In this week’s Sunday School lesson we see how God used the faithful courage of one man to inspire a nation. Gideon is such a powerful reminder how God can use the “weak” things of this life to confound the wise. There are so many practical lessons to be pulled out of the story of Gideon.

Practical Challenge
Thanks to Kate B. for sharing these practical challenges.
Each week we hope to share a practical challenge that can be incorporated into the lesson or as homework.
Primary Lesson 12-13 – Practical Challenge
Lesson 12 – Practical Challenge
When the Israelites cried out to God, he heard them! God wants to hear from us too! This week remember to speak to God in prayer. You can thank Him for your family and friends, and ask Him to be with you through your day.
Lesson 13 – Practical Challenge
When Gideon and the Israelites won the battle against the Midianites they knew that it was only because of God’s strength and not their own. We must also trust in the protection and strength of God in our lives. We must not be proud or boastful but acknowledge that God is always with us and helping us. Think of some achievements (awards you may have received at school) or happy moments in your life and thank God for them.
Craft Ideas
In case you’ve forgotten, two dedicated Sunday School teachers have very useful Pinterest pages that link directly to the CSSA program. Each week we will share direct links to the Pinterest boards so you can quickly and easily get quality ideas if needed.

“For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
