During dark times people need a rescue.  When sin abounds all around us - threatening to enter within us - people need a protector.  When God's glory is no longer a priority people need a reminder.  Sometimes we need a hero to lead us.  Sometimes God chooses the least likely person to become that hero.

The story of Gideon from the book of Judges is a timely study for our generation.  God constantly resists evil and, when it is time for that war to be waged, He typically raises up a person to represent Him.  Gideon was an individual that most of us would have passed over, but God does not choose as man does.  Journey with us into a dark time in Israel's history and be reminded about the methods of God in bringing His people to a place of repentance and blessing.  Then ask the question, "Could God use me in my generation as He used Gideon in his?"
