Judges 7 & 8 More Life Lessons from Gideon (part 2)

In this study:

  • How and why God trimmed Gideon’s army to move them from being 4 to 1 underdogs to being 450 to 1 underdogs
  • How God so mercifully kept on encouraging Gideon
  • How the Sword of the Lord strikes terror into the hearts of His enemies
  • How God’s people are often better at handling times of fiery trials than they are at handling times of ease
  • Our desperate need to “Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving.” (Colossians 4:2)
  • Why God might have allowed some Old Testament men to have many wives
  • Why Israel preferred to be in covenant with Baal than in covenant with Jehovah

Stay in the Battle!
