God Chooses Gideon

Send us Fan Mail After Joshua dies, Israel forgets God and the Midianites steal their food year after year. When the people finally pray, God answers. He sends a prophet to remind them of His rescue and then calls an unlikely hero named Gideon. While Gideon is secretly threshing wheat, an angel says, “The Lord is with you.” Gideon asks for proof, and God sends fire to burn up his offering. That night, God tells Gideon to tear down his father’s altar to Baal and build one for the Lord. Even though Gideon feels small, God promises, “I will be with you.” Kids learn that God hears prayers, chooses ordinary people, and gives courage to do what is right. Talk about it: Why were the Israelites hiding, and what made life so hard for them? How did God show Gideon that He was really speaking to him? Why did God ask Gideon to tear down the altar to Baal? What is one brave thing you can do this week to follow God? Visit our website: kathyskidsstorytime.org We’d love to hear from you.
