Folks… In Judges 4...God was the Deliverer! And everybody else… was simply an instrument in His hand. And that's where Judges 5 begins. Because after God gave Israel this tremendous victory… Deborah and Barak did something… Israel desperately needed to learn how to do. They remembered it! They didn't just celebrate the victory. They turned the victory… into worship. And that's where we pick up tonight.

God is bigger than all of our obstacles. Giants will come, and giants will fall. With God, we have the victory.

God is bigger than all of our obstacles. Giants will come, and giants will fall. With God, we have the victory.

Psalm 40; My Help and My Deliverer ; Keith Baldwin ; August 9, 2026 by NewBranch

 Even as Israel doubted and tested God, He responded with grace, providing water from the rock and victory over Amalek. These events point forward to Christ, the true Rock who was pierced to give life and the greater Deliverer who defeats the serpent and will bring perfect justice. Rather than testing God as Israel did, we are called to walk by faith, trusting Him in every circumstance.

Why settle for temporary freedom when Jesus offers freedom that lasts? In this message, Joel Holm walks through Judges 3 and shows how forgetting God leads us back into bondage, while remembering our Savior, fully repenting, and trusting our true Deliverer leads to lasting freedom.

Break My Chains, O Deliverer! "Suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared and a light shone in the cell. He struck Peter on the side and woke him up. “Quick, get up!” he said, and the chains fell off Peter's wrists." Acts 12:7 In the depths of our hearts, we cry out for liberation, a fervent plea steeped in the darkness of our chains. Each chain weighs heavy, wrapped around our spirits, holding us back from the radiant light God offers. We yearn for the dawn that bursts forth from our deepest night, a signal of hope, a testament of His relentless love. In the stillness of our desperation, we find that one touch from the Almighty can end years of bondage, leading us into a realm of unparalleled freedom. The story of Peter, confined in a prison with iron chains shackling his hands, echoes through time. In Acts 12:7, an angel of the Lord appears, illuminating the darkness and declaring, “Get up quickly; and the chains fell off his hands.” God's divine intervention is a powerful reminder of how swiftly He can break every cycle and every addiction that confines us. Psalm 107:14 beautifully reassures us that He “brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and broke their chains in pieces.” Psalm 23:4 says, "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me." Reflect on your own life. What chains have held you captive? Lay them before the Lord in desperation, believing that His light can strike through the shadows that cloud your soul. Allow His presence to fill the void of fear and despair, transforming your heart's cries into affirmations of faith. Embrace the truth that we are children of the Most High, meant to walk in victory and not in defeat. As we lift our voices in prophetic prayer today, let's declare: "Chains of addiction, I command you to break! Struggles that bind me, I release you into the hands of the Deliverer!" Be bold, speak your freedom into existence. And feel the chains fall away as you invite His liberating spirit into your circumstances. Amen. Nahum 1:13, "Now I will break the yoke of bondage from your neck and tear off the chains of Assyrian oppression.” Amen. Prayer for the Day!Heavenly Father, thank You for Your relentless love, for each moment of grace we receive. Light of God, flood my night; shatter iron chains and lead me beyond every gate that keeps me confined. In the powerful name of Jesus, I declare my freedom and walk forth in the fullness of Your peace. In Jesus name. Amen. https://maglife.org

The David Alliance  TDAgiantSlayer@gmail.com Garth Heckman   The Singular Seed of Promise (Sperma) In Galatians 3:16, Paul makes a massive grammatical and theological argument based on a singular noun: "The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. Scripture does not say 'and to seeds,' meaning many people, but 'and to your seed,' meaning one person, who is Christ." The Sermon Point: The Old Testament was not pointing to a demographic, but a Deliverer. The Greek Nuance: Paul uses the singular sperma. In Hebrew, zera (seed) can be collective (like "sheep" or "hair"), but Paul utilizes the Greek singular to show that the entire covenant of Abraham was funneled into a single focal point: Jesus. ONE PERSON - ONE SEED - ONE DEATH - “ONE MULTIPLICATION” = FOR ALL Application: Because we are "in Christ," we inherit the promises not by genetic pedigree, but by being joined to the ultimate Sperma. Furthermore, 1 John 3:9 says God's sperma (divine seed/DNA) now abides in us, meaning we carry the family likeness of heaven. The Hook: If you've ever stood at the base of a Giant Sequoia in California, you know it is a humbling experience. These trees can grow to be nearly 300 feet tall, 30 feet wide, and can live for over 3,000 years. They are absolute titans—so massive that a single branch can be larger than the trunk of a standard city tree. But if you were to hold the seed of a Giant Sequoia in your hand, you would be shocked. It looks like a tiny, papery flake of oatmeal. It is about a quarter of an inch long, and it weighs a fraction of a gram. It is almost weightless. If you dropped it on the ground, you would never find it. Yet, wrapped inside that microscopic, fragile speck of dust is the genetic blueprint for a giant that can withstand wildfires, outlast empires, and tower over the landscape. The Transition: "The Kingdom of God works on the exact same principle. God loves to hide massive, landscape-changing futures inside microscopic, easily overlooked packages. Today, you might feel small, unnoticed, or insignificant. But you need to understand that the power of your future is not determined by the size of your current starting point, but by the design of the Seed inside you..."

