THE UNLIKELY: GIDEON / JUDGES 6:1-8:35 (13x7)

Uitzenddatum: Jul 27, 2014

Faithless and doubting. These terms describe the next unlikely, Gideon, a man who was terrified by circumstances and doubted God’s ability to deliver. Test after test ensued as Gideon tried to ensure that God was with him. Even in faithless duty God used Gideon and delivered the people of God from their oppression. However, at the pinnacle of his influence, Gideon finds himself initiating an egregious act of idolatry that becomes a snare to those he had so reluctantly delivered. Gideon serves as an example of how God continues to use unlikely leaders to serve His purposes and also cautions us that our greatest times of weakness often occur during our moments of greatest victory.
