Gideon: God's Common Man Deliverer (Judges 6)

In Judges 6 we are introduced to the situation happening in Israel. God's people are not walking with him, the Midianites are in control of the land, and the Jewish people are being severely oppressed and persecuted. Israel cries out to the Lord, and God calls Gideon to deliver them from the hand of their enemies. We live in a time very similar to the book of Judges where every man does that which is right in their own eyes (Judges 17:6). If we are to be the man/woman God desires us to be then we need to be willing to take a stand when no one else is willing to take a stand!
