Rise Up Men Of God

In John the Baptist — Part 1, we look at how God prepared John for a life of faith, courage, and conviction. From being known by God before birth, to being formed in the wilderness, to preaching a clear message and serving with humility, John’s life shows us what it looks like to be a man fully surrendered to God’s purpose.

In Gideon — Part 2, we continue our series Rise Up, O Men of God: Faith, Courage, and Conviction in Judges 7.

Gideon faced an overwhelming battle, but God intentionally reduced his army so there would be no question where the victory came from. This message reminds us that God’s work is accomplished not by human strength, but by His power and presence.

Through Gideon’s story, we see the kind of men God uses—men who are engaged, aware, committed, and dependent on Him.

God is not calling men to be stronger without Him. He is calling men to rise up, step forward, and trust His power to do what only He can do.

In the opening message of our series Rise Up, O Men of God, we look at Gideon in Judges 6. His story begins in a time of crisis, but God calls him to rise up with faith, courage, and conviction.

Through Gideon’s encounter with God, we see that rising up begins with recognizing the crisis, responding to God’s call, bringing our questions honestly before Him, putting our own house in order, and depending on His power rather than our own.
