Growing up, I never wanted to work at a church. In fact, I didn’t even like going to church, let alone working at one. I thought it was boring and I didn’t understand any of the stuff that was being talked about. I wanted to be a baseball player. That seemed like a lot more fun….

1. I’m not sure I was the type of person some would have picked to grow up to work at a church. Some would say that it is unexpected that I ended up where I did.

2. When God works in our lives, we so desperately want to know what it is that God is doing or where God is directing us. This is especially true during challenging times. God, where are you? God, what are you doing? God, are you even listening? I know there have been times in my life when I would love to have answers to these questions. I’m sure you do, too.

3. And for so many people, they stop themselves short of participating in ministry or put a cap on possibilities to serve because they just don’t feel like they are ready. They don’t feel as thought they are good enough.
4. But if there is one thing we learn from Scripture, it is this: God is at work in redeeming all things back to himself. God is on the move. God is doing things.

5. A second thing that we learn from Scripture: God usually works in unusual ways.

Judges 6:1-16

Context
1. The book of Judges consists of stories about local heroes within the nation of Israel who end up distinguishing themselves in battle with some of Israel’s ancient enemies, including the Canaanites, Midianites or Philistines.

2. This is a period of time following the first two great leaders of Israel’s history (Moses & Joshua), but prior to the beginning of the monarch (King Saul).

3. When we think of judges, we think of the people in robes who hand out edicts from trials or cases. They are the ones that dispense or dole out justice. The ancient judges or Israel did do some of that, but they were primarily charismatic military leaders who would often appear in Israel’s time of need to fight off invading groups.

4. The sin cycle: (1) Israel sins; (2) punishment occurs; (3) Israel cries out for help; (4) God rescues; (5) Israel rejoice before falling back into sin.
