tearing down the altar that his own dad built.What is something we have to tear down in our lives in order for God to start building something new?


9- Judges 6:36-40 tells of Gideon putting a fleece before God. What do you

think was the purpose of this? Have you ever done something similar?


10- Judges 7 tells of God reducing the amount of Gideon’s army from 32,000

men to 300. Why do you think God did this and how did Gideon respond? How

would you have responded?


11- Judges 7:11 says that the 300 that remained actually were given the

provisions and trumpets of those that were no longer with them. These

trumpets were instrumental (pun intended) in their victory. What are some

things we have received from those who have gone before us, that help us have

success today?
