In this final message of our series in the life of Gideon, we see that Gideon ended badly.

For all his moments of faith, he ultimately left the Israelites in a worse position than before.

How can this be? We see two major faults in Gideon:

He was a product of his father's mess
He relied on his previous successes

However the message ends with hope. Gideon's failures point us forward to a real king, a complete saviour, a total victory - all of which we receive (and more) in Jesus.
