GIDEON, WEEK 1: THE BATTLE BEFORE THE BATTLE

In Week 6 of the Judges series, Pastor Brandon begins the story of Gideon in Judges 6 and reminds us that there is always a battle before the battle. Before Gideon ever faced Midian, God called him a “valiant warrior.” The same God calls us right where we are—not where we think we should be—and declares our potential before we fully see it ourselves. Victory begins when we encounter God’s presence, receive His peace, and allow Him to tear down the idols closest to home.
