In the Bible, all kinds of people are mentioned that we don’t know a whole lot about, yet their names are recorded in a book that would remember them from generation to generation. Oftentimes we read right past their names and don’t consider the value in their story because of how little is recorded. These men and women are true legends that God wanted each of us to remember and be inspired by.

In this small group series, we focus on some of these rarely mentioned legends and discover the reason God placed them in the Biblical narrative. Hopefully, through the inspiration of their lives we will discover how the legendary status for our lives is not that far away from theirs.

01. Shamgar

Shamgar wasn’t necessarily anyone special but he chose to make the most of what he had, in the moment he had. And in turn, his story was included in the Scriptures that we still read today. You have a purpose and a calling to do something with the skills and passions that you’ve been given.

02. Abigail

Abigail showed wisdom in the midst of a stressful situation. By speaking the truth to David and navigating him away from returning evil for evil, she saved her family, her servants and the entire nation that King David would rule. Never underestimate the effect you can have when you choose to pass by revenge and choose love.

03. Caleb

The very group of people that God delivered from Egypt missed out on their intended reward because they were consumed by a negative spirit. But Caleb was one of two who was allowed to enter because he had a “different spirit” and didn’t doubt that God would bring them victory over the obstacle in front of them.
