9. God’s Pleading – Paul M. Williams

Bethesda Shalom

Judges 8:4-28

Following the awesome victory that God gave into the hands of Gideon His servant – 135,000 Midianites lay dead. Not content with this victory over the host, Midian pursued the 15,000 that remained and slew them dead. The two Midianite kings, Zebah and Zalmunna, were the last two enemies to be destroyed.

This sermon is a plea from God for the same zeal to be enacted on behalf of His people toward sin. We must deal thoroughly and decisively with sin in our lives until every last Midianite is slain. Let us heed the command of God and go up to the fight in the grace and power of the Holy Spirit.
