When all seems lost and failure overwhelms you, remember God's purposes are still being accomplished. Consider how the concluding chapter of Judges points to this hopeful end as Pastor Rory emphasizes the faithful goodness of God.

Judges 19-20 is a difficult passage to read and ponder. Why did God include such a passage, retelling these events from Israel's history? Pastor Rory explains that Judges 19-20 reminds us of the shocking horror of sin, while also reminding us of the shocking awe of grace in the gospel that can save from such destruction.

When God is forgotten or rejected, man simply does what is right in his own eyes. The results of such a choice will always prove devastating. The book of Judges concludes with some stark warnings for all of us. Hear from Pastor Nate as he reveals the lessons from Micah and a false priest in Judges 17 & 18, and the warning signs that are meant to call us back into a humble state of submission to God.

The end of Samson's life is a mirror of our own. Pastor Rory preaches from Judges 16 to offer Samson as a warning to our own unfaithfulness and to extol the goodness of God even when we are unfaithful.

The importance of the resurrection of Jesus cannot be overstated. Without it, there is no hope. Without it, there is no everlasting life. Without it, Jesus is not who he said he was. Pastor Rory explains from 1 Corinthians 15 how the resurrection event impacts our lives on a daily basis.

What's the point of Palm Sunday? Pastor Rory explains from Psalm 118 that Palm Sunday gives us confidence that God will keep His promises. God's lovingkindness is everlasting, and He proves it by working for and defending us and His Word.

Samson had such a promising start with a miraculous appearance of God to his parents and promise that he would deliver Israel. But his life didn't live up to its promising start. Pastor Nate explains from Judges 14-15 how Samson's selfish unfaithfulness still didn't derail the faithfulness of God to His people.

What happens when we do what is right in our own eyes? Learn from the story of Jephthah as Pastor Rory explains from Judges 10-12 that God's wisdom must guide our choices and way of life.

The pride of life is destructive to ourselves and our relationships. Pastor Nate explains how we see the destructiveness of pride and its awful consequences in the story of Abimelech from Judges 8:28-9:57

Dr. Jeff Newman speaks at Bible Conference 2024 about how conflicts threaten relationships. The source of conflicts are the things that we want that conflict with the things that others want. But when we can draw near to God and seek His glory, we can set aside conflict as we all desire the same thing.
