The book of Judges cracks a window into the depths of the human soul. Watch a nation struggle with its identity and relationship to its God. Heroes and heroines arise, who seem to have the potential to save Israel. But in the end, each proves to be a broken savior that cannot deliver.

In this series, pastor and author J.D. Greear wades into the book of Judges to shine a light on the muddy waters of human rebellion. The stories and truths within are not just archaic tales with no relevance for us today. Rather, J.D. works through each chapter unpacking the truth of God’s grace in the midst of human wickedness and shows how only the divine can redeem the fallen.

Join us Wednesday Nights starting June 30 at 6:00pm in Room 219 located just off the main balcony on the second floor. Each night will consist of a video, discussion, and prayer. If you have any questions, please contact Pastor Jason at 501-455-3474.

The Forge men's ministry of Geyer Springs exists to connect the men of Geyer to the Live. Love. Reach. mission of our church. The Ministry seeks to facilitate discipleship opportunities for men, engage men in the community ministries of our church, and encourage men to participate in opportunities to take the gospel of Jesus Christ to the nations.

The mission of Forge men’s ministry is to spur one another on to spiritual maturity [Hebrews 10:24-25] through faith [Ephesians 3:14-19], discipleship [Philippians 3:17-21], and brotherhood [Hebrews 10:24-25; Hebrews 13:1-8; 1 Peter 4:7-11] so that the man of God may be fully equipped for every good work [2 Timothy 3:16-17].
