In this message we look at how Gideon had to face challenges and fears when God thinned out his army from 30.000 men to only 300. In preparation of the battle to come, Gideon was tested in his obedience to God and learned to walk in humility and surrender. In our own lives we also face fears. The question is; do we follow the voice of our fear or God’s voice? We explore practical steps that can build our trust in God and help us to move from fear towards faith.

In the opening of our series on Ruth, we focus on the reality of suffering. Naomi has experienced almost every loss imaginable, yet even amidst her turmoil and grief, signs of hope begin to emerge. Our own lives can mirror this pattern, we go through seasons of emptiness and challenge. In this message, we will consider suffering, pain, and loss, and explore how, even in the midst of difficulty, God provides reasons for hope.
