In judges 4, the woman Deborah holds the offices of both prophetess and judge. What can we learn from God's chosen leaders?

Israel knew they needed a savior, but they constantly and consistently forgot about God delivering them from their enemies. How does God work Israel's suffering for His own glory? Learn how as we talk about the first 3 judges to rule over Israel.

We see time and time again that God's people witness His power, only to turn away from Him after forgetting about it. These rhythms of rebellion are not exclusive to Israel, but are something that we deal with on a daily basis. The only cure is Jesus.

God is the only constant in the chaos of the Old Testament. God's people are stuck in a cycle of forgetting and forsaking The Lord, yet God remains faithful in spite of their weakness.

If you are close to God, you will experience pain. But it is what we do in spite of that pain that can make or break our prophetic witness.

God's plan for our lives involves intentional, reverent rest. If our success is based on our performance, then our spiritual walk is like a tree with shallow roots.

God's plan for His church doesn't involve building walls around it, but rather to go forth to all nations and share the Gospel and make disciples, and prayer is what prepares us for that work.

Jeremiah comes to God accusing Him of distancing Himself from him, all the while God is saying that it was Israel that turned to other things and brought their own suffering upon themselves.

Jeremiah knew that his hands were not clean. He prayed in a way that mourned for the sin inflicted against God and simultaneously set his hope on God alone.

If God is sovereign, then it changes the way we view our interactions with Him. It will change our prayer life in a way that honors Him and makes much of Him.
