Podcasts about judges 6

Adam and Eve knew it for as long as they knew God. They experienced it under tragic circumstances, yet on that day when they needed it most, they experienced it in a powerful and comforting way. The day that they fell into sin, and brought the entirety of the human race down with them, God came to them with a promise - a promise of forgiveness and hope and life.And that promise was repeated generation after generation to God's Old Testament people, through Noah and Abraham, through Jacob and Joseph and Moses. That promise sustained them throughout their history, through their time in Egypt and in the wilderness and right into the place that God had long before promised would be the homeland for his people.    That's where our summer podcast series begins. This summer on Most Certainly True Podcast, we will be walking through about 400 years of Old Testament history. Beginning with Joshua and commencing at the end of First Samuel -  all under the theme The God of the Promise. We'll see and be encouraged through this devotional walk that God is faithful to all his promises especially as we see him fulfill those promises in big ways to his chosen people. We'll see God make good on his promises all along the way, using these sub-themes:  Joshua - LandJudges - DeliveranceRuth - Redemption1 Samuel - KingdomWe hope that you can join us in this devotional walk through these Old Testament books.  We'll read through them, chapter by chapter, and post an episode on each chapter that we read. We hope that you join us so that you can see just what the Israelites of old saw - that God is The God of the Promise.  If you have any questions about this series or our Most Certainly True Podcast, please reach out to Pastor Hackmann at bhackmann@gracedowntown.org.

Gideon: The Mighty Man of Valor Judges 6 Gideon begins as an unlikely deliverer whom God graciously uses, but he ends as another flawed judge who cannot ultimately save God's people. By reading the whole story—not just the famous parts—we learn that the hero is never Gideon, but the Lord. Gideon's life leaves us longing for the perfect Deliverer, Jesus Christ. Sermon Preached by Bryan Martinez on July 5, 2026 Foothill Church exists to glorify God by living as disciples of Jesus who make disciples of Jesus. https://foothill.church

Of all the ways God could have chosen to reveal God's self to the world, why stories? Why not a systematic theology textbook? Or an easy to read list of principles? Why not just a giant collection of rules? Often we just want the point, the lesson, the answer, the takeaway, but stories, good stories, work differently. Stories invite us to slow down and get curious. To notice details and ask questions. This goal this summer is to allow ourselves to wonder and wander through the tried and true stories of the Old Testament and along the way, we might discover there's more to the story than we thought.

This week we walked through Judges 6–7 and looked at Gideon's story. We were reminded that our biggest battle is often the one happening in our own hearts. God is faithful even when we are fearful, and true peace is found not in our circumstances, but in His presence. Will we trust Him and tear down the idols competing for our hearts?     Want to watch a version of this message? Check out our live broadcast archive at www.declarationchurch.net/live.

Title: Is He Spiderman or is He Spiderman?Scripture Reading: Judges 6:11-24Series: Bizarre BibleToday we welcome Taylor Englund for podcast-style message. Taylor and Pastor Bill delve into Gideon's perplexing encounter with the Angel of the LORD, revealing how the Angel of the LORD is often a pre-incarnate manifestation of God the Son. It demonstrates that the concept of the Trinity, or Godhead, is deeply rooted in Old Testament scripture. Embrace the thoroughly biblical truth of the Trinity, understanding that God, in His complex and powerful nature, uses the weak to display His glory and deserves our exclusive worship.

Ben shares from Judges in the third week of our teaching series 'Jesus and Judges'.

In this sermon from Judges 6, Pastor Jim Schultz examines the account of Gideon and the repeated temptation to demand proof when God has already spoken. As Israel suffers under Midianite oppression, God calls Gideon to act. Yet instead of responding with confident obedience, Gideon continually seeks signs and assurances, revealing a heart marked by hesitation and uncertainty.This passage reminds us that God's people are called to take Him at His Word. While God graciously bears with Gideon's weakness, the focus of the chapter is not on imitating Gideon's requests for signs, but on recognizing the sufficiency and reliability of God's promises. The Lord had spoken clearly, and Gideon's responsibility was to believe and obey.Pastor Jim also explores Israel's idolatry, God's righteous discipline, His undeserved grace, and the empowering work of the Holy Spirit. Ultimately, this message calls believers to reject the constant demand for further proof and instead trust what God has revealed in His Word. True faith is not built on signs and miracles, but on the character and promises of God.

False gods cost more than expected and give nothing in return. Jesus has paid the cost of our sin and gives us everything.

