In this message from Judges 6 & 7, we meet Gideon—hiding, discouraged, and convinced God has abandoned him—yet addressed by God as a “mighty warrior.” The sermon explores the tension between how we see our circumstances and how God sees our potential, especially when we feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unable to move forward. Drawing parallels to our own struggles, we’re reminded that God often works not with what is visible, but with what does not yet exist. Just as God called Gideon out of fear and into faith, He invites us to walk with Jesus into a new season of trust and obedience. The message challenges us to believe that God is with us—and that He is not finished writing our story.
