Application - Judges 1 and 2

Journeying through Judges

Please read Judges chapters 1 and 2

Discussion Questions

1.       In reading the first chapter of Judges we see a theme going on with the Israelites and the people they come in contact with in the Promised Land.  What was it and why was their disobedience in this area so devastating?

2.       We often make the same promises to God that the Israelities did all those years ago to follow God no matter what.  However, generally speaking  what “Baals” stop us from following God unreservedly at times?   Personally, does God share the throne of your heart with something or someone else?  Joshua 24:19 says our God is a jealous God.  Share your thoughts on this verse.  Give some time to question 2.

*A Baal can be described as “an owner, master or lord” (Idleman)

 

3.       Read Deuteronomy CH 6,7,8,11,13 – comment on anything that stands out to you in these chapters

 

One Step Further

Spend some time praying this week regarding any idols that might be in your life.  Sometimes we become so comfortable with an idol that we don’t see it as one at all.  Ask the Holy Spirit to shed some light in those corners of our lives that we don’t go to very often.

 

If you recognize idol(s) in your life what is your plan of action to deal with “them”?   Is there someone you are comfortable sharing this information with? If so ask them to keep you accountable.
