If we are truthful with ourselves, children are not the only ones afraid of the dark, are they? As adults we also don't like when things are dark around us. In this world, it is inevitable that there will be times in our lives when our circumstances feel dark. But what do we do when we find ourselves in this place? God's Word gives us plenty of examples of dark times for people in the Bible. Often, they felt as if they couldn't see who or what was around them. But God. But God, even in those difficult circumstances reveals to us how He continued to work and move during their dark times.

Our world is living through a time of unchartered waters, much uncertainty, and unknown circumstances. Because of that, we may be feeling out of control. We cannot control what is going on around us but the good news is that God is in complete control. He is not one bit surprised by our circumstances and He is sovereign over all of it. When we feel like we lack control over what is happening, we can respond in a couple different ways. Thankfully, God's Word teaches us how to respond in situations when we feel like we have no control. And His Word reassures us that we can come to Him when we don't know how to respond.

As we have been studying the book of Judges, we have learned that we, as believers, all have a purpose in His kingdom. The Lord calls us to be set apart for Him, though this is not always an easy feat. But what does being "set apart" actually look like? How does it play out in our everyday lives? What is our responsibility in being "set apart" for him and how do we stay focused with so many distractions around us? It's vital to our Christian walk to understand what it actually means to be set apart and not set aside his purposes for us.

In our walk with Christ, we are called to join His greater story. He calls His people to live lives of trust. While many of us start well, somewhere along the way, life has a way of derailing some of us from God's plan. This may happen as a product of our failures or even our successes. So how do we stay within God's plan for us? How do we continue to live in trust? In this sermon, we look at the life of a Judge, whose success derailed him from God's purpose for Him.
