JesusWalk Bible Study: Lessons From The Bronze Age

"Gideon is a faithful man mentioned in Hebrews 11. His life reveals many lessons that show us how to submit to God’s will and purpose. The story of Gideon is narrated in Judges 6-8. In his time, Israel once again did evil in the sight of the LORD. They were previously enjoying 40 years of peace and prosperity because of the victory God has provided through Deborah and Barak.

The story of Gideon recounts the miracle-working power of God to reverse a national tragedy. But it is a personal story, too, a story of emerging faith, of great courage, and decisive leadership – as well as a story of human betrayal, weakness, and failure. In this book, we will learn all about:

-Learning to trust God, especially when you feel weak and inadequate,

-Taking unpopular, but necessary stands,

-Finding guidance from God to make difficult decisions about your future,

-Experiencing the presence of the Holy Spirit to empower you,

-Obeying even when you don’t understand God’s plan,

-Keeping focused on the mission when distractions come, and

-Leaving a spiritual legacy for those who follow you."
