People of Faith
Gideon

(Lesson 10)

Introduction:
 

         1. In Hebrews 11 we read about a number of men and women from the Old Testament who showed how
             faith will enable a person to be in good standing with God.
         2. In vs.32 Gideon is mentioned.
             a. Gideon was one of Israel's judges.
             b. After Joshua died Israel went through a very unsettled period until Saul became king.
             c. During this time Israel had a series of "judges" [deliverers].
             d. Through these judges God delivered Israel from foreign oppression (Judges 2:16-19).
             e. We read about Gideon and the things he accomplished in Judges 6-8.
