Gideon

February 22, 2015 ()

Bible Text: Judges 6:1-7:25 |

Series:

As the people of Israel again do what is evil in the sight of the Lord, the Lord prepares them for deliverance. He sends his prophet to call them to repentance and obedience, he tears down their idols, and then he reduces their army to practically nothing so that he and he alone would receive all the glory and honor.

There is much for us to learn here from God's actions and Gideon's flawed faith.



Judges

In the time of the Judges, there was no king. As a result the people of Israel did what was right in their own eyes. The time of the Judges is a time of chaos and turmoil, the people longed for a king. Our time is full of chaos and turmoil, it should cause us to long for the King—Jesus Christ.
