Fusion: week of 8/15

 FAMILY THEME: GOD CALLS ORDINARY PEOPLE

Judges 7:1-23

Before Gideon enlisted, before the army gathered, God had

already won the victory He can do the impossible when we

put our trust in Him.

✞   God is the True Source of Our Success

     (Judges 4:1-3)

      Against conventional wisdom, God told Gideon that his

     army was too large and used a series of tests to reduce

     it to 300 men.

✞   God Encourages and Strengthens Us When We Need It

     (Judges 7:49-15)

     God bolstered Gideon's confidence by sending him to

     overhear an enemy soldier's dream.

✞   God Does Amazing Things When We Trust and Obey Him

     (Judges 7:16-23)

     God granted the victory in such a way that no one could

     have denied that He alone was the victor.
