In preparation for Sunday’s message, read Judges Chapters 6 and 7 and see the way God used Gideon to lead the Israelites out of captivity.
Consider these questions as you reflect on the passage?
1. Why was Gideon so afraid?
2. In Judges 6:14, what is the balance between the strength of Gideon and the fact that God was the One sending Him?
What do you think that verse means and how could you apply it to your own life?
3. In Judges 6:23, if God said this to you, would it ease your fears or make you even more afraid?
4. Why did God allow Gideon to "test" what He was asking Gideon to do?
5. If God could use someone like Gideon, with his weakness, doubts and fears, could He use you?
6. What is God asking you to do at this point in your life? Will you have the courage to obey?
