Sometimes the most negative examples provide the most positive instruction. Having learned about the nature and nurture of faith in the first eight chapters of Judges, this study guide seeks to grow our faith in the certainty that Godâ??s ways are best. Throughout the time of the judges, the people of Israel were caught in a continuous, downward spiral. Worship of God and living His way were replaced with idolatry, murder, envy and anger. And yet the lower Israel descends into depravity, the higher they lift our eyes to God to see that His ways really are the best. His justice is best. His promises are best. His plans are best. His desires are best. His opinions are best. His will is best. If we can learn to put our faith in these truths, we really will learn to live Godâ??s way! Seven sessions with icebreakers, discussion starters, leaderâ??s notes and more.
