In this sermon From Obscurity To Valour, you can be restored. Imagine the people of Israel with their history of the miraculous proofs that attested the fact that God is real. How could they turn to idols? This picture of Israel turning to idols is similar to today's believers backsliding and doing the things they know are wrong.  It is committing sins that one knows are wrong. Israel is an example of a backslidden Christian.

You may be like Gideon today. Backslidden from where you used to be, and are coming to the church today to hide. We come to Christ hiding from the enemy upon us due to our neglect to do God's will. It's good to hide in the tower in which the righteousness come to hide. God can change your situation, and bring from hiding in obscurity to valour. God wants to get hold of your life. 

You've come to hide where the bread and the wine are being prepared. You did wrong and failed God, but you came to hide and to call on the name of the Lord which you should have done at the start of your trouble. But you're here, and God will take you from obscurity to valour.
