Come Out of Hiding | Jeff Lynch

Have you been hiding?

Sometimes life happens, and instead of stepping into the future God has for us, we retreat into a place of hiding.

In Judges 6, Israel found themselves hiding because of the Midianites. Gideon was hiding in a winepress, afraid of what would happen if he was seen. But God met Gideon right there and called him something he couldn't yet see in himself:

A mighty man of valor.

God may be speaking the same thing to you today.

You are not your past. You are not the worst decision you've ever made. You are not the mistakes you've committed. And you are not beyond repair.

This message challenges us to take three steps:

1. Acknowledge what led you into hiding.

2. Repent and run back to God.

3. Start moving forward with faith that God is with you.

The message is simple: It's time to come out of hiding.

God has not forgotten you. He has not given up on you. There is forgiveness, hope, love, a future, and purpose waiting when you turn back toward Him.
