Thanks, But No Thanks
Dec 7, 2025 • Pastor Dr. Aill R. Harris, Jr.
Thanks, But No Thanks is a powerful message preached by Pastor Harris, drawn from Judges 7:1–15, where God deliberately reduces Gideon’s army to reveal His glory. This sermon reminds us that divine victory is not achieved through numbers, strength, or self-reliance, but through obedience and trust in God alone. Through Gideon’s journey, we learn how God prunes pride, removes panic, identifies those prepared to perform, and ultimately provides a clear demonstration of His unmatched power. This message challenges believers to embrace God’s process and confidently declare, “Thanks, but no thanks,” to anything that distracts from His purpose.
