In this week's sermon, Pastor John reveals how sin pulls us lower when our passions rule instead of Jesus. Through Samson’s story, we see that selfishness and pride ultimately lead to destruction. Yet even in our failures, God is still at work and nothing will stop His redemptive power through Christ.

As we continue our sermon series, Unafraid, we look at the story of Gideon one more week and what that means for us as believers.

JUDGES 7:9-11 Judges 7:12-15

THE SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD…
1. DIRECTION

2. PROTECTION

3. RIGHT TIMING

4. RIGHT PEOPLE

5. RIGHT WORDS

Charles Spurgeon The sovereignty of God is the pillow upon which a child of God rests his head at night in peace.

Judges 7:16-22

3. PROMISED victory vs 2, 7, 15 1 Corinthians 15:57 I John 5:4-5

A faithful ending outweighs a flawed beginning.

We continue our sermon series, Unafraid while Pastor Drew looks at Judges 7 and the story of Gideon and how that really points us to Christ.

Ephesians 2:8-9

8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast

Judges 7:1-22 ESV

"The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the sign to every Christian that the enemy, death, has been defeated and turned into an ally.”

Three Gospel Reminders From Judges 7:

1. Jesus Calls Us From "Come and See" to "Come and Die."
2. The Lowly Bread Became Victory Bread.
3. The One and Only Saving Hand.
