Podcasts about gideons

The name of Jesus holds transformative power, as demonstrated through the work of the Gideons International. This organization of business and professional men, along with their wives, distributes Bibles in strategic locations like hospitals, prisons, hotels, and schools. They've distributed 2.4 billion copies of God's Word in 110 languages and offer a Bible app available in 2,289 languages. Their mission is driven by the belief that God's Word changes lives, as illustrated by the story of a Hindu woman who found salvation through reading Romans. The Gideons' work continues through financial support and prayer.

Israel hat mit einer neuen Grossoffensive im Gazastreifen begonnen. Allein in den letzten Tagen sollen Hunderte Menschen getötet worden sein. Was plant die Regierung Netanjahu im Gazastreifen? Die neue Grossoffensive bedeute eine neue Dimension im Krieg, sagt unser Experte. Es gehe um eine Neubesiedelung des Gazastreifens, auch sei die Befreiung der Geiseln an zweite Stelle gerückt, es gehe der Regierung in erster Linie um den Sieg über die Terrororganisation Hamas. Derweil wird die Kritik an der Regierung Netanjahu immer lauter. Was bedeutet die Grossoffensive für die Menschen im Gazastreifen? Was sagen Kritikerinnen und Kritiker in Israel und weltweit? Und gibt es – trotz allem – auch Hoffnung? ____________________ Habt Ihr Fragen oder Themen-Inputs?

11.05.25 J. Martens - Gideon (2) allein. Gottes Größe zählt https://www.bibleserver.com/NLB/Richter7,1-8Gott hat kein Problem damit, uns Schwäche Menschen zu berufen. 132 Tausend Medianiter und nur 32 Tausend bei Gideon als israelitisches Heer. Trotzdem  sagt Gott : ihr seid zu viel! Gott will seine Kraft mit einem kleinen Heer darstellen, so dass sich Iareal  nicht selbst rühmt. Gott ist größer - er möchte kein Beiwerk sein : Gott möchte nicht nur in unserer Schwäche helfen, er will auch der Herr unserer Erfolge sein. Die Herausforderung, Gott allein alles zuzutrauen. Mit dem großen Gott zu unseren Problemen gehen. Gott groß machen, nicht die Probleme. Das Vertrauen auf Gott soll wachsen. Gott kennt unsere Ängst und schenkt Ermutigungszeichen.Richter7,9-11Got schenkt den Sieg,  Richter7,19-22: der Sieg Israels und Gideons.  Unser Ermutigungszeichen ist das Kreuz Jesu. Das Hoffnungszeichen. Gott ist größer: als unsere Schuld, als unsere Misserfolge. Gott will unsere Stärke sein. 

"De proporties lijken in Israël volledig zoekgeraakt." Het zijn de woorden van minister Veldkamp van Buitenlandse Zaken. Hij vindt dat Israël met de voortdurende humanitaire blokkade van Gaza de mensenrechten en democratische principes niet meer respecteert. Deze week kwam Israël met een nieuw militair plan voor de Gazastrook, met de naam 'Gideons strijdwagens'. Ministers hebben het over het permanent bezetten van de Gazastrook, en het verplaatsen van Palestijnen. Journalist en oud-correspondent Inez Polak vertelt wat dit nieuwste plan inhoudt. En hoogleraar aan de Universiteit van Amsterdam André Nollkaemper bespreekt hoe het zich verhoudt tot het internationaal recht.  Reageren?

We'll uncover the unique color-coding system that helps direct Bibles to groups like military personnel and medical staff, and dive into the biblical inspiration for the name "Gideons," drawn from a figure known for his steadfast obedience to God's will.Our conversation takes a personal turn as we explore the impact of becoming a Gideon, emphasizing its non-denominational nature and the heartfelt commitment involved. Dr. Bostick sheds light on the various roles within the organization, from speaking engagements at churches to the distribution of Bibles in hotels and hospitals. We also highlight the innovative Gideon card program, a meaningful way to honor loved ones by donating Bibles in their name. With personal stories and gospel narratives at the heart of this endeavor, we discuss how these tales of faith can connect and empower.

2-16-2025 Message: Tyrone Clark, from the Gideons by Tenstrike Community Church

Ron Estes presents a message about the Gideons, International ministry around the world on February 9, 2025.

