Against All Odds

Gideon, like many of us, doubted his own abilities. He had suffered so many defeats and failures that he even put God to the test--not once but three times. In the Bible story, Gideon is introduced threshing grain in a winepress, a pit in the ground, so the marauding Midianites did not see him. God appeared to Gideon as an angel and said, "The LORD is with you, mighty warrior." Gideon is an Old Testament Bible character everyone can identify with. This powerful sermon will show us how trusting God can lead even the most unsure person to greatest of victories.
