Text: Hebrews 11: 32-39; Luke 23:46
I. GOD OFTEN (EMPOWERS) THE WEAK TO BE STRONG
There are times we must (turn the other cheek); there are times when we need to (stand up to wrong); and there are times we need (to sell).
The life of faith is NOT one (continual victory) after another.
Gideon’s story is of a man who found it difficult (to trust God).
Barak’s story is one faith (overcoming reluctance).
They both show us is not where we begin our journey but where we allow God (to take us).
Samson shows us it (never too late) to trust God.
Jepthah shows us we can (overcome our past) to be used by God.
