Sermon Title: “The Courage Hidden in You”

Sermon Text: Judges 6:11-16

“FIRESIDE CHAT” QUESTIONS

1. Why was Gideon beating out wheat inside a winepress rather than using the usual open threshing floor?

2. In what “winepress” situations are you currently hiding?

3. Why does the angel describe Gideon as a “mighty man of valour,” even before he has shown any courage?

4. How might God see potential in you that you don’t see in yourself?

5. Can you recall a time when you felt inadequate for something you believed God was leading you to do?

6. What “Midianites” in your life—such as fears or challenges—are keeping you in hiding, and how can you step forward in faith like Gideon did?

7. How does God’s promise, “I’ll be with you,” speak to your insecurities?

8. Why is God’s promise of His presence more important than Gideon’s personal strength?
