Deborah is the only female prophet and judge mentioned in the Bible. She obeyed a message from God that resulted in the end of the Canaanite threat to Israel, although she was not a warrior or the one who delivered the final victory. Her heroism was in responding in faith to a call to do what she never expected.

James 1:5-8 (NLT) ; 雅 各 書 1:5-8 (CUVS)
Judges 5 (NLT) ; 士 師 記 5 (CUVS) – Deborah’s victory song
Judges 4 (NLT) ; 士 師 記 4 (CUVS) – Deborah’s story

Pastor Ryan’s sermon “Wherever You’re At” talks about times where people can say “Thank you!” to God for his grace. In times when we’re far away from faith or when we’re “stuck” in our faith journey even though we are still committed to Christ, God will brings us back if we cry out to him.

Psalm 107:1-3,17-22 (NLT) / 詩 篇 107:1-3,17-22 (CUVS)
Ephesians 2:1-10 (NLT) / 以 弗 所 書 2:1-10 (CUVS)

This is the fifth sermon in Pastor Ryan’s series “The Flawed Yet Faithful”, which looks at some of the imperfect but faithful people listed in chapter 11 of the book of Hebrews. God used them in spite of their flaws, and he can use us in spite of ours as well — if only we are faithful.

Hebrews 11:32-34 (NLT) ; 希 伯 來 書 11:32-34 (CUVS)

The story of Samson is found in Judges 13-16 (NLT) ; 士 師 記 13-16 (CUVS).
