Last weeks sermon
Posted On September 19, 2006
Here are the sermon notes from last Sunday. God blessed it, and I really was blessed to study this great man of faith.
God bless each of you with great joy! May he give you the great rewards of keeping his Word, mentioned in Psalm 19. (And remember that keep does not equal “obey”. If I tell you to “keep” my pen, does that mean “obey my pen”? No, keep means to watch over, protect, look at intently, etc. Look it up!)

Great sermon notes! What an awesome story…I think, if I were given the odds of 450 to 1 I might just turn and leave. Yet….here Gideon goes to God with his fears. He lets God know he is willing but needs a little reassurance. What a loving Father we have….if we ask for that reassurance in a respectful, humble way He doesn’t mind letting us see a glimpse of what He is going to do. When He sees that our hearts have come to a place of surrender He knows something great can be done and gives us a peek at what is to come. Sometimes we need that vision to spur us on! May this be a lesson to us all. As we come to a place where God asks much of us, maybe much more than we think we have to offer or are capable of, may we learn this lesson of Gideon. That with God…ALL things are possible!
I love that portion of Scripture for many reasons! Looking forward to reading your sermon….
