The story of Gideon in the Bible shows us how God can shape any of us into strong leaders if we’re willing to take one (very small) step of faith at a time.
God shows us through the Bible how to develop and sustain a deep relationship with him that leaves us reimagining every aspect of our lives.
How taking time to ask ourselves questions deepens our relationship with God.
A courageous person is someone who isn’t shaken by circumstances, may experience fear but doesn’t live in it, and is secure and strong no matter what. Does this describe you?
What would it be like if you weren't bitter? Would you be positive and hopeful, more pleasant to be around? What hurts, regrets, or disappointments have you been unable to move past?
How do you think greater spiritual depth could make a church strong? What can you do in your own life, family, and house church to make the church strong?
This is a lesson for all of us about running and quitting. Before we “give up the ghost,” maybe we should check with God to find out if he has a plan.
