The Heart of a Champion

Lesson Topic The Heart of a Champion

Thats Good to Know I am Gods champion.

Bible Lesson The story of Gideon: Judges 6:11-18.

Spoken Word The Lord is helping you, and you are a strong warrior. Judges 6:12

Parent Corner You would probably be amazed at the barrage of derogatory words assaulting your kids during a typical week. Some kids endure racial slurs; others are tormented by pejorative names based on their looks. Labels like stupid, dumb, ugly, trash, unwanted and various curse words hit as hard as an arrow through the heart.

Tragically, sometimes kids believe these lies about themselves and live down to such labels. However, with this weeks lesson we help your kids see themselves from Gods point of view.

In the midst of poverty and oppression, the Lord greeted insignificant Gideon with the last title he ever expected: strong warrior (Judges 6:12). When the Lords angel said, I am giving you the power to rescue Israel. Gideon replied, But how can I rescue Israel? My clan is the weakest one in Manasseh, and everyone else in my family is more important than I am (vv.12-15).

When you teach your kids to say, I am Gods champion, some of them will think, Not me! How could God use me? Im nobody from a family of nobodies! Your challenge is to help your kids identify with Gideon. If God could choose him, He can choose and use your children- no matter what! Remember the words of Paul: God chose the foolish things of this world to put the wise to shame. He chose the weak things of this world to put the powerful to shame (1 Cor. 1:27).
