Lee shares from Judges in the first week of our teaching series 'Jesus and Judges'.

In these chapters of Judges, we watch Israel fall into the same covenant pattern again and again—forgetting the Lord, turning to the world, and then crying out when the weight of their choices becomes unbearable. And each time, God raises a deliverer they did not expect: Deborah, a prophetess; Gideon, the least in his father's house; Samson, consecrated from birth yet wrestling with his own weakness.These stories reveal the living pattern of how God works with His people in every generation. He remembers His covenants even when His people forget theirs. He raises deliverers long before the crisis appears. And He calls individuals who feel inadequate, overlooked, or unprepared—because His strength is made perfect in weakness.I testify that the God who delivered Israel in the days of Deborah, Gideon, and Samson is the same living God who delivers His people today. I know by direct experience that He still calls, He still speaks, and He still raises servants to declare His word and prepare His people for what lies ahead.I pray that the Holy Spirit will open your understanding as you study these chapters. There is a pattern here for our time, and a message the Lord is still speaking to all who have ears to hear.I testify that Jesus Christ is our Lord, Savior, and King. He is Alive Today!In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.D. Todd HarrisonApostle of Jesus ChristCalled directly by Him

God's Mercy With Gideon's Doubt by Autumn Dickson The book of Judges records a time period in which Israel had no centralized prophet. There was apostasy and partial restorations as the Israelites would sway into worshipping like the Canaanites did. The Lord sometimes sent judges to help Israel against their enemies. These judges were charismatic, military leaders. Some of the judges would save all of Israel; other judges were more regional. Gideon was one of these regional judges, primarily protecting Manasseh, Asher, Zebulun, Naphtali, and Ephraim. Gideon is interesting because he struggled with his faith in the Lord, and yet, the Lord was merciful. There are plenty of instances in the scriptures where the Lord doesn't seem to respond to that very well. Right after the Red Sea parted, the Israelites demanded a sign of Moses to show his favor with God. They were complaining and challenging Moses to show a sign. The place was named Massah as a memorial to their lack of faith. When Zechariah was told that his wife would have a son, he didn't believe it because she was old. He was struck as a mute. Thomas the apostle was likewise rebuked for his lack of faith. Gideon receives not just one, but multiple signs from the Lord. The angel burns up his offering to the Lord. His blanket is covered with dew while the ground is dry one night; his blanket is dry while the ground is wet one night. As he stands in the camp with his 300 men to go against the Midianites, the Lord encourages him to go spy on the Midianites and see what they're saying in order to receive comfort. He does so and overhears a Midianite sharing a dream in which a barley loaf came and flattened a tent. The Midianite's companion interprets it as God helping Israel defeat them. Here is Gideon's response. Judges 7:15 And it was so, when Gideon heard the telling of the dream, and the interpretation thereof, that he worshipped, and returned into the host of Israel, and said, Arise; for the Lord hath delivered into your hand the host of Midian. Multiple signs! God continually blesses Gideon and gives him signs to encourage him along. In fact, Gideon didn't even ask for the last sign. The Lord just gave it to him, and He gave it to Gideon in a powerful way. It would have been one thing to send a dream to Gideon about defeating the Midianites. It would have been easy for Gideon to wonder if it was just wishful thinking. In comparison, hearing the mighty Midianites have a dream and interpret it as defeat by the Israelites was much more powerful in calming Gideon's fears. So why did Gideon get multiple signs while others seem to be rebuked for asking for the same thing? I think there are a lot of reasons because the Lord works according to individual circumstances, but I want to talk about two potential reasons that can be applied in our own lives as we work to approach the Lord. The first reason the Lord was willing to work with Gideon is because the Lord is wise enough to understand that Gideon didn't have much of a relationship with the Lord. The fact that his father had a Baal altar implies that Gideon's family had fallen into