THIS WEEK………………………………..
FINANCE COMMITTEE MEETING - Monday, April 13 @ 7:30PM.
WOMEN'S BIBLE STUDY - Resumes Tuesday at 7PM. The book is "Gideon: Your weakness. God's STRENGTH."
by Priscilla Shirer, the study includes videos. When we hear the name Gideon, most of us think about his 300
soldiers or the fleece he laid out under the evening sky. But Gideon's story is so much bigger than that, bigger
than any one man and his mark on Israel's history. Like everything else in the Bible, this is a story about God
and His people. His love for them, as well as His strength operating in spite of their weakness even through
their weakness. And because God's people includes you and me, Gideon's story is also about us our lives, our
doubts, our struggles, and our possibilities as believers. From a state of fear, weakness, and insecurity, Gideon
emerged as Israel's hero, filled with God's presence and His passion for deliverance. This study will encourage
you to recognize your weakness as the key that the Lord gives you to unlock the full experience of His strength
in your life. In what ways do you feel insufficient? Those places create the greatest opportunity to experience
the sufficiency of God. Instead of ignoring, neglecting, or trying to escape your weaknesses, see them as the
gifts that they are, given specifically and strategically by God to unlock the door of God's strength. If you are
interested in joining in, we would love to have you.
