Read the story of Gideon in Judges chapters 6 and 7.

Gideon spends much of the story being afraid. Think about how God deals with him. Does it surprise you that God is so gentle?

Can you recognise the following features in Gideon’s story (try putting a specific verse to each feature):
• An Invitation to work with God
• Obstacles and Impossibilities
• Miracles
• Kingdom Come

Have you seen these features in your own life? Think about what might be going on in your life right now. What stage of the story are you in? Do you ever fail to recognise these stages?

Think about your sphere of influence. How much
of your influence do you use? Are you using it effectively? How much do you give to the church?

Read about Gideon’s later life in Judges 8:22-35. It’s a depressing read! What might this serve as a warning to us, in our lives and as a church thinking about buying a building?