The Psalms: Prayer, Lament, Confession, Trust, and Praise In this final episode of Walking Through the Psalms, Dave Jenkins looks back over the whole Book of Psalms and considers what this inspired book teaches God's people about worship, prayer, lament, confession, trust, hope, and praise. The Psalms are not merely ancient songs. They are the prayer book of God's people. They teach us to bring the whole of life before the Lord: our joy, sorrow, fear, grief, sin, questions, and praise. Above all, the Psalms lead us to Jesus Christ, the true King, the righteous sufferer, the perfect worshiper, the good Shepherd, and the risen Lord who reigns forever. Episode Summary The Book of Psalms reveals the Lord as Creator, King, Shepherd, Judge, Redeemer, Rock, Fortress, Deliverer, and covenant-keeping God. Throughout the Psalms, God teaches His people to worship Him as He has revealed Himself in His Word, not according to human imagination. In this episode, Dave explains how the Psalms teach Christians to pray honestly and faithfully, lament with hope, confess sin and receive mercy, trust the steadfast love of the Lord, and praise God because He alone is worthy. The Psalms do not teach fake spirituality. They teach faith-filled honesty before the God who sees, hears, reigns, cares, and keeps His promises. The Psalms also expose our need for Jesus Christ. We do not pray, worship, trust, confess, or praise as we ought. That is why we need Christ, the perfect worshiper, faithful Son, true King, righteous sufferer, good Shepherd, final refuge, crucified Savior, risen Lord, and reigning King. Listen and Watch Key Scriptures Psalm 1:1–2 Psalm 42:5 Psalm 51:1–4 Psalm 150:6 2 Corinthians 1:20 1 Peter 5:7 Episode Highlights The Psalms teach us to worship the God who has revealed Himself in His Word. The Psalms teach us to bring the whole of life before God. The Psalms give words to God's people when we do not know what to pray. Biblical lament teaches us to grieve honestly while hoping in God faithfully. The Psalms teach us to confess sin and receive mercy. The Psalms steady our hearts on the steadfast love of the Lord. The Psalms lead us to Christ, the true King and righteous sufferer. The Psalms teach us that praise gets the final word for the people of God. Why This Matters Every part of life belongs before the Lord. The Psalms teach Christians to bring joy, sorrow, sin, fear, hope, and praise before God with reverence and honesty. They remind us that the Lord is near to His people, faithful to His promises, merciful to repentant sinners, and sovereign over all things. Because of Christ, the final word for the people of God will be praise. The Psalms teach us to pray, lament, confess, trust, hope, and praise the Lord until faith becomes sight and the people of God enter into everlasting worship.

In today's teaching from Exodus 15, we walk through the first song recorded in Scripture. Before God gave Israel the 10 commandments or led them into the Promised Land, He gave them a new refrain: "The Lord is my strength, my song, and has become my salvation." The song of Moses reminds us that worship isn't just expressing what we feel it's rehearsing what is true. God replaces the songs that our past, our culture, and the enemy sings over us, by becoming our strength, our song, and salvation. Like every story in Exodus it points us to Jesus, the greater Deliverer who leads us into His healing. Come and Seek the Lord With Us www.flourishinggrace.org/plan-your-visit

Gideon's story doesn't end where we might expect. After God delivers Israel through an astonishing victory, Judges 8 reveals the tragic consequences of sinful hearts, misplaced worship, and the need for a greater Deliverer.In this sermon, Pastor Jim Schultz continues our verse-by-verse study through the Book of Judges, showing how this chapter exposes the spiritual condition of both Gideon and Israel. Rather than presenting Gideon as a hero to imitate, Judges 8 reminds us that even the best human leaders fall short and that God's people desperately need a faithful King.At the same time, this passage shines a light on the steadfast grace of God. Even amid human failure, God remains faithful to His promises, pointing us forward to Jesus Christ—the perfect Savior who never fails His people.Join us as we study Judges 8 and discover why this tragic ending ultimately leads us to the hope of the gospel.

Psalm 40 showed us how perfect Jesus would be and would rely upon the Father as he navigated the true valley of the shadow of death so that we wouldn't.  And because he did that, we now can cry out to the Father in our need and know he will truly deliver us into joy and gladness and so we can rest in him now before he has delivered us.

