Application - Judges 17-18

Please read Judges Chapter 17-18

 

Discussion Questions

1.       Read 17:3 What do you make of Micah’s mother consecrating the silver to the Lord to make an idol?  What do you make of her relationship with God?

 

2.       Micah has his own priest.  Does this make him spiritual?  Did he do the right thing?  What do you think of the Levite’s motivation?

 

 

3.       How would you describe the tribe of Dan in chapter 18?  Spiritually, morally, etc.

 

One Step Further

 

1.       Can you give an example of how we might as believers let syncretism (the combination of different systems of philosophical or religious belief or practice) sneak into our spiritual lives? 

 

 

2.       The Levite’s motives for being Micah’s priest were not of a pure nature.   What about your experience in ministry?  Have you worked alongside people whose motives were not entirely pure?  E.g money, position, power etc.   What should we do in such a situation?

 

 

3.       Did anything from these two chapters in Judges have an impression on you personally?  If so, what was it and does it require some positive action from you?
