With God, your little has no limit. Gideon overcame his fear of the enemy and led his 300 men into battle. With just a few hundred men, some lamps, pitchers and trumpets, Gideon claimed victory.

When we follow God's call, we receive God's courage. Gideon's story picks up with an army at his doorstep about to terrorize Israel. He is just a farmer, but he is tasked with raising an army, and leading his men into battle.

God can use a nobody to save everybody. This is what we learn from the life of Gideon. He was known for his astounding faith, and his great military bravery. Of course he didn't start like this. He began as a nobody--a simple unimportant farmer. This is his story.

The Church is a hospital they say. At this hospital we are healed by Jesus. If you've been healed you've been hired. The moment you came to Christ you were hired by Him to assist Him in His hospital, the Church.

The mission of Jesus while He was on earth was to reconcile all mankind to the Father. This is also the mission of the Church. We have been given the ministry of reconciliation. First, to reconcile all people to God, but also to reconcile men to men.

God's greatest treasure is found in the transition. When Solomon first became king, he sought counsel from his father, wisdom from God, and strength from worship. Today, when we are in transition, we can thrive when we follow Solomons example.

In the valley of the shadow of death, the sheep learned that they could trust their shepherd. We too, can trust our Good Shepherd in the seasons of darkness. Who you're walking with is greater than what you're walking through.

Your mundane matters. When David was just a shepherd, God was using David's time in the sheep field to prepare him for the battlefield. God is using our time in the mundane to prepare us for His plan.

How do you stay healthy on the inside when things are unhealthy on the outside? This is the question the story of Hannah answers for us. Her story teaches us that sometimes our greatest burden becomes our greatest blessing.

To be healthy on the inside, we need to have the right interpretation to our situations. Elijah learned in 1 Kings 19 that he needed to view life through a different lens, and that is what we can do today.
