On 1/12/2020, Elder Gowens looked at Judges 7 and the story of Gideon to extract from it an important practical lesson. Knowing how the story ends gives us courage to face life's challenges, strength to endure the pressures of the moment, and incentive to maintain our commitment to godliness when the temptation to compromise is strong. (Note: Elder Gowens had a severe case of laryngitis during the delivery of this message. We hope this issue does not present a hurdle to your enjoyment of the content of the sermon.)