idolatry. How much did Gideon know about God? We know Gideon had some knowledge of God because he asks about the deliverance from Egypt, but how much had Gideon experienced God? There's a difference. How much could the Lord reasonably expect Gideon to trust Him? The Lord knew Gideon, but did Gideon know the Lord? The Lord isn't looking for blind, obedient dogs. He is looking to have a true relationship with us. The fact that Gideon was cautious about running into danger isn't a sign that Gideon is faithless; it is more an indication that Gideon did not yet know the Lord. So what does this teach us about our own lives? The Lord will not begrudge us the time it takes to learn how to trust Him; He doesn't mind allowing us to approach Him until we've built up a number of encounters and start to understand His character. David fought off two wild animals before he fought off Goliath. We recently read about Moses whose trust in the Lord was extremely fragile in the beginning; Moses grew to the point where he encouraged the Israelites to have faith in the face of certain death even though he did not yet know the plan for rescue. The Old Testament gives us a front row seat to watching people experience the Lord and grow in their trust of Him. In contrast, imagine a powerful stranger coming up to you and saying, “Trust me.” When you ask them why you should trust them, they respond with, “Because I told you to.” Um…what? You may not immediately hate them or be wary of them, but you're not going to give them your darkest secrets or social security number (or hopefully you won't…). The Lord understands that He is a stranger to us; He is the one who put the veil there. He understands that we need experiences with Him before we're ready to run into danger when He asks. Once again, He isn't looking for blind, obedient dogs. He wants His children to be wise and consciously and voluntarily choose Him. He gave Gideon experiences because Gideon likely hadn't had many previously. He was patient with Israel. He was patient with Moses. The Lord has no problem being patient. If He seems impatient in specific scenarios, we can usually assume it's for the benefit of the person He is working with. He is trying to get their attention or get them moving. Which leads me to my second reason: The Lord allowed Gideon to approach Him multiple times for signs because Gideon's heart was soft. Over and over and over and over and over we read about the Lord responding with intensity in response to a hard heart and responding with mercy and encouragement to a soft heart. Gideon's heart was obviously soft. Look at this verse. Judges 6:17 And he said unto him, If now I have found grace in thy sight, then shew me a sign that thou talkest with me. Gideon approaches the Lord so humbly. When the angel gave him a sign, Gideon immediately built an altar unto the Lord. That night, Gideon went and took down the altar of Baal according to the direction of the Lord. We see this multiple times with Gideon. He approaches the Lord in humility and asks for help knowing the truth. Gideon was willing to follow the truth and power and peace; Gideon was just trying to make sure he was looking in the right direction before moving forward. It is only when we've closed our heart off to that truth and power and peace that the Lord shakes the earth to reach us. I think of the Egyptians that saw all the same signs as the Israelites but didn't bother to ask whether they should follow after the same God as the Israelites. I think of Rahab and her people. The Canaanites were all terrified, but it didn't change who they put their faith in. Only Rahab was willing to follow the Israelite God and was spared because of it. You would think that people would open their eyes and ask, “Is there something here?” You would think that they would pause long enough and open their hearts so that the Lord could speak to them. Gideon asked, but Gideon was likewise prepared to follow through. This was part of why the Lord was so willing to encourage him along. I testify of a Lord that responds with wisdom. He knows what He is doing. He will not condemn us for approaching Him for reassurances if we're doing so with the intent to follow after Him. He doesn't even condemn us when we struggle; His intensity is not a sign of condemnation. It's a sign of God's love in trying to reach us! However the Lord is working in your life, you can take it with the perspective that He is trying to do what's best for you. I'm grateful for a Lord who is wise and can train me so purposefully and deliberately. Autumn Dickson was born and raised in a small town in Texas.

Raising the world up, instead of sinking down with the world

What Does it Mean to be a Prophetess? by Autumn Dickson In a day and age where many are curious as to why women can't hold specific positions in the church or be ordained to priesthood offices, reading about Deborah the prophetess can be confusing. Here is a verse that describes her as a prophetess. Judges 4:4 And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, she judged Israel at that time. If Deborah can be a prophetess, can we have a prophetess in our day? What does it even mean that she was a prophetess and what are the implications for women in the latter days? I think it's important to note that I'm not an official representative of the church. However, I'd like to share some of my own perspectives and interpretations surrounding Deborah and what it means as a female Latter-day Saint. But first, some context. Judges is a book of scripture that describes the time period when Israel had no king. Joshua, the prophet after Moses, died, and there was no prophet that directly succeeded him. We don't know exactly how long it took before the Lord called another centralized prophet (Samuel), but educated guesses suggest 300-450 years. As a society, they had the Law of Moses, and the government could be described as a tribal confederation. Despite having a law given unto them from God, they often fell in with Canaanites and found themselves in varying levels of apostasy. Sometimes, in response to the Israelites finding themselves in trouble, the Lord would send a “judge.” The way that we define “judge” is not necessarily accurate in this particular book of scripture. In this context, a judge was a charismatic military leader that would help Israel. There were some major judges such as Samson; there were other minor judges that would help regions rather than the entire nation of Israel. So who was Deborah? Deborah was one of the major judges sent by God to help Israel. She was a judge in every sense of the word. She was a military leader, but people also literally went to her for guidance to settle their problems. She was also a spiritual leader over the nation of Israel. Was she a prophet? The scriptures describe her as a prophetess, and she led all of Israel politically and spiritually. But was she a prophet in the way that we define “prophet” in our day? At this point, I think it's important to clarify what it means to have a prophet. Definition One. The way that we usually define “prophet” in our church in the Latter-days is unique. It's not just someone who studies the scriptures and knows them really well. It's not just someone who receives revelation. When Latter-day Saints speak of prophets, we are often describing the man who has the authority to speak for God on behalf of the entire church. He is the only one with spiritual jurisdiction to lead (under Christ) the church. He holds all of the priesthood keys. And yes, he is a male. We don't know if that will ever change. I don't know if it's doctrine that means this particular role will always be male, or if someday the Lord will use His unchanging love and wisdom to adapt His church according to circumstances as He has throughout the course of history. But there is also a broader definition of this term, “prophet.” Definition two. Anyone can have the spirit of prophecy which is defined as a “testimony of Christ.” We know that Jerusalem had centralized prophets in ancient times as well as lesser “prophets” who would also be sent by the Lord to teach and call upon people to repent. I am not a prophet in the sense that I hold all the priesthood keys or can define doctrine on behalf of the Lord for the entire church. However, I have come to view myself as a prophetess within my own family. Beside my husband, I lead our home. I receive revelation on behalf of our kids and what we need to do. I learn the will of the Lord for our family. I fulfill so many of the “prophetic” responsibilities often associated with prophets; I simply do it within the context of my own family. Most importantly, I am a witness of Christ to my family. What kind of prophetess was Deborah? With the information we've been given, I feel pretty safe assuming she was the second kind of prophet. The Lord had declared that priesthood responsibilities would go through male descendants of Aaron and the tribe of Levi. Deborah was not ordained nor did she hold any keys. So Deborah was a prophetess but not necessarily how we often define it in our day. Perhaps there are some who are disappointed by this news. Perhaps there are some who hoped that because Deborah was a prophetess, we could have one in our day. Perhaps there are some who cling to the idea that things will change and long for the day to see a prophetess lead the church. I don't know whether that will be a thing. If anyone has any insight into that particular doctrine, feel free to comment. But as far as I know, we don't know. Here's what I do know. Deborah doesn't need to be disappointing. In fact, if we understand her properly, we should be exultant. If we understand what the Lord would like to bestow upon His daughters and His sons, then we would hold no fear. Deborah is excellent proof of what the Lord would have all of us do. Deborah may not have been a prophetess in the modern sense of the word, but guys! She was still a prophetess! She was a national leader, and people followed her. She changed Israel. She made a difference. She has been regarded with respect by millions who learned about her generation after generation. And she didn't need the priesthood keys to do it. The Lord is wonderful and wise and set up a priesthood organization with offices and keys. I know that can be a painful sticking point for some. I understand that. I'm personally grateful for this organization, but I can simultaneously understand why it's painful. But that's not really my point today. My point is that you have all that you need to become everything God wants you to become, and He has much more in mind for you than you have for yourself. This has implications for men too. About 3-5% of men will hold priesthood keys at any given time in the church. That number jumps to 10-20% of men who will hold priesthood keys at some point in their lifetime. BUT YOU DON'T NEED KEYS TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE AND CHANGE THE WORLD. No one came to Deborah and ordained her as a prophetess. The bible doesn't tell us how she rose to that role, but I have my guesses as to how it happened. It happened because she was a faithful daughter of God who chose to follow the Lord wherever He chose to lead her. Following the Lord and handing your life over to Him in faith (female or male) does not mean you will be recorded for people to pore over your life story for generations to come. It doesn't mean you'll be famous or even particularly loud. But if that's what you're looking for, then you're in the wrong place anyway. I love the example of Deborah, if for no other reason than her story means that I can be a powerful tool for the Lord regardless of what mankind recognizes in me. Regardless of whatever official roles I've been given, I could part seas or change lives. Really what it comes down to is what the Lord wants for me and what He's trying to teach me. Having enough power to change the world isn't really the question here; the Lord will give me everything I need. The true question is whether I will give my life over to Him in whatever capacity He asks. I have as well as I can, and I love my life. I testify that we have everything we need to do everything the Lord wants us to do and become everything He wants us to become. I likewise testify that He has much more in mind for you than you have for yourself. If you (female or male) feel left out because you can't be or aren't a bishop, then hold tight. The Lord has much bigger plans for you. He loves you so much. You are so important to Him. It would be silly to ask more from Him when He already plans on giving you everything that He has.

