Judges Chapters 6-9

Despite hiding in fear, Gideon becomes God's unlikely instrument for delivering Israel, a reminder that God uses the unassuming to achieve the extraordinary.

QUESTIONS FOR THE WEEK:   His Eyes: The Book of Judges - Gideon’s 300

  1. Initially Gideon feels underqualified for the calling God makes on his life. Have you ever felt unqualified for a calling or responsibility?

  2. Read Judges 6.   How can Gideon's story help us deal with feelings of inadequacy when faced with a calling or challenge?

  3. Read Judges 7:The concept of "too many people" (Gideon having too large an army) is an interesting one. How can this idea apply to our own ministries or our vocations? When might trusting God involve letting go of control or certain ways of doing things?

  4. Gideon ends up making an idol (the ephod) out of his success. Can you think of any times in your own life where you've taken credit for something God played a role in? How can we be mindful of giving God the credit he deserves?

The Great Divorce is my favorite C.S. Lewis book. It truly forces us to look in the mirror and decide if we are actually willing to lay down our demons and walk toward the light.

[Sunday] Psalm 1 - The Man

The Bible is full of opposites: light/dark, good/evil, life/death, and on and on. To that list we can add saint/sinner. Psalm 1 deals with both the saint and the sinner in each of us while also laying a solid foundation for the entire Psalter. It also introduces us to our Savior.
