In this final message of our series in the life of Gideon, we see that Gideon ended badly.
 
For all his moments of faith, he ultimately left the Israelites in a worse position than before.
 
How can this be? We see two major faults in Gideon:
He was a product of his father's mess
He relied on his previous successes
 
However the message ends with hope. Gideon's failures point us forward to a real king, a complete saviour, a total victory - all of which we receive (and more) in Jesus.

One encounter with Jesus will transform your life.
 
That was true for the characters in this account from John 12. One experienced Jesus' resurrection power. One responded in radical devotion and love. One hid his selfishness behind his religious words.
 
The Christian gospel carries a power that can lift the dead to new life in Jesus.
 
This message examines this power and asks how we can have it for ourselves.

Gideon struggles with weak faith. What's more, he has some major battles ahead of him. 
 
To seek clarity he lays down some tests for God, who graciously complies. Furthermore, God gives a further encouragement through an unusual dream.
 
How much of Gideon's story should provide a model for our own discernment and decision-making? How should believers in God and followers of Jesus make decisions?
 
In this message, we see when it comes to salvation:
God strengthens the weak
God weakens the strong

Jesus brought immediate calm when he spoke to the raging storm. Life was at risk, and the disciples were panicking to do something - anything - that would save them. But nothing was helping. Their only option was Jesus.
 
In this sermon we learn:
Jesus is present in the storm
Jesus is powerful over the storm
Jesus is proclaimed by the storm

The final talk in our Transforming Community series.
 
If we grasp the message of the gospel of Jesus, this will have a profound effect on three relationships within the church:
 
With our leaders
With one another
With God in worship
 
This will shape how we see our meeting together as believers in Jesus.

How we think about the final day will impact how we live in the present day.
 
The Apostle Paul writes to encourage the new Christian believers in Thessalonica that the Day of the Lord is something they can look forward to in hope, and not to fear.
 
This sermon addresses mistakes we make when we think of the final day, and how to be ready for it.