Our own sin seeks to blind us to the part we play in the problems we face, but if we we are willing to examine ourselves and allow God to draw near, He can deliver us.

Judges 6-8 by Christ Presbyterian Church - Greenville, NC

God is anxious to show us His hand

Brent Wilson preaches from Judges 6 on May 3rd, 2026.

In Judges 6, Israel's disobedience opened the door to oppression—and the Midianites devastated the land year after year, leaving God's people harassed, hiding, and hopeless (Judges 6:3, 5). It took seven long years before Israel humbled itself and cried out to the Lord (Judges 6:6). In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef draws a sobering parallel to our own time: when adults fail to model faithful obedience, the next generation often learns to retreat—running and hiding from the “Midianites” of their day rather than standing firm in God's strength. But God's pattern with Gideon still holds: before He delivers His people from external threats, He must deliver them from internal unbelief. Dr. Youssef calls believers to welcome God's gift of revival through confession and repentance, then to cling to the Lord, rest in His strength, and show the next generation what it looks like to “stand up and be counted.” If you're burdened for the future of your family, your community, or your nation, this devotional will re-center your hope: God can still rescue, but He begins by reshaping hearts. Prayer: God, forgive us for the poor example we have set for the next generation. I pray that my generation would humble itself before You before it's too late. Help us show our children what it means to stand up for Truth instead of being overrun by our culture. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. “Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood” (Acts 20:28).

Judges 6-7; Psalms 57-58; Romans 16

What if your biggest obstacle is not fear — but the choice to hold back? In Judges 6, God calls Gideon a mighty hero while he is literally hiding in a wine press. That disconnect is the whole point. In Why You Keep Holding Back, Pastor Mike O'Connell unpacks the Greek word deilía from 2 Timothy 1:7 — often translated "timidity" — and reveals that it is not describing an emotion. It is describing a posture: the decision to shrink back when courage is already available to you.God did not just call Gideon out of hiding. He stripped away every safety net — shrinking an army of 32,000 down to 300 — so there would be no question about who deserved the credit. If there is a decision you keep deferring, a conversation you keep avoiding, or a calling you keep softening to make it more comfortable, this message will challenge you. What God sees in you is not what your circumstances are telling you. And the step He is asking you to take might be the very thing that unlocks everything else.

Today, Will is joined by Thomas Nelson as we continue our study through the book of Judges.

Pastor Doug reads and comments on Judges 6.

Many of the battles we face start with the lies we believe about ourselves. In this message, we look at Gideon's story and uncover how fear, pain, insecurity, and past wounds can shape identity in unhealthy ways. This sermon reminds us that God does not call us according to our weakness, but according to the purpose, courage, and calling He has placed within us. As we reject false labels and place our identity in Christ, we can live in freedom, healing, and bold faith.Click here to view the episode transcript. (00:00) - Name the Chain begins (01:01) - Why identity must come first (03:11) - Gideon, fear, and life in hiding (07:50) - Lie 1 I have to stay small to stay safe (14:14) - Lie 2 God has abandoned me (19:30) - Lie 3 My past disqualifies me (23:02) - Lie 4 I am not enough (24:40) - Truth 1 You are worthy of God's presence (26:29) - God speaks to your potential (31:06) - You are commissioned, not accidental (35:14) - Gideon's victory with 300 men (39:28) - Surrender your identity to Jesus

In this message, we, look at the calling of Gideon in Judges 6 and were reminded that God is mighty to transform. Even when fear, failure, and doubt surround us, God sees the potential of a life fully surrendered to Him. When we stop leaning on ourselves and start trusting the Lord, He makes us strong in His power and purpose.

Do you ever feel the weight of standing for Christ in a world that increasingly mocks those who do? In today's message, Pastor Mark explains that while faithfulness to Jesus once often brought honor and support, today it can bring ridicule, hostility, or even real danger, much like Gideon faced in his own time. If God calls you to obey, He Himself will be your protector. You don't need widespread approval or a safe setting to follow Christ; obedience and trust that His protection is always enough. Even if faithfulness costs everything, including your life, that willingness to lay it down is exactly what serving the Lord truly means.

Have you ever tried to fix an issue someone else had before dealing with your own? In today's message, Pastor Mark explains that just as God told Gideon to tear down his family's own idol altar first, not everyone else's, the Lord is calling you to deal with the idols and compromises you've allowed in your own life. It's time to tear down any altars that are placed above God in your heart. Tearing those down is step one; only then will God use you in greater ways beyond your own home. What specific altar in your home might God be asking you to tear down today so you can walk in fuller freedom and usefulness for Him?

