Application - Judges 10-12

Journeying through Judges

Please read Judges Chapter 10-12

Discussion Questions

1.       Why do you think God initially reacted differently to the Israelites when they cried out to Him for help? Why do you think God asked them to seek help from the pagan gods?

 

2.       What do you learn from Jephthah’s life?  Personal and leadership style?

 

3.       Jephthah made a vow that resulted in a devastating consequence.  What do you think happened to his daughter?

 

4.       How did Jephthah deal with the Ephraimites?

 

One Step Further

 

1.       Jephthah had “family issues”.  He was the son of a prostitute and was rejected by his brothers.  However, this did not stop him accepting the challenge of being Israel’s judge.  Is there “stuff” in your own life that hinders you from serving, worshipping or obeying God unreservedly?  Explain.

 

2.       Have you made vows to God that were foolish  e.g God if you just give me………I will….  Is bartering with God wrong?  Why do we make vows to God?

 

3.       In reading these chapters what lesson stands out to you the most personally? and why?