We highlight the theological importance of the Incarnation, by pointing out that, without it, Christ could not be the Author of Salvation; the Brother who welcomes us; the Model of Faith; the Deliverer from death; or the merciful and faithful High Priest.

This week, Dudley brings us his Monthly Message, Steven's Gospel, and in it he continues the Apostolic Gospel series by examining Stephen's powerful message in Acts 7 and uncovering the core themes of the Gospel of Jesus. Through a sweeping overview of Scripture, he shows how the story of Israel finds its fulfillment in Christ and how the Kingdom of God arrived through Jesus' life, death, resurrection, and ascension.Dudley traces the biblical patterns found in figures like Abraham, Joseph, and Moses, revealing how each points to Jesus as the promised Deliverer. He also explores Stephen's bold confrontation with the religious leaders, demonstrating how the early church proclaimed the gospel with clarity, courage, and dependence on the Holy Spirit.Along the way, he challenges modern distortions such as the Prosperity Gospel and highlights why true repentance remains central to the apostolic message. Drawing from the Book of Acts and touching on themes related to the Last Days, this conversation invites believers to rediscover the gospel that transformed the first-century world—and still carries God's power to transform lives today.We pray this message will encourage, challenge, and transform.As always, we invite you to share it with someone who needs it.  Get Dudley's Weekly Word delivered right to your inbox every Friday!

Freedom Foundations | A Legacy of Faith and Freedom“We will not hide these truths from our children; we will tell the next generation about the glorious deeds of the LORD, about his power and his mighty wonders… So each generation should set its hope anew on God.”— Psalm 78:4, 7 (NLT)This Independence Day weekend, we celebrated the freedoms we enjoy as Americans while remembering that true and lasting freedom is found only in Jesus Christ. He sets us free from sin, shame, fear, and the bondage of our past, giving us new life and a living hope.Throughout Scripture, God reveals Himself as our Deliverer, breaking chains, opening doors, and leading His people into freedom. As followers of Christ, we are called to stand firm in the liberty He has given us, never take His blessings for granted, and faithfully pass our faith and hope on to the next generation.May we continue to build our lives on the foundation of God's truth, treasure the freedom we have in Christ, and leave a legacy that points others to Him!Restore Church | Yorkville, ILSunday Mornings | 10 AMJordan & Melissa Gash, Pastorshttps://www.restorechurchyorkville.com

Gideon: The Mighty Man of Valor Judges 6 Gideon begins as an unlikely deliverer whom God graciously uses, but he ends as another flawed judge who cannot ultimately save God's people.

Psalm 40

Psalm 40

Psalm 40

Paul loves Israel dearly, and wants them to know that Jesus is, in fact, their promised Messiah. In preaching about putting the law to death, he doesn't want to communicate that Israel has somehow been forgotten or rejected in the process. While not all of Israel will be saved, there will be a remnant chosen by grace. Paul turns to address the Gentiles of Rome directly to show them how important Israel is to their salvation. They, and all who are not of Jewish decent, have been grafted into Israel, which means that the roots planted and secured through Israel are what allow us to thrive and flourish in the life-giving faith that comes through submitting to Jesus, our Deliverer who comes from Zion. :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

Like the mission NASA received from President Kennedy in 1962—“put a man on the moon before the end of the decade!”—our mission as Christians is also impossible. And we simply can't do it in our own human strength. But, the key is found in realizing that He CAN do it. When we finally come to the end of ourselves and our ability (realizing that we CANNOT), then we are prepared to allow God (the only One who CAN) the position of Savior, Deliverer, and Doer of the Impossible. He desires to do it in and through us. ------------» Take these studies deeper and be discipled in person by Eric, Leslie, Nathan, and the team at Ellerslie in one of our upcoming discipleship programs – learn more at: https://ellerslie.com/be-discipled/» Receive our free “Five Keys to Walking Through Difficulty” PDF by going to: https://ellerslie.com/subscribe/» For more information about Daily Thunder and the ministry of Ellerslie Mission Society, please visit: https://ellerslie.com/daily» If you have been blessed by Ellerslie, consider partnering with the ministry by donating at: https://ellerslie.com/donate/» Discover more resources, books, and sermons from Eric Ludy by going to: https://ellerslie.com/about-eric-ludy/

There's a particular kind of exhaustion that comes not from one hard thing, but from a lifetime of hard things stacking up. If you've ever felt that weight, Psalm 18 was written for you. In this message, Pastor Steve McKenzie walks through the retrospective of an old, scarred David who looked back on decades of constriction and remembered what happened the moment he ran out of words and could only whisper one: help. What God did next is the kind of story that changes how you pray, and how you see yourself. This week on Psalms for Weary People.

