Current Series- Those Found Fearless

Those Found Fearless

Sunday/January 25, 2009

This Sunday, we begin our series entitled "Those Found Fearless," a series about average people just like you and me who became champions and overcame insurmountable odds.  In this series, we are going to look at some great Old Testament stories about people who battled with fear - just like so many of us. We will also explore how God delivered them from their fear, into a strong faith. Battles are inevitable but victory is not. We often find ourselves fighting enemies that are stronger than we are. So how do you stand fearless when there’s so much at stake? Be inspired by those found fearless.

In the next few weeks, we take a close look at the following lives that stood fearless in the face of those bigger and stronger, and became overcomers! Old Testament heros in this series that we will be examining are: Gideon, Shadrach, Meshach & Abednego, Benaiah, Jonathan, and David.  Today, we will find that God saw Gideon as a mighty warrior. but Gideon saw himself as weak and one of the least. But all this is about to change!

Our key Bible text is found in 2 Timothy 1:7, it states;
For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
