What kinds of people does God use to do His work in the world? To kickoff our mini-series in the book of Judges, we'll look at a couple of unlikely heroes and discuss what God does with our imperfect acts of obedience in the midst of trials.

Mountaintops
August 13, 2023 • Seth Bartal • Psalm 120:6–7, Psalm 124:2–5, Psalm 125:1–2, Psalm 134, Psalm 120:1–2
Sometimes mountaintops don't meet our expectations. When we finally get where we were planning to go and what we worked hard at doing, sometimes the expectation of what it would be like doesn't quite match the actual experience. What do we do when we arrive at our mountaintop - disappointed that it wasn’t quite what we expected? The answer may surprise you.
Disqualified: The Competition
August 6, 2023 • James Lenhoff • Matthew 9
The human experience so often feels like a competition. We compare ourselves with others and constantly use certain lenses to disqualify ourselves, or justify ourselves by disqualifying others. We will learn how the same four lenses we tend to use today have always been in use, even in Jesus' day. We will learn how to overcome those lenses in order to finally break free from the competition, and move to invitation instead.

July 30, 2023 • David Wheatley • Judges
In our third and final week in the book of Judges, we wrestle with one of the most difficult stories in the Old Testament, the story of Jepthah. What happens when what we believe doesn't actually correspond with God's Word? A tragic tail that points to both God's justice and His mercy.