The Disciples Corner

The judges of Israel delivered the people time and again from wicked foreign rulers. But Christ is a better deliverer because He saves us from sin and the evil one.

What happens when pain gets so loud that it affects your ability to hear God? This weekend, Pastor Joaquin continued our MOSES series with a message reminding us that even when pain is present, God is still speaking, still faithful, and still moving towards broken and hurting people. Exodus 6:9Moses spoke thus to the people of Israel, but they did not listen to Moses, because of their broken spirit and harsh slavery. Israel had reached a breaking point. Their suffering intensified, their hope faded, and the Bible says they could not listen “because of their broken spirit and harsh slavery.”1) Pain can affect your ability to hear God's promises.Pain has a way of distorting perspective, shrinking faith, and making God feel distant. But the good news is that God does not abandon people simply because they are struggling to hear Him clearly. Even in weakness, discouragement, and exhaustion, God continues pursuing His people.2) God speaks in the middle of suffering.While Israel focused on bricks, bondage, and survival, God was already speaking liberation, redemption, and promises over their future. God did not begin by explaining everything; He began by revealing Himself: “I am the LORD.” Their suffering was loud, but God was still in control, still faithful, and still working even when they could not see it clearly.3) Jesus is God's loudest Word.All throughout Scripture, God reveals Himself through His Word. And when God wanted to speak most clearly to humanity, He sent Jesus. The Word became flesh. Jesus is the greater Deliverer who stepped into our bondage to bring us freedom by grace. He did not come merely to inspire broken people, but to rescue enslaved people who could never save themselves. Through His death and resurrection, Jesus breaks the power of sin and brings people into true freedom and new life!Disappointment, anxiety, exhaustion, grief, or sin may have made it difficult to hear God clearly.But the good news of the gospel is this: God still speaks. God still pursues. And through Jesus Christ, freedom is still possible.

Was King Saul a type of Christ?Most Christians think of Saul as Israel's failed first king—a man marked by disobedience, pride, and eventual rejection. But before Saul's downfall, Scripture presents him as a deliverer of God's people, raising an important question: does Saul foreshadow the coming Messiah?In this episode of Shadows to Substance, Pastor George Sayour explores 1 Samuel 10–11, uncovering surprising connections between King Saul, Genesis 3:15, the theme of the promised Deliverer, and the broader biblical pattern that ultimately points to Jesus Christ. From Saul's anointing and victory over Israel's enemies to the serpent imagery surrounding Nahash the Ammonite, this study reveals how even flawed figures in the Old Testament can serve as shadows of the greater King to come.Discover how Saul's story fits into the Bible's unified message and why Jesus is the true and perfect Deliverer who succeeds where every earthly king failed.

In this episode of Don't Miss This, Dave Butler and Grace Freeman dive into the book of Judges and reframe it as a book not about judgment, but about deliverance. They explain that the Hebrew idea behind “judge” is closer to rescuer, defender, or deliverer, and throughout the book they highlight a recurring “cycle of faithfulness”: the people forget God, fall into trouble, cry for help, and God — nevertheless — raises up a deliverer again and again. The hosts emphasize how deeply this pattern reflects the mercy of God toward imperfect people and how every deliverer story ultimately points toward Jesus Christ, the Great Deliverer. The episode explores several major judges and the lessons their stories teach. Othniel reminds listeners that when people ask for help, the Lord sends strength. Ehud's story highlights how God often uses unexpected people and apparent weaknesses for powerful purposes. Deborah becomes one of the central figures of the lesson — a prophetess, encourager, and “mother in Israel” whose willingness to say “I will surely go with you” becomes a model of courage, mentorship, and faithful support. Grace reflects on the importance of people who lend faith and strength to others when they cannot move forward alone. Samson's story becomes a redemption narrative rather than simply a tragedy. Dave and Grace focus especially on the verse stating that “the hair of his head began to grow again,” teaching that even after failure and spiritual distance, strength and closeness with God can return. They emphasize that Samson's greatest moment came after his greatest mistake, illustrating that repentance can lead to even deeper faith and power than before. Gideon's story then highlights anxiety, insecurity, and learning to trust God despite fear. The hosts discuss Gideon asking repeatedly for signs, showing that faithful people can still struggle with doubt, and they connect his story to modern experiences of seeking reassurance, peace, and guidance from God. Throughout the episode, the central message remains constant: God continually raises up deliverers, works through weakness, stays patient with imperfect people, and fights beside His children even when they feel afraid, unqualified, or broken. The stories of Judges become reminders that God does not abandon His people after failure, but instead repeatedly offers rescue, encouragement, and renewed strength.
