The Book of Judges - Week 4

Pastor Marshall Ochs | June 23, 2019

In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches through Judges 10-12. This story follows a Hebrew judge named Jephthah. He was an outcast from his family and home, but God anointed him to bring judgment on Israel’s enemies. However, Jephthah had a warped theology of God and made a foolish vow before entering into battle. This vow cost him dearly, and it reminds us to let the Bible shape our theology rather than the culture around us.

The Book of Judges - Week 3

Pastor Marshall Ochs | June 16, 2019

In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches through Judges 8-9. This story takes place after Gideon defeats the Midianites with only 300 men. Gideon began to lose sight of God, killed the elders in a nearby city, and built a golden ephod that turned into an idol. Gideon’s son, Abimelech, killed 70 of his brothers and burned the city of Shechem to the ground. These stories remind us that we must follow God in complete obedience, so we don’t drift from God at the end of our life. Gideon also reminds us of how important it is for parents to model the behavior they want to see in their children.

The Book of Judges - Week 1

Pastor Marshall Ochs | June 2, 2019

In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches through Judges 1-5. This story takes place after Israel entered the Promised Land, and Joshua died. God commanded Israel to eliminate the evil tribes inhabiting the land, but Israel decided to disobey. They built homes, planted gardens, and ignored the commandments of God. Because of this disobedience, they continually turned back to sin and cried out to God for salvation. In these five chapters, salvation came in the form of a Judge named Ehud and Deborah. As we study the scripture, reflect on how the choices of Israel mirror our choices in our Christian walk. Jesus asks us to obey Him, but we often only follow part of His commands and ignore others. This attitude of partial obedience is no obedience at all, and it leads us back to a life of hardship and slavery to sin.
