Hiding in the Winepress | Judges 6:11–16

Rev. Austin J. Young, Pastor


You thresh wheat on a hilltop because threshing needs wind. A winepress is a sunken pit — no wind, no breeze, no eyes. Gideon is doing the right work in the one place it barely works, because down in that hole nobody can see him. And that's exactly where God shows up and calls him a mighty warrior.


This study looks at what fear does to where we work, and what God says about us before we ever look the part.
