Gideon

In this sermon from the Broken series, Wayne Surface explores Gideon’s calling and transformation from a fearful, hiding man into a mighty man of valor. Though Gideon seemed the least likely candidate to lead Israel’s deliverance from the Midianites, God saw his potential and called him not because of who Gideon was, but because of who God is. The message challenges us to recognize that God calls us for salvation first, then to answer His call for service—but before we can be used by God, we must tear down the idols and images in our hearts. From sexual temptation to covetousness, pride, and stubbornness, these idols keep us from full devotion to God. Learn how to identify the high places in your life, break the chains of idolatry, and say “Here am I, Lord, send me.” God doesn’t need the greatest or the mightiest—He needs willing hearts that will let Him work through their weakness.
