The final chapters of Judges are some of the darkest in Scripture—filled with chaos, sin, and bloodshed. Israel was lost, doing whatever seemed right in their own eyes. But in the midst of this mess, one truth stands out: we are in desperate need of a Savior. Join us as we unpack this sobering story and see how it ultimately points to Jesus—the only One who can bring true redemption and restoratio...

The Old Testament tells us many stories of the people of the times following fake and phony religions. Judges 17-18 is one of those stories and many of us have fallen into the trap that the Old Testament characters had fallen into... idolatry; wanting a god in our life but one that we can control. Spoiler alert, that's not going to work if you want to follow God. Keep listening to hear what takes...

Jesus tells us simply, that He is the resurrection and the life. Now if that is true, the question becomes, what is He resurrecting in you?! Through some pastoral pivots, Pastor Caleb Sargent gave a last minute (yet extremely needed) message from the Holy Spirit on guiding us to admit that there are things we need to let go of, things that need to be fixed and more importantly, things that need to...

No king, no peace. A nation in chaos, an outcast turned leader, and a tragic vow that should make us stop and think. Judges 10-11 isn’t just an ancient story—it’s a mirror reflecting powerful truths about who rules our lives, how God chooses the unlikely, and the dangers of thinking like the culture around us. What if Jephtah had chosen mercy instead of madness? What if we are making the same mist...

From childhood, we admire heroes—whether it’s Spider-Man, Indiana Jones, or Jack Bauer. But as we grow, we start to ask deeper questions: What truly makes a hero? What makes a fool? And where do I fit into this story? The book of Judges forces us to wrestle with these questions as we meet powerful kings, cruel gods, and unexpected leaders. Israel was destined to save the land, free the people, and...

As we dive into today's sermon, we wrestle with the question, "Why do people rebel against God?"

However, they are missing out on key information on why that's actually a good thing when it comes to Jesus! Tune in to wrestle more with this question and to ponder on what rebellion has looked li...

Samson—a man destined to bring honor to the One True God—became a figure whose choices often pointed people to false gods instead. How could someone with such a powerful calling fall so far? Yet, God still used Samson’s flawed life to protect His people and move His plan forward. What does that mean for us today? That even in our imperfection, we’re never beyond being part of God’s story. Join us...

In this message, we delve into the tragic story of Samson, focusing on Judges 16:4-22, where he loses everything by falling under the influence of Delilah.

The sermon warns us of how love for the wrong things—materialism, lust, and deceit—can clou...

In Week 3 of our series on the story of Samson, we dive into how this mighty man, called by God to lead Israel, ultimately fell short of his purpose.

Despite his incredible physical power, Samson was, in reality, the weakest strong man in the Bible....

In this week's message, we're diving into the story of Samson from Judges 14 and 15. Samson's life was full of potential, but he craved more than what God intended for him.
