Description: Gideon’s story demonstrates the kind of man who is made strong out of weakness, so as to begin the process of delivering Israel from idolatry and oppression. A remnant of faithful men are sent forth to sound the trumpet, break the earthen vessels, that the light might shine forth, vanquishing the enemy, through God’s power. But the battle remains with each individual to cleanse their own house of that which competes against God for attention.