Prædiken fra gudstjeneste i Broen d. 9. februar 2025Prædikant: Peter Jerup-ThiseTekst: Dommerbogen kap. 6,11-26–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Studiemateriale til prædikenen Materialet er skrevet til brug i cellegrupper, men kan også bruges som personlig refleksion, eller sammen med en mikromakker, eller ægtefælle. START MED BØN (5 MIN)Lad en person lede en bøn og bed Helligånden om at lede, og guide jer i jeres tid sammen.CHECK-IN (15 - 20 MIN)Hvis I er en gruppe på mere end seks personer, kan det være en idé at opdele jer i grupper af tre, så der bliver bedre tid og rum for alle. Har I ikke startet aftenen med at spise sammen, kan det være en god idé at lande lidt først. Del kort med hinanden, hvad I hver især ankommer med: hvad fylder I dag – godt, skidt, arbejde, familieliv?Hjælp hinanden med at holde tiden. I kan evt. sætte en timer. TAL OM PRÆDIKENEN1 Læs teksten til prædikenen sammen: Dommerbogen kap. 6,11-262 Har du hørt prædikenen? Hvad lagde du særligt mærke til i Gideons historie?3 Hvor i dit liv kan du have overset Guds nærvær, fordi du forventede, at han ville komme på en anden måde? – Ligesom Gideon oplevede Gud komme stille og roligt, kan Gud også møde dig i det uventede.4 Hvilken identitet har du taget på dig – og stemmer den overens med den identitet, Gud taler over dit liv? – Gideon så sig selv som svag og ubetydelig, men Gud kaldte ham en "tapper kriger". Hvilke ord lader du definere dig?5 Hvad fylder dit liv lige nu, som måske overdøver Guds stemme? – Gideon var optaget af at sikre sin overlevelse, men Gud ventede på det rette øjeblik til at tale til ham. Er der noget, du skal lægge ned for bedre at kunne høre Gud?6 Hvornår har du sidst sat dig stille for at lytte til Gud og lade ham tale sin sandhed ind i dit liv? – Gud taler ikke altid i storm og drama, men ofte i stilhed. Har du plads til stilheden?7 Hvordan kan du begynde at vandre i den sandhed, Gud taler over dig? – Gideon blev kaldt til at handle på den identitet, Gud gav ham. Hvad kunne det betyde for dig at leve ud fra Guds ord om dig frem for din egen selvopfattelse?8 Er der nogle “næste skridt”, der skal sættes ind i kalenderen for dig, eller for jer som gruppe? Hvilke skridt kan du tage for at stole på Guds løfter, selv når du ikke forstår dine omstændigheder?BØN (10 MIN)Bed for jer selv og for hinanden, og bed ind i de ting, I har delt med hinanden. AFSLUTNINGOplever du, at Gud minder dig om noget nu, som du har lyst til at dele? Det kan både være til dig selv og til andre i fællesskabet. Husk, at Gud bruger os som fællesskab til at opmuntre hinanden i tro.

Reiner Matthes aus  der FeG Zevenbibleserver.com/LUT/Richter6,1-5.11-16"als die Israeliten taten, was dem HERRN missfiel". Israel dient anderen Göttern  → was ist das übertragen auf Heute?"Und der Engel des HERRN kam", "Da erschien ihm der Engel des HERRN und sprach zu ihm: Der HERR mit dir". "Der HERR aber sprach zu ihm: Ich will mit dir sein" → Gott lässt uns nicht alleine "Der HERR aber wandte sich zu ihm und sprach: Geh hin in dieser deiner Kraft; du sollst Israel erretten aus den Händen der Midianiter. Siehe, ich habe dich gesandt!" → Gott sieht das Potenzial in uns, "Der HERR mit dir, du streitbarer Held!"bibleserver.com/LUT/Richter6,25.26 : falsche Götter "nieder reißen" → Götzen Dienst anlegen und wieder Nähe zu Gott suchen. Gideon erbittet Zeichen von Gott : bibleserver.com/LUT/Richter6,36-40 → nur für besondere Situationen, nicht als alltägliches orakeln! 

