    based on 7 ratings
     | 16,594 views

    God strips away from Gideon everything he had confidence in so that Gideon will have confidence in God. Learn the basis of humility and how God works it in us.

    Last time we saw timid, but stubborn Gideon. He thought he was incapable of obeying God in rescuing Israel from the Midianites. He asked God for several signs - including two different signs with the fleece as a way of proving that God was really going to do what He said. So now it’s almost as if ...read more

    These six words cause me to wonder, are we really concerned about the souls of others? Do we care if the unsaved perish? Do we care that when the lost die lost they are lost forever?

    Seeing the Holiness of God and being aware of His Presence should produce a fearful wonder and reverence of God, a terrifying vision of our own sinfulness, and a sanctified yieldedness to the Holy Sovereign One.

    CONDITIONS OF REVIVAL: SEEING HIS HOLINESS ISAIAH 6:1-8 HOLY – HOLY – HOLY! The God of all creation is infinitely holy. But what does that mean?

    Ever feel discouraged that life is too much? Fear of failure is common, but God has a secret weapon to deploy on your behalf!

    Atychiphobia is the fear of failure. While I don’t subscribe to their philosophy, PsychologyToday.com posed an interesting question recently: “What would you attempt if you knew you could not fail?” Fear of failure is closely associated with the fear of criticism and the fear of rejection. This is ...read more

    God’s purpose for the church will be accomplished. But will we be part of it? That depends.

    I love this illustration from Sermon Central: A teacher was asking children in his Sunday school class, “If I sold my house and my car, had a big garage sale and gave all my money to the church, would I get to heaven?” “NO”! The children answered. “If I cleaned the church everyday, mowed the yard, ...read more
