Deborah: I Will Worship the Lord

In this week’s message, we look closely at the story of Deborah — a prophetess, judge, and courageous leader in Israel. At a time when God’s people were trapped in a cycle of rebellion and oppression, Deborah’s faith and bold obedience stand out as a reminder of how the Lord raises up unlikely leaders to bring his people back to himself. Her story calls us to live with spiritual readiness, listening for God’s voice and responding with trust even in the face of overwhelming odds. Through Deborah’s leadership, God delivered Israel, pointing us to the greater Deliverer, Jesus, who alone breaks the cycle of sin and offers lasting freedom. As we reflect on Deborah’s example, we’re challenged to ask: where do we find ourselves in the spiritual cycle — rebellion, reckoning, repentance, or restoration — and how will we respond to the Lord’s call today?
