An Unlikely Hero

Contributed by Kevin Taylor on Oct 28, 2001

Gideon was considered by others as the least and the last. But to God, he was considered to be a mighty man of valor.

I. Out of Sight, Out of Mind A. Text: Judges 6:1-25 B. So make the situation clear, I want you to notice that, at the beginning of our story, we find Gideon threshing wheat in a winepress! C.

Wear The Dream Series

Contributed by Lance Bane on Nov 7, 2001

This message encourages young people to put into action the dreams that God has put into their hearts.

Former President Woodrow Wilson once said, “We grow by dreams. All big individuals are dreamers. They see things in the soft haze of a spring day,or in the red fire on a long winter’s evening. Some of us let those great dreams die, but others nourish and protect them; nourish them through bad ...read more

Gideon - Kiwi's Can Fly

Contributed by John Gullick on Jul 4, 2002

A sermon that tries to extract some of the keys to success in Gideon’s life that we can apply to our own.

Gideon says - Kiwis can fly. The New Zealand national bird is the Kiwi:- Although a remarkable bird as a national emblem for our people it is, on the face of it something that leaves a lot to be desired! KIWI, a flightless bird in the genus Apteryx, closely related to the extinct Moa. The kiwi ...read more

Samson And Sin's Triple-Whammy

Contributed by Jim Miller on Jul 16, 2002

Sin has a way of deceiving us, first by blinding us to its dangers, then by binding us in its power, and finally by making us a slave to its impulses.

SAMSON AND SIN’S TRIPLE-WHAMMY Judges 16:21 "Then the Philistines took him and put out his eyes, and brought him down to Gaza. They bound him with bronze fetters, and he became a grinder in the prison." INTRODUCTION: Christians who know that it was sin that nailed their Savior to the cross have no ...read more

"Putting Out A Fleece" (Gideon) Series

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Jul 21, 2002

Gideon’s asking for a sign has nothing to do with determining God’s will—God already clearly told Gideon what to do. Gideon’s fleece shows his doubt and fear and lack of trust. Gideon didn’t know his own strength.

“Putting out a Fleece” (Gideon) Pastor Bob Leroe, Cliftondale Congregational Church, Saugus, Massachusetts “Actions have consequences.” This could be the motto of our times, and it certainly would apply to the period of the Judges. In both cases we see people living lawlessly, doing whatever ...read more

"The Sword Of The Lord" Series

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Jul 28, 2002

God frequently trims our resources to get us to depend entirely on Him. When we’re serving in God’s army we become part of the “overwhelming minority.”

“The Sword of the Lord" Pastor Bob Leroe, Cliftondale Congregational Church, Saugus, Massachusetts Many of us are familiar with the management concept of downsizing—we’re told to “do more with less”. However, nations don’t usually downsize when preparing for war! They mobilize their reserves ...read more

A Whole Lot Of Shaking Going On

Contributed by Pastor/Author: Terry Sisney on Jul 31, 2002

We find out as we follow God that we must cooperate with him, we must do something before God will do anything, sometimes we have to shake ourselves

Judg 13:24-25 24And the woman bare a son, and called his name Samson: and the child grew, and the LORD blessed him. 25And the Spirit of the LORD began to move him at times in the camp of Dan between Zorah and Eshtaol.

Patriots For The Cause Of Christ

Contributed by Rick Kallstrom on Jun 9, 2003

When everything they had tried had turned out wrong, and when all had seemed lost, the Israelites cried out to God for help. By grace, God heard the cry of His people and intervened to raise up a leader who could both judge and lead His people.

The year was 1150 B.C. and the Israelites were in terrible circumstances. The military strength that they once had was no longer there and their enemies, the Midianites, had stolen most of their possessions. When everything they had tried had turned out wrong, and when all had seemed lost, the ...read more

Trumpets, Lamps And Clay Pots

Contributed by James May on Jun 4, 2003

The story of Gideon’s army has a lot to say for those who would serve in the Lord’s army.

TRUMPETS, LAMPS AND CLAY POTS In the 6th and 7th chapters of the Book of Judges we find the familiar story of Gideon, who God called “a mighty man of valor”. His story is almost unbelievable simply because Gideon was not a warrior or a great military commander. He was farmer who was hiding his ...read more

It's Not Much; But It's All I've Got

Contributed by Duane Brown on Jun 4, 2003

Israel had a habit of turning from God. And in this particular time there was a definite need of ...read more