Gideons 32.000 Männer sind den Midianitern zahlenmäßig weit unterlegen, als Gott ihm sagt: „Du hast zu viele Männer“. Er befiehlt Gideon, jeden freizulassen, der Angst hat, und zwei Drittel seines Heeres gehen. Jetzt hat er noch 10.000 Mann. Wieder sagt der Herr: „Es sind immer noch zu viele“ und reduziert das Heer auf 300 Mann. Und es kommt noch besser! Gott weist Gideon an, die Midianiter mit Trompeten und Krügen anzugreifen. Jetzt kommt der Knaller: Israel gewinnt! Warum hat Gott das so gemacht? Hätte Gideon mit 32.000 Mann angegriffen und gewonnen, hätten die Israeliten gedacht, dass Gott nicht viel geholfen hat, und Gott wenig Anerkennung geschenkt. Aber Gott ist mehr wert. Gott will und verdient volle Anerkennung. Und wenn 300 Männer ein riesiges Heer mit Trompeten und Krügen niederschlagen, dann gebührt Gott die ganze Ehre (s. Ri 7). Warum? Weil ein solcher Sieg alle Widrigkeiten überwindet. Allzu oft drehen sich unsere Gebete darum, Gott möge unsere Gewinnchancen erhöhen. Wir möchten, dass alles zum Besten steht. Aber vielleicht möchte Gott, dass die Chancen gegen uns stehen, damit wir ein Wunder göttlichen Ausmaßes erleben können. Glaube bedeutet, Gott zu vertrauen, egal wie hoffnungslos die Lage ist. Unsere unmöglichen Umstände sind eine Chance, Gottes Herrlichkeit auf einem neuen Niveau zu erleben. Stehst du vor einer Situation, die du nicht bewältigen kannst? Lies: “Wir halten uns selbst nicht dazu fähig, irgendetwas zu bewirken, was bleibenden Wert hätte. Unsere Kraft dazu kommt von Gott.” (2.Kor 3,5 NL).

Butch and Steve reflect on the power of taking time to carefully walk through Scripture, as seen in a story with the Gideons where a simple question revealed deeper insights. Steve highlights the effectiveness of STS for equipping laypeople, including tradesmen, especially in a post-COVID world where church ministry must extend beyond traditional walls. They both emphasize that STS is a powerful tool for pastors to equip their congregations.

Send us a textI just want to hold on to this season for jus a little bit longer! Is that possible?Well, to make it even better, it coincides with our 100th podcast episode! Churning out a new show every Friday for the last 4 seasons has been an incredible and validating experience.My goal has always to bring words and sentences from my blog and create real life conversations with the humans of our society that bring a positive aspect that can create an inspiring spark inside of anyone that is listening.With that said, thank you to all of you that are listening each week, that are sharing our stories, our guests that open up their heart and speak their truth, and to our amazing team that puts it all together for everyone to listen. Adrian from Solid Ice Media is the man and I am so grateful! And lastly, to our amazing family of sponsors. Without each and every one of our amazing businesses partnering with us, the NolaPapa Podcast would not be possible. Thank you from the bottom of Papa's heart!Here is to 200 more!Before I begin, I would like to send our thoughts, prayers, good vibes and NOLA LOVE and light to all that has been effected by the Hurricanes in Florida and throughout, this year. As a New Orleanian, your papa knows just how hard it can be. Now with that said, Let's get to our Halloween Special! If you have ever been to Walt Disney World, specifically, Disney Springs, then you are bound to have come across this wickedly insane cookie coming from an eerie bakery called GIDEONS BAKEHOUSE. But for this month only, owner, Steve Lewis has coined the new GIDEONS SPOOKHOUSE for Halloween. You guys, listen. I am as picky as the next person. It is not just about the cookie. It is the entire experience. From the gothic look on the exterior, with gargoyles on the rooftop, to the giant doors that open to reveal a spooky and immersive interior. The attention to detail is staggering and is nothing less that what you would expect inside of a Disney World property. Steve has always leaned to the dark and weird side of life, which personally, we all need sometimes. We take ourselves to seriously and for just a few minutes, Steve Lewis wants to transport you to a  mysterious place, that gives off an old library with cobwebs vibe. The lore coming from the bookshelves with animations of his iconic mascots that change throughout the seasons. However, For Halloween Steve takes it to the next level with cookies and cakes and merch that you can only find this time of year! I am always blown away by creative artists that have such an exquisitely eye to detail. Steve's take on life and what he offers to it is absolutely inspirational and I am honored to welcome him BACK.  Thank you brother. You may like black, but the light you bring to our world is blinding. Next up, AUDUBON ZOO!!!Y'all, you know our family loves the Audubon Institute.

