Life is full of choices like a “choose your own adventure” story. The Bible begins with a fundamental question: Who or what is your most high?

In this message, we turn to Judges 6 and the calling of Gideon. Israel is trapped in a downward spiral, oppressed and exhausted, and Gideon is hiding in fear when God meets him.

This lesson reminds us that God often begins our rescue by calling us to hard obedience. Before He changes our circumstances, He confronts our excuses, our blame, and the idols competing for our allegiance.
