Week 4: Gideon: God's Power in Our Weakness

Gideon’s story begins in a season of fear and oppression. Israel had turned from God, and the Midianites were devastating the land. When God called Gideon to deliver His people, Gideon was hiding in a winepress, threshing wheat in secret. He saw himself as the least in his family and his family as the weakest in Israel. Yet God called him a “valiant warrior.” This lesson shows how God’s power shines through human weakness. The Lord does not choose people because of their strength; He makes them strong because of His presence. Gideon’s call reminds us that God delights in using ordinary people who trust Him completely.
