ANSWERS: D, B, C, A
Confident- Deborah (Deborah, a woman, was honored by God, to commit her way to His care. Her confidence and faith were inspired by God and was rewarded by victory) Judges 4 & 5
Vigilant- Prodigal Son’s Dad (of course the father in this story is The Father, God. Ever vigilant, and omniscient, The Father knows who are His own. He brings them safely home.) Luke 15:11-32
Winsome –Stephen (A winsome personality in the world today can be charmingly manipulative and deceptive to lure people. But having a winsome character, like Stephen, is kind, loving, compassionate, and forgiving. Maybe this also reminds you of Jesus?) Philippians 4:7-9 and John 13:35
Diligent – Noah (Noah’s faithfulness saved himself and his family and became an heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.) Hebrews 11:7
Getting the Seed out of the basket and into hungry hearts. Matthew 13
