SCRIPTURE: Judges 6:36-40
On Saturday, October 18, 2026, Resurrection Life Church celebrated its Twelfth Anniversary! This week, we celebrate by continuing through our sermon series called Straight Line, Crooked Sticks. We look at Gideon. He’s not the ideal leader, but God uses him anyway. He’s not the bravest. He has his doubts. He hesitates, and he tests God. He does a lot wrong, and yet God displays faithfulness to Gideon and to His Beloved tribe. So get out your fleece, not to test God, but to get comfortable with our cooler temperatures and hear about God's amazing grace despite our unbelief.

STRAIGHT LINE, CROOKED STICKS: Deborah: Elements of Surprise

SCRIPTURE: Judges 4 - 5.
This week, we focus on two dramatic scenes from Judges 4-5. These two chapters work in tandem, dramatically telling the same story through prose (ch. 4) and poetry (ch. 5).
The first scene consists of a complicated relationship between Deborah (the Judge) and Barak (the Commander). We will spend time focusing on their relationship and how God uses surprising means (and people!) to ensure the deliverance of His Beloved people from slavery.
The second scene consists of another complicated (to say the least) relationship between Jael (the Assassin) and Sisera (the Enemy Commander). Jael serves as God's weapon against the enemy with another dramatic assassination story. Again, God uses the most unexpected person—a Gentile woman—to kill the commanding officer of the enemy.
Our sermon series, "Straight lines, Crooked Sticks," takes on new meaning as we dive into this memorable story. The sermon really could build on that... "Straight line with a Straight Peg!" And if you don't know what I mean, listen closely, and you'll find out!
In Christ, Pastor Mark
