Shooting at the Saints
The 21st century Christian has more access to other believers than ever before. The internet, telephone, and quick transportation lend themselves as tools for unity. But the Church still isn't as unified as it should be. Greater opportunity for communication has only given us greater opportunity for bickering and fighting. In Judges 7-8 Gideon teaches us how to say no to disunity.
No Room for Heroes
When we think of men who accomplished mighty things for God, we might think of David killing Goliath or Abraham offering his son Isaac or Paul facing constant persecution. But as Stephen points out in this message, the little things count to God as well. God might not call us to kill a giant or offer our child as a sacrifice, but He has called us to obey His Word daily. And that, in His eyes, is a mighty deed!
Putting Away the Fleece
There he stood, waiting, watching, and wondering, not realizing that this act would make history. "Would the fleece be wet?" Gideon wondered. "Is it really God's will?" This singular incident is what is most often remembered about this particular judge of Israel. However, Stephen's study of the life of Gideon reveals that this story is about much more than a fleece.
