Don’t Miss Your Deliverance
By: Curtis Crawford
Series: Judges
When Samson began to deliver the nation of Israel from the tyranny of the Philistines, the enemy pushed back. They commanded Israel to turn over Samson because of what he had done to them. Instead of Israel defending Samson and supporting the only person to rise up against the Philistines in 40 years, they sent an army of 3000 men to arrest him. They even told Samson, "Do you not know that the Philistines rule over us?" They didn't recognize Samson as the person God has chosen to deliver them. In this message, we look at the enemies in our lives, why they are there, and how God can remove them.

Oct 10, 2016Godly Parenting in a Fallen WorldBy: Curtis CrawfordSeries: JudgesIn Judges 13, we meet Samson's parents and the circumstances around his birth. It is easy to skip over them and move quickly into the exciting exploits and the disappointing mistakes of Samson, but I believe if we look close we can learn something from his mom and dad. They teach us, in the most subtle of ways, how to raise children in a fallen world.

Sep 25, 2016A Legacy of JealousyBy: Curtis CrawfordSeries: JudgesJealousy living in the heart of someone will cause bitterness, misery, and destruction in their life. Jealousy exerts control over our feelings, our choices, and our words. The Bible teaches us that jealousy is the result of worldly and demonic wisdom. But the good news is, it also shows us that the way to battle jealousy is to ask God to give us His wisdom. In this message we look at the sin of jealousy and how to overcome it.

Sep 18, 2016The Daughter of JephthahBy: Curtis CrawfordSeries: JudgesThe Bible doesn't even record the name of Jephthah's daughter. Many who speak on her focus on her father and his rash vow before God. If we look close, however, there is a lesson we can learn from her, which can change our lives and our relationship with God in a dramatic way. A lesson our world and the church needs more than ever; what it means to fear God.

Sep 4, 2016Rejected by The World, Chosen by GodBy: Curtis CrawfordSeries: JudgesHave you ever experienced the sting of rejection? Perhaps by a parent or sibling? Maybe a spouse or close friend? If you live on earth you've most likely experienced rejection at least once and I think we can all agree being rejected hurts. In this message we look at a judge who was rejected by his family and his countrymen, through no fault of his own, but God turned his life around and used him in a mighty way. The world may have rejected you, but God has chosen you!

Aug 28, 2016The Judge of StuffBy: Curtis CrawfordSeries: JudgesThe judge Jair was known for his 30 sons, 30 donkeys, and 30 cities named after him. He spent 22 years as judge accumulating prosperity, wealth, and prestige, but what did he do with it? In this message we examine this judge of stuff and ask ourselves the question, "Do I value the world over God's purpose?"
- Aug 21, 2016The Judge of Just Enough
Aug 21, 2016The Judge of Just EnoughBy: Curtis CrawfordSeries: JudgesIn Judges 10:1,2, we find Tola, a judge over Israel, who didn't do anything remarkable or notable. He did just enough to keep the peace in Israel and nothing more. This judge should cause us to ask ourselves, "Do we want to be everything that God wants us to be? Or, are we content to just manage, to just get by, to simply coast through our Christian walk?" God wants all of us; our life, our will, and our destiny. Without surrendering those to Him, we can never be more than just enough.

Aug 14, 2016King MeBy: Curtis CrawfordSeries: JudgesIn this message, we look at the selfish ambition of Abimelech to become king of Israel and how his attitude can find its way into our lives if we are not careful. We desire to become king of our own little world in an effort to achieve what we believe God will not or cannot provide. At a minimum, this type of attitude will lead to a life of emptiness and at worst, our destruction. It is not too late to repent and allow God to return to the throne of your heart!

Jul 31, 2016When God Gives You VictoryBy: Curtis CrawfordSeries: JudgesWhen God is in the process of granting victory over the enemies in our lives, there are three things we must watch out for. We must ensure the territory left empty by the enemy is quickly settled, we don't quit too soon, and we focus all of the praise upon God and God alone. In this message we look at these three warnings and how they manifested in the great victory God gave to Gideon.
