Description: Many Christians have only a limited knowledge of this most wonderful gift that God has given to His children: prayer. Because the power of prayer is misunderstood it to often goes unused. Today’s message on prayer is intended to educate and encourage us to follow the Biblical instructions on the use of this marvelous gift.

Description: Judges 19-21 covers the disturbing story of the complete canaanization of Israel. It’s a story that involves homosexuality, rape, murder, and dismemberment. It is perhaps the most disturbing story in all of Scripture.

Description: Judges 18 tells the story of how the Tribe of Dan became an epicenter for cultic worship. This is not an isolated story, but a snapshot in time illustrating the moral degeneration of Israel and the effects of sin.

Description: Judges 17 tells us of an Ephraimite named Micah whose way of life is indicative of the Israelites during this time in redemptive history. Micah steals from his own mother, fashions an idol and implements of worship, starts his own cult, hires his own priest, and somehow thinks that God will honor him and hear his prayers.

Description: Some folks would be surprised to find something about Jesus in the Old Testament. This message from Numbers chapter 21 speaks the truth of salvation so clearly thru Jesus that even and unsaved person should be able to read it and understand. It’s all about lifting up Jesus.
Description: The Lord has left Samson, and now Samson finds himself imprisoned, blinded, and in the most miserable state of his life. It is in these dark places where God can get our attention. We find out through Samson that a man can never be too far from the grace of God.
Description: Samson reveals his heart to the Philistine woman, Delilah, and God removes Samson’s strength. Samson is captured by the Philistines, his eyes are gouged out, and he is enslaved.
Description: God has built into mankind a void that people desire to fill. Many try to satisfy that need with what they believe to be a relationship with God. The majority of people in the United states would refer to themselves as being religious. The father of lies, Satan, is well aware of man’s emptiness and has many false religions to meet that need. Today we are going to see in the Book of James the clear difference between superficial religion and supernatural religion. At the conclusion of the message, the listener is challenged to do a self test. It’s a chance to see if you indeed are a born again Christian.
Description: Judges Chapter 15 is a back and forth battle between Samson and the Philistines. Ultimately it ends showing us an imperfect judge who cannot completely deliver his people because he needs rescue himself.
Description: Samson travels to Timnah and along the way is attacked by a lion that he kills with his bare hands, mightily empowered by God. On a later journey, this time to marry his chosen Philistine girl, Samson finds the lion carcass housing a swarm of bees and full of honey. He later uses this encounter as the basis of a riddle to the 30 Philistine men at his wedding party. No one could ever solve Samson’s riddle…that is unless they cheat!
Description: At 147 years of age, old Jacob of the book of Genesis had a departing lesson for his grandsons. It is without a doubt the greatest truth that can be given to the following generations.
Description: God sends the three judges Ibzan, Elon, and Abdon to judge Israel for 25 years and Israel doesn’t have any recorded battles or oppression (time of peace). Then God raises up the Philistines against them and they oppress the Israelites for 40 years. God then promises to deliver these unfaithful people and announces the coming baby who will save them.
Description: After Jephthah’s defeat of the Ammonites and the wicked sacrifice of his own daughter, his troubles are not over. He is rebuked by the Ephraimites and ends up fighting against them and over 40,000 Ephraimites die. Israelite killing Israelite.
With all of the sinfulness and tragedy in the life of Jephthah, the book of Judges is not the only place we see mention of his name. Jephthah surprisingly is listed in the “Hall of Faith” in Hebrews 11. We explore how Jephthah might have “made the cut”.
Description: The Judge Jephthah was a man who was despised and rejected by his brethren but who ended up saving them from the hand of the Ammonites. Yet even as God used him, he did an unthinkable act and sacrificed his daughter to God…a sacrifice that God didn’t want and certainly didn’t approve of.
Description: Judges 10 begins with the accounts of two minor judges, Tola and Jair who bring about over 40 years of peace. But the author of Judges tells us that this time of peace resulted in an incredible period of apostasy and idolatry.
