Sermons

Compromised Obedience – We begin our time in Judges with a small introduction then considering what to learn from the partial obedience of the tribes of Israel.

Generational Faith – What is our duty as a generation coming after one? What then as a generation raising another? This message addresses our faith as it is passed on. (The Angel of the LORD study mentioned can be found here – https://vcf-panguitch.org/angelofthelord/)

Gracious Deliverer – This week we put a focus on both the continual spiral Israel will be in over the course of the book and on God’s grace filled deliverance to them. We bring this together to see a picture of the gospel in Judges.

Purpose Built – We use the story of Ehud to consider who God uses and how even the smallest, most obscure detail of our lives can matter.

Glory To God – Are we living life to build up our name or to build up God’s name?

Worthy of Praise – We use this chapter, known as Deborah’s song, to consider singing in worship and how it should rightly impact our lives. 

Powerful Presence – We use the start of Gideon’s story to contemplate what should the presence of God and the power of his Word inspire in us?

Cost of Righteousness – What is the cost of standing firm in the Lord against the world and what it values?

Faith over Fear – Gideon’s time for battle has come, but the LORD wants to make clear who has brought the victory. We consider how the LORD has brought victory into our lives and how this promise can defeat our fear.

Finish Well – How can we avoid failure after the Lord has done a great work in the lives around us?

Who Are You Following? – Before we meet our next Judge, we see the story of Gideon’s sons Abimelech and Jotham. This first half of the story causes us to stop and reflect on who it is we are following and what makes a leader.
