WE CONCLUDE our study of the Book of Judges today with several incidents from the period between the conquest of Canaan and the establishment of the monarchy in Israel.
TODAY WE discuss a test of faith most of us hope we never experience: God chose Gideon to lead Israel against the armies of Midian and Amalek--then He ordered Gideon to send most of the troops so that he was outnumbered 400-to-1.
WE BEGIN our study of the second of the Historical Books, Judges. It chronicles Israel's slide into apostasy and chaos, showing the need for a godly king to lead them.
