Gideon's Exploits: Serving God In Challenging Times (Boon-Sing Poh)

Description

This series of studies on the life and ministry of Gideon reveals important lessons on the Christian life and service to the Lord. Unlike Gideon who fought with literal swords and spears, the New Testament church fight with "the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God (Eph. 6:17)." The reason is obvious, for "... we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places (Eph. 6:12)." Like Gideon, the Lord's people must go forth into battle "praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit (Eph. 6:18)" as they wield the sword of the Spirit.
