After accommodating his fearful testing, God told Gideon to lead Israel against the oppressive Midianites. God’s instructions for preparation, however, saw Israel’s forces diminished from an army thirty-two thousand strong to an insignificant band of three hundred men. In this message, Alistair Begg walks us through the events leading up to Gideon’s stunning victory. Along the way, we see how God helps us to face our own inadequacy so that we may discover and rely upon His sufficiency.
