The Passage: Judges 6 & 7
1. Context and spiritual state of Israel in time of Gideon
The real problem in Israel was not the Midianite oppression but Israel’s double-minded faith.
2. Gideon is commissioned
Gideon is living in fear, full of excuses- a very reluctant vessel.
3. God’s Command
Baal must go before the Midianites can go! God’s altar can’t be built until Baal’s altar is destroyed.
4. Big test comes
God turns Gideon into a SUPER-HERO!
5. God reduces Gideon’s army to 300
The battle is the Lords!
