On today's episode, Pastor Cameron brings our "Jesus in Judges" series to an end by looking at Jesus as the One who destroyed death through dying. His death was the very vehicle by which He destroyed the work of the enemy and the power of death and sin!

Join Pastor Cameron as we continue looking at Jesus through the life of Samson. Through Samson's moral failure, we can be reminded of the way Jesus never failed and always overcame temptation - Samson was a strong man who was actually weak, while Jesus was a strong man who was stronger than we could ever imagine!

Join Pastor Cameron as he looks at how Jesus gives water that eternally satisfies. Samson's thirst was satisfied for a moment by the fountain, but when we drink the water of life we will never thirst again.

The last judge we will cover in our "Jesus in Judges" series is Samson, as Pastor Cameron begins today. Samson was a tragically flawed figure, who nevertheless gives us several glimpses into the life and ministry of Christ.

Join Pastor Cameron as we look at one more lesson from the life of Jepthah - Jesus is the true offering that atoned for our sins. Whereas Jepthah foolishly and needlessly offered his daughter, Jesus was the necessary once for all-time offering that forever secured the salvation of all who trust in Him!

On today's episode, Pastor Cameron looks at how Jesus did not go to the highest levels of society when choosing His disciples. Rather, He chose the lowly and the forgotten, and He is still looking for men and women like this today!

Just as Jepthah was rejected by his own brothers and family, so Jesus was rejected by the very ones He came to save. Join Pastor Cameron as we look into this parallel on today's episode.

Join Pastor Cameron as we look at the next judge in our series "Jesus in Judges" - Jepthah. Jepthah was a rough man, rejected by his own people, who was mightily used by God.

On today's episode, Pastor Cameron considers the weapons of Gideon's army - a clay jar, a torch, and a trumpet! We must always remember that our weapons are not carnal but spiritual, as Jesus will empower us with spiritual weapons for the spiritual battle we are in.

When it was time for Gideon to lead his army into battle against the Midianites, the Lord pared his forces down from 32,000 men to just 300! The Lord can save by many or by few and wants our trust to be in Him and Him alone, as Pastor Cameron shares today.

Gideon had a revelation of the Lord as Jehovah-Shalom, "The Lord our Peace." Join Pastor Cameron as we consider how Jesus can bring peace into any situation - peace is not just a quality He possesses but He is Peace!

On today's episode, Pastor Cameron reminds us that Jesus is the wonderful deed worker of the fathers. The same God who did miracles before is the same God we serve today!

Gideon was a man from the weakest family in the weakest tribe of the weakest nation, yet God called Him a mighty man of valor! On today's episode, Pastor Cameron shows us how this points towards Jesus, the Savior who was born in Bethlehem and raised in Nazareth.

On today's episode, Pastor Cameron begins our look at Gideon, the man the Lord plucked from weakness and obscurity to lead His people to deliverance. As the life of Gideon shows us, the Lord can save by many or by few!
