Before Gideon goes to battle he must be convicted of God’s calling and anointing of him. His faith is weak and God takes steps to strengthen him for the fight.

With the coronavirus pandemic we realise our vulnerability and powerlessness like never before, whether as a nation or as individuals. The good news is that God has power to save and deepen our faith and trust in him. Our weakness points us to his saving power working in us.

In this message we see when it comes to salvation,

• God strengthens the weak

• God weakens the strong
