We can’t wait to worship with you!

Let faith be the compass that guides your steps, hope the anchor that steadies your heart, and love the light that illuminates every shared journey toward grace.

Verse Of The Week

    Judges 3:31 (RSV)

After him was Shamgar the son of Anath, who killed six hundred of the Philistines with an oxgoad; and he too delivered Israel.

After the Benediction

The sermon doesn't end with the benediction—our family gets short, practical steps and a weekly challenge to help us live God's Word boldly and intentionally all week.

Sermon Title: Shamgar & The Power of S.U.D.S. |  Scripture: Judges 3:31 | This week, the principle Shamgar used to be victorious still works. The S.U.D.S. Principle means: 
 

Start Where You Are - God didn’t call Shamgar out of the field. He called him in the field. The “now” place is the best place.
💡 Practical Application: Stop focusing on the next thing. Start stewarding the now thing.
📅 Weekly Challenge: Identify one area where you’ve been waiting. Take one concrete step this week. Send the email. Make the call.  Begin the fast. Start the journal. Start Where You Are.

Use What You Have - Shamgar saw 600 Philistines… Then he looked at his hand. No sword. No shield. No helmet. Just a wooden stick, an oxgoad (a farm-tool), so he used what he had.
💡 Practical Application: Stop making excuses about your “lack.” Start making an inventory of your “legacy.” Use your voice to speak life. Use your experience to mentor. Use your testimony to strengthen someone. Use your platform (even social media) for purpose.
📅 Weekly Challenge: List three tools, skills, or opportunities already in your hand. Intentionally use at least one this week for Kingdom impact.

Do All You Can - The Bible says Shamgar struck down 600 Philistines. That wasn’t one big moment. That was 600 individual decisions to keep going.💡 Practical Application: Where are you hesitating because the assignment feels too big or you feel inadequate? 
📅 Weekly Challenge: Finish one hard thing you’ve been avoiding. Do it as unto the Lord. Pray daily. Read daily. Encourage daily. Serve intentionally.

Stand In God’s Strength - If you only Start, Use, and Do… you’ll burn out. But when you Stand in God’s Strength, you become sustained. Shamgar didn’t prevail because he was strong. He prevailed because the Spirit of the Living God rested on him. Your effort has limits. God’s power does not.
💡 Practical Application: Shift from: “I can handle this.” to “God can handle this through me.” Pray before you act. Depend on and lean on God before you move/act.
📅 Weekly Challenge: For 7 days: Spend 10 quiet minutes each morning asking God specifically for His strength. Don’t just try harder. Stand in God’s Strength.
