Gideon: Your Weakness. God’s Strength When we hear the name Gideon, most of us think about 300 soldiers, or the fleece laid out under the evening sky, but Gideon's story is bigger than that. It’s a story about God and His people, His love for them, as well as His strength in spite of their weakness. Gideon's story is about us - our lives, our doubts, our struggles, and our possibilities as believers. Facilitator: Lee Ann Iles Room: E205
1 and 2 Timothy Paul writes to Timothy, his “true son in the faith,” with instructions so that he “may strongly engage in battle, having faith, and a good conscience.” In these two letters, Paul deals with the qualifications of church leaders, in-structions for ministry, false doctrine, and the difficulties and struggles of the Christian life.
