We had a smaller class tonight, I know some of the kids were going to another church for a service. Always makes you feel good about things. Maybe everybody will be back Sunday morning. We had eighteen kids in my class tonight as we studied about Gideon in the book of Judges. We looked at both how Gideon sought after a sign from God and how he led the children of Israel to victory over the Midianites that had enslaved them for seven years.
The main thing I wanted the kids to get out of the lesson was how we shouldn't ask for signs from God, but should live by faith. Also I wanted them to see how that God would not let Gideon use the 22,000 men at his disposal to fight, but only allowed him to have 300 men. God wanted everyone to know that He won the fight, not them. When we obey God and go where He sends, no number of enemies can keep us from achieving what God has laid out for us. We must seek His strength and not rely on our own. Ephesians 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
Richard and Stephanie won the Bible drills tonight. That puts Jonathan and Richard in the hunt for this month's champions in group one, and Stephanie and Sarah in the lead in group two. I can't wait to see how it turns out. We are talking about doing something Sunday night after church that involves eating, playing some games, and having a good time together. The kids are off Monday so maybe we can all get together and have a good time. To those of you that skipped tonight, shame on ya, but we still love you. Hope to see you Sunday-brojason
Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
