Deborah - A Legacy of Wisdom and Justice

Jul 27, 2025    Rebekah Knape

This is Week 4 of our Legacy of Leadership series, and so far we’ve walked through the faithful obedience of Abraham, the courageous resolve of Moses, and the heartfelt worship and repentance of David.


This week, we turn our attention to a leader whose strength looked a little different—but was just as powerful: Deborah.


Deborah was a prophetess, a judge, and a leader during one of Israel’s most difficult seasons. What set her apart wasn’t physical might or personal ambition—it was her deep wisdom, unwavering faith, and passion for justice. She led with discernment when others hesitated, she acted with courage when the battle loomed, and she gave all the glory to God through worship and praise.


In this message we’ll explore:


How godly wisdom empowers us to lead with clarity and integrity


How courage means stepping forward in faith, even when the odds are stacked against us


And how a legacy built on justice, compassion, and worship can inspire generations to seek God


Deborah’s story reminds us that leadership is not about title or status—it’s about faithfully following God and lifting others as we go. Whether you're leading in your family, workplace, or community, her life offers a powerful model for serving with both boldness and grace.


Join us as we learn how to lead with wisdom and courage, just like Deborah.