Often, when you check out of a hotel, you might feel like you're getting a little extra value by taking home those complimentary shampoos and conditioners. I'm definitely guilty of stocking up! But there's something else you might not realize you can take: the Gideon Bible. Unlike towels and robes, these Bibles are meant to be taken if they can be of use. The Gideons place them in rooms exactly for that purpose: to spread the word, and they'll replace any that are taken. So, grabbing one on your way out isn't stealing - it's encouraged if it helps share the message!

Arise, Mighty Warriors: Gideons 300 Army in 2024 • Friday Service at the RRC Website: www.PastorTodd.org To Give: www.ToddCoconato.com/give Book: www.PastorToddBook.com RRC Nashville: www.RRCNashvile.org Introduction: - Gideon's story is not just a historical account; it's a divine blueprint for overcoming insurmountable odds. - In Judges 7, we witness God's miraculous intervention through Gideon's army of 300, demonstrating the power of faith and obedience. - As we delve into this passage, let's uncover the spiritual principles that can empower us to conquer our own battles. 1. **The Call to Arms** (Judges 6:11-16) - Scripture: Judges 6:12 - "And the Angel of the Lord appeared to him, and said to him, 'The Lord is with you, you mighty man of valor!'" - Commentary: Despite Gideon's initial doubts and fears, God affirms his identity as a mighty man of valor, reminding him of the divine strength available through God's presence. 2. **The Winnowing Process** (Judges 7:1-7) - Scripture: Judges 7:2 - "And the Lord said to Gideon, 'The people who are with you are too many for Me to give the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel claim glory for itself against Me, saying, "My own hand has saved me."'” - Commentary: God intentionally reduces Gideon's army to demonstrate that victory comes through His power alone, not through human strength or numbers. 3. **The Midnight Encounter** (Judges 7:9-15) - Scripture: Judges 7:13-14 - "And when Gideon had come, there was a man telling a dream to his companion. He said, 'I have had a dream: To my surprise, a loaf of barley bread tumbled into the camp of Midian; it came to a tent and struck it so that it fell and overturned, and the tent collapsed.' Then his companion answered and said, 'This is nothing else but the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel! Into his hand God has delivered Midian and the whole camp.'” - Commentary: God confirms Gideon's victory through the dream of the Midianite soldier, affirming His divine intervention and delivering assurance to Gideon. 4. **The Unconventional Warfare** (Judges 7:16-22) - Scripture: Judges 7:20 - "Then the three companies blew the trumpets and broke the pitchers—they held the torches in their left hands and the trumpets in their right hands for blowing—and they cried, 'The sword of the Lord and of Gideon!'" - Commentary: Gideon's army engages in unconventional warfare, utilizing torches, trumpets, and broken pitchers to confuse and defeat the enemy, symbolizing the power of God's strategies over human wisdom. 5. **The Complete Victory** (Judges 7:23-25) - Scripture: Judges 7:22 - "When the three hundred blew the trumpets, the Lord set every man's sword against his companion throughout the whole camp; and the army fled to Beth Acacia, toward Zererah, as far as the border of Abel Meholah, by Tabbath." - Commentary: Through the obedience and faith of Gideon's 300, God delivers a complete victory over the enemy, showcasing His faithfulness and power to save His people. Conclusion: - Gideon's 300 teaches us that it's not about the size of our army, but the magnitude of our faith in God. - Let's apply these principles in our lives: trusting God's promises, embracing His selection process, listening for His guidance, and engaging in unconventional warfare against the enemy. - As we arise as mighty warriors in Christ, let's expect nothing less than complete victory in every battle we face. Amen.

Every commission comes with grace. Every time identity is given there is grace to walk in it.
