shaping your identity for His glory. Let Him rewrite your reflection and reveal who you truly are—His warrior, His instrument, His masterpiece.

In this powerful continuation of our series Rite In They're Own Eyes, we explore the life and legacy of Deborah, one of Israel’s greatest leaders and prophets found in Judges 4 and 5. In a time of chaos and moral decline, God raised up Deborah as a woman of wisdom, prophetic authority, and uncommon courage. Her life not only brought deliverance to Israel but revealed a timeless truth: God uses ordinary people with prophetic anointing to break strongholds, confront spiritual darkness, and lead His people into victory.

Join us as we uncover:

• The cycle of rebellion, despair, and deliverance in Judges
• How Deborah’s prophetic voice confirms, inspires, and activates God’s people
• What it means to be a modern-day “judge” in spiritual warfare
• The necessity of both prophetic anointing and godly leadership in today’s church
• The role of apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers in equipping the Body of Christ

Whether you’re called to lead, speak, or serve, God wants to release a prophetic anointing in your life. Step into the victory He’s already declared!
