Welcome to Coloring Book All Stars Week 9. We are taking 12 weeks to look at “heroes” in the Bible, those you would see in the pages of kids coloring books, comic strips or even cartoons. These are the stories and people we have lifted up to place of near perfection. We’re taking a close look at how the Bible shows them as messed up men, people as messed up as we are. This week we look at Gideon.
If you were to look at a Bible and pick out the super heroes, who would they be? These are the characters we more often than not will find in children Bible Story Coloring Books. They are larger than life figures with massive amounts of faith that make us feel inspired and, many times, inadequate. These are the people we will look at during our summer series Coloring Book All-Stars. Not only will we talk about them, we will also do our best to show you why they are just like the rest of us with all of their faults and scars; by understanding their flaws we can also learn to trust Jesus better in our lives.
