The Story - Chapter 8 A Few Good Men...and Women

The Story - Chapter 8 A Few Good Men...and Women

Speaker: Bob Mooney

Series: The Story - Are You Wandering?

Ever feel like you can’t just get ahead, get your foot in the door, find it hard to compete, get a date, get a job, trapped, no end in sight. The Israelites felt defeated, outnumbered, disadvantaged—repeatedly. Trapped in an insanity cycle (doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results). Spiritually fickle, they just couldn’t stop themselves from worshiping other gods. Almost like “lather, rinse, repeat…or more aptly: sin, judge, repent. Gideon is God’s unlikely messenger, warrior, and leader. God shrinks his army to a few, helps them see their dependence on God, and then God proceeds to save the Israelites from their oppressors. The lesson for us is that following God’s way…is the way. So, today, can I be honest with myself? and am I ready to come clean to God? Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart. (Psalm 37:4)
