Judges

Breaking the Cycle

This Can’t Get Any Worse, Can It?

February 13, 2022 • Pastor Blair Allen • Judges 17—21

We conclude our “Breaking the Cycle” series in Judges by looking at what a culture looks like when God is abandoned and how we so often redefine God to suit what we want rather than worship Him as He is.

Missing Piece = Missing Peace

February 6, 2022 • Pastor Murray Lutzer • Judges 16

In this message, we look at Samson’s life from Judges 16. Samson had a missing piece in his life, which equals missing peace with God. Samson was physically strong, but had a very weak relationship with God. We will watch Samson's physical strength be taken from him, then we will see how his relationship with God became strong right before he dies.

Jesus is the Better Samson

January 30, 2022 • Pastor Blair Allen • Judges 13—15

In this message, we look at the life of Samson. Although well-known, the man himself remains a mystery. In four chapters, the writer tells us about Samson's rise and fall. It’s a story rich in human drama—full of love and sex and intrigue and violence and passion and strange twists of fate.

Ramen, God, and Everything Else

January 23, 2022 • Pastor Blair Allen • Judges 10—12

In this message, we look at Judges 10-12 and a judge named Jephthah. This story about Jephthah is a picture of a life built upon a little of God, a little of idols, and a life shaped by culture rather than the Word of God... and it doesn’t turn out well. How do we navigate culture without being swallowed by it? This is what we will look at in this message.

When a Good Thing Goes Bad

January 9, 2022 • Pastor Blair Allen

In this message, we cover a lot of ground by looking at chapters 7-8 of Judges. In these chapters we see once again the faithfulness of God and the dangers that can come from success.

Putting Out a Fleece

January 2, 2022 • Pastor Blair Allen • Judges 6:33–40

The expression "putting out a fleece" comes from this passage in Judges 6:33-40 where Gideon requests God’s guarantee of victory through two tests. We are going to look at this idea of putting out a fleece and discover what is going on here and what this means for us today.

Jesus + Nothing = Everything

November 28, 2021 • Pastor Blair Allen • Judges 6:1–27

In this message, we are looking at Judges 6:1-27 and how God provides a prophet to His people to teach them a valuable lesson: You can’t do battle with the enemies outside you until you have gone to war with the enemies within you.

Nailed It

November 21, 2021 • Pastor Blair Allen • Judges 4, Judges 5

Today we look at Judges 4 & 5 and discover that God often uses unlikely people and uncommon means to accomplish His purposes and fulfill His promises to His glory alone.

The Left Hand of Weakness

November 14, 2021 • Pastor Blair Allen • Judges 3

This week we’re looking at one of the craziest stories and how this story shows us: If dependance on God is the objective, then weakness is the advantage.

Oops, We Did It Again!

November 7, 2021 • Pastor Blair Allen • Judges 1, Judges 2

We begin our series in the Biblical book of Judges with Chapters 1-2 where we see the devastating costs of compromise in the life of the Israelites. Rather than uncompromising faith and obedience to the Lord, they chose compromise and unbelief. All sin starts with a failure of belief.
