Gideon the Small - Sunday Stories for Families

About this sermon

Judges 7:1-25 - Gideon the Small PARENTS: please look over this week’s edition as the storyline may not be suitable for all children. God showed his power to rescue his people by using Gideon, the most unlikely person, and a very small army to deliver them. Gideon lacked faith in God’s ability to use weak people and impossible circumstances. In what ways can we be like Gideon and doubt God’s promises or power? Does having faith in God mean that we should not wisely consider our own gifts and situations? To the outsider, the gospel message is seemingly weak and often proclaimed by those who are aware of their own inadequacies. How does this passage give you the confidence to faithfully obey God’s command to speak about the cross of Jesus? In what other areas of life should you be stepping out in faithful obedience? Give thanks that God is not limited by our weakness, failures or fear. Ask that he would help you to trust in his promises and live in obedience.
