This Bible story teaching pack is titled “I can be bold: The story of Gideon”. This is the retelling of the story of Gideon and the 300 men in the bible. We saw how God sent an Angel to Gideon with a message of hope when the children of Israel were going through a tough time. In the story, we discussed how Gideon, though afraid, trusted God to gain victory over the Midianites.      

What does the story mean for kids? Kids will learn that what they listen to can make them afraid or courageous. The word of God gives courage. Kids will also be assured that whenever they are afraid, they can trust in God to give them courage. Lastly, God is always ready to save us from troubles.

The bible references for the story are as follows: Judges 6:11 – 7:23.  

We ask that you take the time to prayerfully read the bible references provided and study the materials too. We pray “that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him” (Ephesians 1:17)

Our desire, hope and joy is that each child might come to experience love and grace in Jesus as they understand His words.
