Mighty Men of Courage From the Bible

Inspiration for Today's Church from the Desk of Tim Barker

Mighty Men of Courage From the Bible

Courage. Where do we find it when we need it? 

In this book, we will look at Joseph who was sold into slavery, Daniel who faced the lion’s den, Peter walking on the water, even Abraham who saw few of the promises of God during his lifetime. Moses lived for four decades in disgrace, an apparent failure.

Elijah hid in the desert with the ravens for three years.

Paul was arrested for his faith and thrown in prison. Repeatedly.

Yet today we recognize these men as courageous examples of faith in God. The difference is that they took a stand for God, looked beyond their personal circumstances and in faith allowed the hand of God to lead them.

Each of these saints became a powerhouse for God, and we revere them today.

Today is your day to become the Child of God and the man or woman Christ intends you to be.

It’s time to see the world through His eyes.

Christ is calling. I want to answer. 

Join me today, won’t you? 

A Message from the Desk of Tim Barker: 

As the District Superintendent for the South Texas District of the Assemblies of God, I see sharing the Gospel as my God-directed mission.

When I consider the teachings of the Word, I want everyone to experience the courage that can flow from trusting in God. It will change your walk with the Lord.

Join me in trusting Jesus. Your journey to eternity with God can begin now. Open your heart to Jesus and invite Him in.

Tim R. Barker, D. Min.
