The Story of Gideon
Gideon, a man of the tribe of Manasseh, was called by God to save Israel from the oppression of the Midianites. Despite his initial fears and insecurities, Gideon's faith grew strong, and with just 300 men, he won an impossible battle against a vast enemy army. Thisimplanted fear in the hearts and minds of the enemy, leading to their eventual defeat.
Our Gideon coloring pages illustrate key moments from Gideon's story, from the start of his journey as a fearful man to his ultimate triumph as a hero of faith. Through these pages, kids can learn about bravery, trusting in God, and the power of believing in oneself.
Gideon at the Oak
In one of our coloring pages, you'll find Gideon hiding from the Midianites under a large oak tree. God sends an angel to strengthen Gideon's faith, and they have a conversation. The encounter with the angel at the oak tree marks a turning point in Gideon's journey, transforming his fear into determination to lead Israel to victory.
Encourage children to think about moments when they've been afraid but then found the courage to face their fears. This can lead to interesting discussions about the role of faith and trust in conquering fear.
Gideon and the Winged Angel
Another engaging illustration features Gideon watching in awe as a winged angel, sent by God, battles with his enemy. This coloring page is a visual reminder of the mighty protection and help God offers when we put our trust in Him.
Kids can imagine the angel's epic battle as they color, and afterwards, explore the idea of how God fights for us in our daily lives. They might even come up with their own creative interpretations of the scene!
Fun Gideon Facts and Activities
In addition to our main story-focused coloring pages, we also have some fun, fact-based activities to make learning about Gideon even more engaging. With these activities, children can expand their knowledge about Gideon and the historical context of his story.
