Samson: Strength Without SurrenderSet apart from birth and blessed by the Spirit, Samson chooses what is right in his own eyes. His story warns and invites us to take God at his word, take our next step, and live in the strength of Jesus, t...

We want freedom, and we want a king. Stepping back into Judges 9, Israel’s choice to crown Abimelech shows how easily our solutions can become the source of our pain—but it also points to a better King whose justice is sure and grace meets us f...

We all worship something—and what we worship shapes us. In Jephthah’s story, we see the difference between regret and repentance, and the freedom that comes when we turn from idols to King Jesus. From Judges 10-12. 

Gideon’s story ends not in victory, but in forgetting. Even the strongest faith can sour when we stop depending on the God who gave it. From Judges 8. 

Gideon learns that true victory isn’t found in strength or numbers, but in trust—faith in the God who fights for His people. In Christ, we live from that same victory. From Judges 7.

In the lowest place, God meets Gideon in hiding and calls him by a new name: “mighty man of valor.” With the promise “I will be with you,” He invites us to tear down the idols at home and trust Him in faith. From Judges 6.

God delivers Israel through Deborah, Barak, and Jael—yet the victory is His. It leaves us asking: what happens when we step into the very thing God’s been asking of us? From Judges 4-5. 

Judges 3 tells the story of three unlikely deliverers. God works through strength, weakness, and even obscurity—but only Jesus breaks the cycle once and for all. From Judges 3:7-30.

The book of Judges picks up after Joshua’s death, with the nation of Israel set to continue in God’s promise. They seek Him, then falter. Their story serves as a wake-up call: small compromises grow, and finishing well matters more than startin...

We’re all looking for rest. But falling short and self-reliance leave us weary. In Matthew 11:25–30, Jesus offers something deeper than a break—He offers real rest. Rest for the soul, found in trusting His gentle and lowly heart.

Scripture calls singleness a gift to be embraced for the sake of God’s Kingdom. In 1 Corinthians 7, Paul shows how this gift—whether for a season or a lifetime—can be lived out with devotion to Jesus and His mission.

What does Scripture say about gender and transgenderism? This week we look at gender dysphoria, the tension between body and mind, and how the way of Jesus offers both truth and compassion. | 1 Peter 3, Genesis 1–3, Romans 7 & 12

In the second week of our teaching series on God & Sexuality, we traced God’s vision for sex and marriage from Genesis to the New Testament, examining same-sex attraction and relationships—and what it looks like to live completely surrender...

Is our view of sex shaping how we see God—or is our view of God shaping how we see sex? This week, we explore two competing stories of sexual formation—one without God, and one shaped by the way of Jesus. | 1 Thess. 4:1-5 & Romans 12:1-2

At the close of Philippians, Paul shares the secret to true contentment—not self-sufficiency, but Christ-sufficiency. He invites us to trust God’s quiet providence, confront our longings, and live with gratitude and generosity rooted in the fai...

Paul shows how the Gospel of Jesus brings real peace—even into the most anxious and conflicted parts of our lives. Through prayer, truth, and God’s presence in community, we’re formed into a people of peace. | From Phil. 4:1–9

We all carry something in our relationship to time. Regret, confusion, and fear can shape how we see where we’ve been, where we are, and where we’re headed. But in Philippians 3, Paul invites us to press on—not by rewriting our past or perfecti...

We all long for assurance—for security, worth, and control. We feel the pull to earn it through success, trying to move beyond any pain or loss. Culture even celebrates this. But in Philippians 3, Paul points us to a better way: to lose our sel...

Paul reminds us that obedience isn’t about striving harder, but about responding to the God already at work in us. As we grow in hunger for him, we take on the yoke of Jesus—becoming a people marked by obedience, innocence, and joy in a world b...

Jesus chose the downward way. Paul calls this the path to joy, where humility and unity in the way of Christ—not ambition—become the starting point of every good thing in life. From Phil. 2:1-11. 

Suffering is part of life, but Paul invites us to see it not as defeat, but as a place of surrender—to God. When we stop avoiding pain and learn to walk worthy of the gospel, hardship becomes holy ground. Joy becomes our covering, and ...

Paul is in chains, and the fear that comes with it is real. However, he doesn't see his suffering as defeat, but as holy ground—and he genuinely experiences it that way, as the gospel takes root and courage in him and the church catches fire. F...

Paul is in prison, unable to do the very thing he was called to—yet his thoughts are soaked in joy. Writing to the church in Philippi, he shows that joy begins not in circumstances but in the mind—with gratitude—deepening in the heart and matur...

As the early church grows, so do the needs—and the Apostles can’t meet them alone. In Acts 6, the community responds with Spirit-led service. And what begins as a practical solution becomes a powerful picture of the church: each person serving ...

In Acts 8, one faithful step leads Philip into a gospel moment that crosses continents, as the Spirit moves through Scripture to meet someone right where they are. This week, we explore what it means to be a Bible-saturated people—shaped by the...
