Women's History Feature: Be Obedient to God's Call

Boys and girls and welcome back to Graceville where God's love is everywhere. It's me Pastor Anastasia and I'm so excited that you've joined me today as we learn more about our best friend Jesus. Today's special feature comes to us all the way from Tanzania where my friends Noeva and Noreen have prepared a beautiful song just for us. Let's listen in. We need your supernatural love to break through nothing's impossible You're the God of miracles, God of miracles That was awesome. Remember boys and girls if you want to share the cool things that you're doing at home to have fun while we're staying in, please ask your parents or guardians to inbox me and I'd be happy to share it with our friends. Today at Graceville we're celebrating Women's History Month. We're so excited to learn more about the wonderful women like aunts, moms and sisters and friends who've done amazing things to help us. Here to teach us a little bit more is my friend Jana. Through thoughtful intention and design God made women to be tender and nurturing. It is through building one another up that the women have the beautiful opportunity to bless those around them as well as generations to come. Great women of faith have courageously pursued lives to glorify God. Luke 1 45 encourages women by reminding us that blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill his promises to her. Writer Kelly Logan also reminds us that every woman has been given a unique and beautiful story handwritten by God. At times it can be easy to feel overwhelmed but we can rest assured that we serve a faithful God who intends to bless us and keep us for his own. Happy Women's Month! Hello boys and girls and welcome again to nature time at Graceville. Today our friend Savannah is coming to us with a bird. I don't know what bird but let's hope it can fly. So my name is Savannah. I am going to give you three facts about chickens. Number one, number two, male chickens are called roosters. Number three, male chickens are called hens. My God is an awesome God. He made all of these chickens. Just like how the mother hen takes good care of her chicks, our God takes great care of his children. Isn't it great that we have such a wonderful caring father up in heaven? Bye boys and girls. See you next time. Let's see what Nico's up to today. Hey Pastor Eustacia. I feel a little bit nervous about something. What's going on? I think God wants me to start a Bible study group except for I don't know what to do. I've never done anything like this before. That's so awesome. We're never too big or small to experience the call of God. When we put our trust in him and allow him to lead us, he will use us to do extraordinary things. Wait a minute. That reminds me of our theme for this week which simply says be obedient to God's call. Let me hear my friend Anya say it. Be obedient to God's call. And our memory verse is found in Deuteronomy 27 verse 10 and it simply says obey the Lord your God. Let me hear my friend Nala in England say it. And the memory verse is obey the Lord your God. Deuteronomy chapter 27 verse 10. Great job everyone. It's natural to feel nervous or afraid when God asks us to do something that we've never done before. Wait really? Most definitely. That's why today's story is about a woman who did not allow fear to stop her from obeying God's call to lead. Can you guess who today's story is about? How could anyone forget such a courageous woman? She was one of Israel's judges and I know who she is. Her name is Deborah. That's right Caitlyn. Today's story is about Deborah. Deborah lived in Israel during a time when there were no kings. Many of the Israelites turned away from God to worship idols. This made God very unhappy but Deborah chose to be obedient to God. Because of her faithfulness God called her to lead his people as a judge and prophet. Even though this was unusual for women in those days Deborah accepted God's call and allowed him to use her. Everything was going well until the evil general Sisera tried to destroy the Israelites. They were all afraid until Deborah assured them that God had a plan to rescue his people. With her guidance Barak and his army stood up against their enemies. He also used another woman to defeat the wicked old Sisera. The Israelites were saved all because Deborah was obedient to God's will. Deborah was so brave to accept God's call to lead the Israelites. She sure was Nico. When we are faithful and obedient to God's call he will give us the courage to serve him. So what are you waiting for? Choose to answer God's call today!
