A Flash of Salvation | Steve Chick | Light in the Darkness | Judges

Apologies, the start of the sermon where Steve reads the Judges passage was not recorded. In this message from Judges 3, we explore one of the Bible’s most surprising and uncomfortable stories — and discover why God included it. Using irony, satire, and dark humour, the passage exposes the foolishness of opposing God and reminds us that no enemy, no oppression, and no power lasts forever. Through the story of Israel, King Eglon, and the unlikely deliverer Ehud, we’re shown three unexpected truths: • Unexpected misery— how sin and misplaced trust lead to oppression • Unexpected deliverer — how God often saves through unlikely people • Unexpected faith— what it looks like to trust God when the odds feel stacked against us This talk also points beyond Ehud to Jesus — the greater and final deliverer — who brings lasting peace, freedom, and hope, not just for insiders, but for everyone. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or wondering whether God can really meet you where you are, this message is for you. No one is beyond God’s grace, and there is always hope. Scripture references include: Judges 3, Psalm 2, Genesis 4, Hebrews 12, Isaiah 53, Ruth, and the Gospels.
