Spoken Word

by Sheila Petitphar | March 10, 2024 11:00 AM

Our group leader pastor Jason was our speaker for today. He spoke on the life of Gideon. With God less is more. Judges 7:2

Do you trust what I have given you? Jesus worked well with those small numbers. What God has placed in your life is more than enough for what we need to do for God.

Our team is a group of 11 and we are trusting God to multiply the work of our hands this week for His glory. Just like Gideon so we can say God did it.
