This Thy Might

This Thy Might by Pastor Sheldon Emry is a concise yet powerful 14-page sermon booklet drawn from Judges 6, exploring the calling of Gideon and the true source of strength for God’s people in times of national decline. Emry teaches that Gideon’s “might” was not courage, status, or ability, but faith in the sovereignty of God, knowing that the same God who allowed Israel’s bondage also retained full power to deliver them. Connecting ancient Israel’s captivity to modern conditions, the booklet emphasizes repentance, covenant awareness, and the role of a faithful remnant in redeeming the time. Originally preached in 1977, this message remains sharply relevant, offering clarity, hope, and a call to steadfast trust in God rather than confidence in self.
