🌱 Sermon Title: Faith of a Mustard Seed
Speaker: Pastor Vincent
Date: February 22, 2025
Location: Sichem SDA
Text: Judges 6–7

“Even the tiniest key can unlock the biggest gate—if you trust the one who gave it to you.”

What does a locked gate, a shrinking army, and a wheelbarrow on a tightrope have in common? In this inspiring and deeply personal message, Pastor Vincent explores the power of mustard seed faith—the kind that doesn’t look like much, but changes everything.

Through the story of Gideon, Pastor Vincent shows us how God calls unlikely people to do impossible things. And He does it not with numbers, weapons, or logic—but with obedience, trust, and just a little bit of faith.

This isn’t just a sermon about believing harder—it’s about surrendering fully. Because when you give God your small, He shows you just how big He is.

🧩 In This Message:

• A beautiful opening story about a child holding a tiny key and a locked gate—and what it says about how we see our faith.

• Gideon’s journey from “I’m the least” to “God chose me anyway.”

• A wild military plan featuring no swords, no shields—just torches, jars, and trumpets.

• The lesson behind shrinking an army from 32,000 to 300: God doesn’t need your strength, just your trust.

• A challenge to tear down your personal “altars of Baal”—anything that steals your trust in God.

• A tightrope illustration that flips the question from Do you believe? to Will you get in the wheelbarrow?
