Lifekids News

Week of May 11, 2021

Hello Lifekids,

This past Sunday, we learned that once again, the Israelites rejected God, sinned repeatedly, and found themselves oppressed by an enemy, the Midianites. They cried out for help. God heard them and chose a man named Gideon to be their next judge. But first Gideon had to grow in his faith. Gideon’s story shows us how patient and caring God is. God patiently answered Gideon’s prayers so that Gideon could learn to trust God completely.

This week, we will learn how God will deliver Israel from the Midianites, but He would do it in such a way that He would receive the glory. Gideon began with 32,000 troops but eventually went to the battle with 300. God would win the battle for His people. Sadly, Gideon was not a perfect leader. Later in life, his actions led Israel to worship an idol instead of the one true God. The story of Gideon points us to our need for a perfect judge—Jesus.

We are looking forward to seeing you in class this week!
