    In Gideon we see a truth about EXCUSES!! What is an excuse? It is A LIE WRAPPED UP IN AN EXPLANATION and you think because you have some explanation that makes the lie less ugly and more acceptable.

    This message deals with the fact that fear is the basis of faithlessness, often resulting in accusations toward others, and absurdity in one’s thinking. However, one who will choose to put their faith in God, will find their faith strengthen.

    Forward by Faith Text: Ex. 14:10, 13-15 Intro: Many Christians these days possess a distorted view of the life of faith. Some tend to think of faith as nothing more than a positive attitude, or the mindset that everything is going to work out all right in the end. This is sort of a “power of ...read more
