[Sunday] Judge Deborah - His Eyes The Book of Judges
When Israel strays, a ruthless warlord named Sisera emerges, leaving a trail of terror. But hope flickers in the unlikeliest places: God raises up a prophetess named Deborah and a seemingly ordinary woman, Jael, who, together, hold the key to a surprising, victory-clinching act.

QUESTIONS FOR THE WEEK: His Eyes: The Book of Judges - Judge Deborah
Describe a time when someone surprised you by doing a great thing when you didn’t expect much from them.
Read Judges 4 and 5. How does God deliver His people in an unlikely way?
We can see that God is working through the weak and unexpected. Can you think of a time in your own life when you felt weak or unqualified, yet God used you in a surprising way? How can we be more open to seeing God working in unexpected ways?
We see that God's victory is already secure through Jesus. How can this concept change the way we approach challenges and relationships in our lives?

[Sunday] Ehud Left - His Eyes The Book of Judges
This week's judges cycle: we meet Ehud, the crippled lefty who reminds us that God's power shines brightest in weakness.
This week's judges cycle: we meet Ehud, the crippled lefty who reminds us that God's power shines brightest in weakness.
QUESTIONS FOR THE WEEK: His Eyes: The Book of Judges - Indistinguishable
There is a consistent cycle in the book of Judges - rebellion, oppression, and then deliverance. Have you ever experienced a similar cycle in your own life? How can we break free from this cycle?
Read Judges Chapter 3. We see how God uses a seemingly weak and “left-handed” person, Ehud, as a judge. What are some of the ways we define strength today? How does the story of Ehud challenge these definitions?
We often try to hide our weaknesses. Can you share a time when you felt weak or vulnerable? How did you deal with it?
Read 2 Corinthians 12:1-10. Connect the story of Ehud to the concept of God’s power being made perfect in weakness. What does this concept mean to you? Can you think of any other examples from the Bible or your own life that illustrate this concept?

[Sunday] Indistinguishable - His Eyes The Book of Judges
The book of Judges isn't a straight line but a cycle. Redemption and rebellion echo, reminding us how easily we stray. Prepare to see yourselves in the Israelites' struggles, becoming indistinguishable to the culture around us.

QUESTIONS FOR THE WEEK: His Eyes: The Book of Judges - Indistinguishable
Read Judges 2:6-23. The book of Judges talks about a cycle the Israelites fall into. Can you identify the different stages of this cycle? How does this cycle relate to our own lives and the challenges we face?
The sermon mentions how easy it is to become indistinguishable from the culture around us. What are some ways this can happen in your daily life? How can we stay true to our values even when pressured to conform?
What does Jesus offer us that the judges in the book of Judges could not? How can faith in Jesus help us break free from cycles of sin and self-destruction?
Do you see living among non-believers as a problem, a possibility, or both? How can you live a good life among non-believers today?

His Eyes - The Book of Judges
In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes. But they are never far from His eyes.

[Sunday] Easter Peace - Comfort Comfort
Even with the glorious news of Christ's resurrection, the disciples remained hidden, burdened by their actions. Yet, Christ arrives, a beacon of hope and unreserved comfort, offering peace in the midst of their doubt.

QUESTIONS FOR THE WEEK: Comfort Comfort: Easter Peace
Can you think of a time you hid from something difficult? What was it, and how did you eventually move forward?
Read John 20:1-23. The disciples were hiding after the resurrection. Why do you think they might be hiding, even though they know Jesus has risen?
Jesus shows up not hiding anything, leading with his wounds. How does the concept of Jesus’ sacrifice and his wounds change the way you view forgiveness and comfort that comes from Jesus?
Jesus encourages us to forgive others. Filled with the Spirit of Christ, how can you bring that peace and forgiveness to others?

[Sunday] Hosanna - Comfort Comfort
As Palm Sunday dawns, confusion swirls around Jesus' identity and mission. Jesus' final prayer is a plea for God's continued protection and unity amidst His followers' trials. This all foreshadows the sacrifice that will ultimately bring oneness through His resurrection.
