GO LEAD!Gideon leads the Israelite to victory (Judges 7:1-22)
Bible Memory: Joshua 1:9
Dear Parent or Guardian,
Today your child explored the story of Gideon, a young Israelite who led God's army to a resounding victory over the army of the Midianites. Your child learned that Gideon served God by being a leader. Gideon allowed God to use him to lead the Israelite army into battle, even though God was in complete control. In response to today's lesson, your child was challenged to choose a specific way to "GO LEAD" for God. Ask your child what way he plans to demonstrate leadership within the next day. You can offer to help your child in this activity by suggesting ways to carry out his plan.
Ask these questions to review today's lesson with your child:- What is a leader? (someone who shows others what to do and encourages them to do it)
- How did Gideon demonstrate being a leader for God? (He did what God told him to do; he listened to God and let God do the leading)
- What three things did Gideon tell his men just before the battle began? (watch me; follow my lead; do what I do
- Sometimes being a leader can be hard. What are some ways you can be a good leader? (ask for God's help; do what is right, even when others around you don't)
