I. Introduction Let’s open our bibles to the book of Gideon. Or if you don’t have a book of Gideon, let’s open our Gideon bibles. We’re going to look today at a warrior named Gideon in the book of Judges chapter 6, so let’s turn there. Your bible should have a book of Judges. … Continue reading The Timid Warrior
I. Introduction Our lesson today studies the Ark of the Covenant, so I would like to back up a long, long way in scripture. I’m never sure how far I should go back to provide the right historical context, and it seems like every time I study this I want to go all the way … Continue reading Ark of the Covenant

It actually worked out better for teaching, but it looks like a lousy format for a … Continue reading Taking Comfort in God’s Strength
I taught my first bible lesson to adults today. It was sort of scary; I'm used to teaching 3rd graders for bible study where the most complex scriptural question is, "Mr. Mike, can I go to the restroom?" The opportunity arose to teach this week came up and (gulp) I took the bait. It's been … Continue reading Trusting in God’s Promise
