God demonstrates His power in Judges 4 despite evil's oppression, despite man's might, and despite the passive obedience of his people. Pastor Rory explains from the story of Barak and Sisera how our faith can rest in the power of God to save and sanctify regardless of how grim and hopeless life may seem.

God truly works in mysterious ways. The story of Ehud is no exception. Pastor Rory explains from Judges 3 how God's will is often accomplished by the most unexpected people in the most unexpected ways. He does not work according to human convention but in ways that require faith.

The short account of Othniel is unique in the book of Judges with no drama, no character, development, etc. Pastor Nate explains from Judges 3:7-11 that this important narrative defines Israel's destructive cycle more clearly and makes the hope of deliverance more powerful.

Why is it so important that we recognize Jesus as the God-Man? Pastor Rory explains how Isaiah 9:6-7 emphasizes that Jesus is the God-Man, and how the Scriptures make this truth a necessity for our salvation.

The world attempts to disregard God as the source of peace by questioning His goodness and offering fake alternatives. Pastor Rory explains from Isaiah 5:5 and Psalm 4 that Jesus is the means by which God brings His genuine lasting peace into the world.

Christianity is often construed as restrictive or confining. But what God provided through the incarnation is nothing short of ultimate freedom for all who would accept His Messiah. Pastor Rory explains how Isaiah 9:4 and Psalm 102 underscore the reality that God is with us now accomplishing our continued deliverance by conforming us into the image of His Son through His Spirit.

If God promised that His Messiah would bring joy, but the Old Testament says that joy comes from God, that means that Jesus is God. Pastor Rory explains how Isaiah 9:3 and Psalm 16 describe the joy that God and His Messiah give. Do you know joy?

In a world where darkness closes in, God's light frees mankind from the oppression of sin and death. His unmerited grace is not a result of our goodness but His love, most clearly seen in the sending of His Son, Jesus. Pastor Nate explains from Isaiah 9:2 and Psalm 27 how the coming of God's light can change the way we live in this darkened world.

What should we expect from God when we forget Him or walk in disobedience. We might think that He would abandon us. But Pastor Rory explains from Judges 2:6-3:6 that God is actively pursuing His people and working in our circumstances to draw us back to Him even when we forget Him.

The curse leads to the regular decay and decline of everything. Even our lives can decline into unfaithfulness spiritually speaking. Pastor Rory explains how the people of Israel illustrate the steps to decline from Judges 1:22-2:5. However, even in our unfaithful decline, God's faithfulness is great. His compassion is new every morning, even when we walk from Him.
