Gideon: To God Be The Glory Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Aug 16, 2022

God used Gideon not because he was strong or a military genius, but because Gideon was weak. There was to be no doubt that the glory for the victory and deliverance of Israel goes to God. There is a hero in the Gideon story and the hero is the Lord God Almighty.

When they were through the enemy had over 120,000 casualties with the remaining 15,000 running for their life. But when we really look at Judges 6-8 Gideon ...read more
