This sermon was originally preached in December of 2019 announcing the second pregnancy of Pastor's wife, Fernanda. Sadly, not long after we suffered a miscarriage and at the time it felt more comfortable to take down the sermon. After having time to heal and with our rejoicing over our next son due November 15 of this year, we wanted to repost the message as all covenant children are a blessing -whenever God takes them to Himself-.----God best blesses those who respect Him with many children to build their families and His Church. People who fear God are greatly blessed. God's greatest blessing upon those who fear Him is giving them many babies. Babies Are a Big Blessing.

A study of how God tells Gideon to narrow down his army from 32,000 to 300 before fighting the multitudinous Midianites so that only God gets the glory for their victory.

The people of God on the whole who reject Jesus will be rejected by Him. Don't Reject the Redeemer.