As I study the Old Testament something comes to me over and over again. When Jesus said, “Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me,” he was sending the people to the Old Testament to find Him. When Lehi opened the Plates of Brass for the first time and searched them from the beginning (see 1 Nephi 5:10) and then he “was filled with the Spirit, and began to prophesy concerning his seed (see 1 Nephi 5:17) he was immersed in the Old Testament. When Nephi says, “For my soul delighteth in the scriptures and my heart pondereth them…” he was talking about the Old Testament. When Ammon, Aaron, Omner and Himni converted seven cities of the Lamanites and brought untold thousands to the Savior, they were using only the Old Testament in their teaching! What a treasure we have in the Old Testament!

And he said, “I brought you up from Egypt and brought you into the land that I swore to give to your fathers. I said, ‘I will never break my covenant with you, [2] and you shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land; you shall break down their altars.’ But you have not obeyed my voice. What is this you have done? [3] So now I say, I will not drive them out before you, but they shall become thorns in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare to you.” [4] As soon as the angel of the LORD spoke these words to all the people of Israel, the people lifted up their voices and wept.

Welcome to the book of Judges! Fr. Mike foreshadows the events of Judges, and the cycle of disobedience we'll continue to see Israel go through. He also gives some context on the book of Ruth, and how we can find grace within the frustrating moments of Scripture. Today's readings are Judges 1-3, Ruth 1, and Psalm 133.

Passing the Torch, Judges 2,6-13; Psalms 78,1-42 by Pastor David Goodson

In Judges chapters 2–5, Israel repeatedly turns away from God, but He raises up judges to deliver them from their enemies, including Deborah and Barak, who lead Israel to victory and praise God in song.Read the WHOLE Bible with me!

The softness of God's heart, the gentleness of His temper, and the generous grace He offers are unmatched! There are no other so-called “gods” that offer and or can even guarantee what Jesus does! There are no other people who have even come close to living a perfect life as Jesus Christ did.  In today's message, Pastor Mark will highlight God's consideration and love. While you were stuck in your sin, while you were constantly denying God, He still pursued you…And He will continue to pursue you! Even through your rebellion, God shows His character by loving you unconditionally!

You've probably heard that we're made in the image of God; you can see that in Genesis 1, but what does that really mean? What does it mean, and what all does it entail for you and me to be made in the image of God? In today's message, Pastor Mark will share the ins and outs of being created in the image of God. Image can also mean likeness. So, we're also made in the likeness of God. That means we have the same tendencies, possibly the same passions, and we have the same emotions. What makes God sovereign is that He is all-knowing, so His choices and emotions are perfectly just and perfectly timed!

Striving for Revival – Judges 2 (C) - 03/09/2026

Confession and repentance are admitting to sin. A large number of people's sin is that they give in to temptations… but confessing and repenting won't change their desires; it only brings them to the light. Acknowledging the sin and desires in our lives is the first step to real life transformation! In today's message, Pastor Mark will teach on the biblical steps of heart transformation and life change. You must take action in removing yourself from your temptations and towards Jesus to have real change! The answer isn't trying really hard not to sin, it's being so close to Jesus you have no want to sin!

Striving for Revival – Judges 2 (B) - 03/06/2026

If we're not concerned with the influence we have on our children, or the influence the church has on our children, they will be influenced by the world. We obviously don't want that! We must be intentional about living biblical lives that teach our children first-hand who Jesus is and what He can do!! In today's message, Pastor Mark will encourage you to be deliberate about loving like Jesus, reading your Bible, and praying. When you do all this, you can teach your children, by your actions, to do the same! Then there will be no room or miscommunication for the world to tell them any lies!