In today's message, Pastor Mark explains that God deliberately chooses the ordinary, the unlikely, and the underestimated most of the time. Not because He can't use talented or impressive people, but because He refuses to let anybody steal the glory that rightfully belongs completely to Him and Him alone. That's God's pattern all through Scripture: the glory belongs to Him alone, so He works mightily through the weak and the rejected to make it crystal clear that the strength comes from Him. Maybe that's why God has chosen you. He's ready to use you in ways that point straight back to His greatness.

Do you realize God already saw you as a winner when He chose you? In today's message, Pastor Mark describes how the Lord picked you not because of worldly success, status, or strength, but because He saw your heart would choose Him for eternity and make you a true winner in His kingdom. God doesn't just look at you, but your potential - the person you will become as you simply believe and obey, rather than judging where you stand right now. The only thing holding you back from becoming a mighty man or woman of valor is taking that step of faith and trusting what He already sees within you.

Have you ever found yourself pulling back from church or avoiding certain Christian friends because you knew deep down you weren't living right? Today, Pastor Mark explains that when you're not walking as you should before the Lord, sin naturally brings oppression and a strong urge to hide. That instinct to withdraw and stay out of sight is the classic response to sin, trying to keep God and His people from seeing the truth. But the key isn't staying hidden; it's recognizing what's happening and getting it right with God again so you can step back into the light without fear of judgment or rejection.

In today's message, Pastor Mark explains that, while God does permit many things for His purposes - there are times when He directly brings hardship, difficulty, or discipline Himself to get your attention when nothing else has been able to. You might hear that God only “allows” something, instead of “doing” it. Sometimes, God steps in and brings discipline to wake you up. That kind of direct action from God shows His love in a serious way, because He refuses to let you keep drifting without intervention. You can trust that when He causes difficulty, it's always purposeful, aimed at your good and His glory.

In today's reading from Judges, Fr. Mike talk about Gideon's story, and points out how the people began to worship the object Gideon had created to glorify God, instead of worshipping the living God. In Ruth, he highlights the role of kinsman-redeemer and how Jesus is the ultimate fulfillment of that role. Today's readings are Judges 6-8, Ruth 3, and Psalm 135.

TODAY'S EPISODE: Episode Introduction: March 29th, 2026 Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible podcast for March 29th, day number 88 in our journey through the Bible. Join your Bible reading coach, Speaker A, as we come together from all around the world to warm our hearts by the fires of God's love. Today, we'll dive into Judges chapters 6 and 7, witnessing Gideon's transformation from the least of his family to a mighty warrior chosen by God. We'll explore Psalm 52, reflecting on God's justice and unfailing love, and finish with First Corinthians 14, focusing on the spiritual gifts that strengthen the church. Throughout this episode, we'll be reminded that you are who God says you are—regardless of how you feel or where you come from. We'll spend time in prayer, meditation, and gratitude, remembering God's presence, his role as loving Father, and the blessing of community. Whether you're joining us in reading, reflecting, or supporting, let's move forward together in God's joy and love. TODAY'S DEVOTION: You are who God says you are. God called Gideon a mighty warrior. He didn't feel like a mighty warrior. He felt like he was the least of the least. That's what he told the angel of the Lord: I come from the least of the tribes of Israel, and I am the least within my own family. That's not what God called him. God didn't call him the least of the least. He called him a mighty warrior. Regardless of how you feel, you are who God says you are. You might be beaten up, exhausted, and hiding like Gideon was, but like Gideon, God will come and find you. He comes looking for people just like that, so that he might prove himself strong through us. He delights in making the least the greatest. And he ultimately will win the victory for us, just as he did for the 300 trumpet-blowing Israelites. It was God who won that victory. It was God who was showing himself strong among the least. In the end, it is God who says who we are. If he chooses to call you mighty warrior, then that, my friend, is who you are. Have you heard him call you daughter, son, friend? Well, that's who you are. You are who God says you are. So listen and receive the blessing of the name that he has given you. There's going to be a time coming when we stand before God— in Revelation, we're told that there's a gift for those who overcome: it is a white stone, and on it will be written a name that no one understands but the one who receives it. You are who God says you are. So live in the light of that. Receive the blessing of it and rise up into what he's calling you to do. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife and my daughters and my son. And that's the prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL
