Othniel: The Comeback Judge
(Judges 1-3:11) The Book of Judges is a messy, violent cycle of human failure—hardly where we expect to find role models. Yet, in the story of Othniel, we discover the "Comeback Judge." Are you stuck wishing things were how they used to be, or are your arms free to embrace what God is doing today? Join us as we explore why your contribution isn’t over and how the Spirit empowers us for what God currently has for us.

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.
