SW // You Can't Save Yourself - Judges 7:1-25

“The devil, if anything, prefers Pharisees—men and women who try to save themselves. They are more unhappy than either mature Christians or irreligious people, and they do a lot more spiritual damage.”

— Tim Keller, The Reason For God

“The divine will is perfectly clear in his mind (v. 16). Gideon’s problem is that with his limited experience with God he cannot believe that God always fulfills his word. The request for signs is not a sign of faith but of unbelief.”

— Daniel Block

1. God wants you to see who saves you

2. You are a soldier, not a civilian.

We are in a war, this is not peace time.
