God’s Promises… VICTORY K.N. 4/22/20

MAIN THEME:

God has given us victory through Jesus! We are winners over Satan and the lies

he tells us. We can’t be defeated in our lives when we believe in Jesus. He gave

us victory when He died on the cross and rose again.

Opening Prayer / Last Week: God’s Promises… TRUST Proverbs3:5-6

Tonight’s Verse: Psalm 32:7

For you are my hiding place; you protect me from trouble.

You surround me with songs of victory. Psalm 32:7

Q #1 Why do we need a hiding place from trouble ? Let kids answer

Q #2 Where do we find our victory over sin?

This is a wonderful way to talk about the power of Christ. Jesus has won a great

victory over sin, the devil, and the world. All who know Him will be saved!

“Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” Romans 10:13

STORY – GIDEON AND THE 300 – The Victory is the Lord’s Judges 6-8

Like the Israelites, we Christians are called into battle. Our enemy is unseen.

Ours is a spiritual battle, not one of this earth. Far too often we forget that.

Ephesians 6:12 reminds us:

For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against

evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers

in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.

REMEMBER

We are winners over Satan and the lies he tells us. We can’t be defeated in our

lives when we believe in Jesus. He gave us victory when He died and rose again.

REMIND KIDS TO: Share the story with their friends.

Gideon and the 300 Judges 6-8

In time, Israel again turned away from God and began to worship false gods. For

seven years, the Midianites stole the Israelites’ animals and destroyed their

crops. To escape from the Midianites, the Israelites hid in caves and in the

mountains. They begged God to save them. So God sent an angel to a young man

named Gideon. The angel said: ‘God has chosen you to be a mighty warrior.’

Gideon asked: ‘How can I save Israel? I am nothing.’

How would Gideon know that God had chosen him? He put a piece of wool on the

ground and said to God: ‘In the morning, if the wool is wet from the dew but the

ground is dry, I will know that you want me to save Israel.’ The next morning,

the wool was soaking wet and the ground was dry! But then Gideon asked that

the next morning the wool be dry and the ground wet. When that happened,

Gideon was finally convinced that God had chosen him. He gathered his soldiers

to fight the Midianites.

God told Gideon: ‘I will give the Israelites victory. But because you have so many

soldiers, you might think that you won the battle by yourselves. Tell anyone who

is afraid that he should go home.’ So 22,000 soldiers went home, and 10,000

remained. God then said: ‘There are still too many soldiers. Bring them to the

stream, and tell them to drink the water. Keep with you only those who watch

out for the enemy while they drink.’ Only 300 of the men stayed alert while

they drank. God promised that these few men would conquer the 135,000

Midianite soldiers.

During that night, God told Gideon: ‘Now is the time to attack the Midianites!’

Gideon gave his men horns and large jars with torches hidden inside. He told

them: ‘Watch me, and do exactly what I do.’ Gideon blew his horn, smashed his

jar, waved his torch, and shouted: ‘The sword of God and of Gideon!’ All of his

300 men did the same. The Midianites were terrified and ran wildly in all

directions. In the chaos, they began to attack one another. Once again, God won

the victory for the Israelites over their enemies.
