WITH A GROUP
1. What might it have been about the angel’s greeting that caused Gideon to doubt the message?
2. What questions did Gideon ask the angel? And what were the responses? Do these questions remind you of the questions of another Old Testament character?
3. Considering Gideon’s current posture what made the angel’s statement unbelievable?
4. How did Gideon respond to the angel’s description of him as a “might hero”?

MEMORY VERSE:
1 Corinthians 1:28
“God chose things despised by the world, things counted as
nothing at all, and used them to bring to nothing what the world considers important.
ACTIVITY:
Have everyone write on a card one thing that they seem to struggle with. Place all of the cards upside down in the center of the table. Take turns choosing a card to read out loud. Have everyone in the circle share ways in which that fear might be conquered.
