19 Spring Retreat PictureSermon Update

We had a great time hearing his voice through His word at the retreat this weekend, in the book of Judges 6 & 7.  Here were the themes of the sessions:

  • Friday PM: We can cry out to our Heavenly Father to see His Kingdom manifest in our midst (Matthew 6:9)
  • Saturday AM: God is with us, even when we can’t see Him in our midst because we’re so caught up with our fears (Judges 6:1-24)!
  • Saturday PM: God is with us, so we can drive out idols that take us away from His all-consuming love (Judges 6:25-32)!
  • Sunday AM: God is with us, to fight our battles in a different way than we’re used to and encouraging us through others (Judges 7:1-16, 22)!
