Deborah: More Than A Judge / More Than Her
(Judges 4:1-24) In the midst of iron chariots and twenty years of cruel oppression, where do we find hope? As we dive into the account of Deborah, Barak, and Jael, we are confronted with a cycle of rebellion and the persistent, merciful rescue of God. Today Naomi explores the tension between our doubts and God’s certain victory. Are we focusing on the enormity of the chaos, or on the God who goes before us? Join us as we look beyond the surface of this history to see how God is still calling us to surrender and reclaim our focus on Him today.
From Series: "The Book of Judges"
This series revisits key figures in the Book of Judges - Othniel, Gideon, Deborah, Jephthah, Ehud, Samson - to demonstrate how God raises imperfect people to accomplish His purposes. The stories expose human weakness, flawed leadership, surprising courage, and God’s persistent mercy despite Israel’s cycles of rebellion. Each week invites us to reflect on how God works through ordinary people in extraordinary ways, and how our own faithfulness (or unfaithfulness) shapes the communities around us.
