This is Lesson Three in a six week series on Judges .This story is overlooked a lot! It teaches us how Gideon quickly became the most hated person in town, and how the same actions that made him unpopular eventually earned him the devotion of thousands of soldiers.
The Verses
Judges 6, Joshua 1:7-9, Matthew 5:11-12
The Gist
When Gideon destroyed his townÃs idols, everyone wanted him dead. But soon after this, thousands of soldiers were ready and willing to follow him into battle
The Point
Taking a stand is never popular, but true leaders are those who have the courage to stand up for what is right.
