Faith That Obeys
May 12, 2024 • Pastor Tiffany Gowesky • Hebrews 11:32, Judges 6, Judges 7
Welcome to a journey through the annals of faith, where the improbable becomes possible and the ordinary transforms into the extraordinary. Today, Pastor Tiffany Gowesky takes us through the life of Gideon, a hero whose story is etched in the sacred text of Hebrews 11.
Imagine a time of tumult and oppression, where the Israelites, besieged by the Midianites, cried out for deliverance. Into this scene of despair steps Gideon, a man not of royal decree or warrior's pedigree, but a humble farmer, the least in his family and doubtful of his own significance. Yet, it was this very Gideon whom God chose to lead Israel to freedom, setting the stage for one of the most astounding narratives found in the Bible.
As we explore Gideon's story, we witness a transformation led by divine hands, where Gideon’s conventional expectations of warfare and leadership are overturned by God’s unconventional methods and plans. From an army of 32,000 to a mere 300, every reduction in numbers, every step away from human might and logic was a step deeper into the realm of faith. With each test, with each reduction, Gideon's trust was sculpted, not in the strength of numbers, but in the power of God who promised victory against all odds.
Join us in this video sermon as we trace the steps of Gideon. Let us draw inspiration from his journey, learning how the challenges we face today might not be barriers but rather God's way of revealing His plans and giving us the opportunity to respond in faith and trust.
Prepare to see the unseen, believe the unbelievable, and discover how heroes are made not by their might, but by their faith. Welcome to the story of Gideon where God’s plans reveal the true strength and power of faith.
