Why study Judges?

Are you more comfortable camping out in the New Testament — maybe the Gospels or Paul’s letters to the churches? Does the Old Testament seem a bit..well...old for your liking? And really…in a culture that pushes back, “Don’t judge me!” why would we want to study a book named Judges?

My answer? To know God.

We study the Old and New Testament and we study Judges specifically to know God.  Knowing God will better equip us to worship God. And that is the reason we are here. It’s our purpose!

Are you ready to journey with us through Judges? For the next eight weeks, I’ll be teaching through Judges at my home church in Siloam Springs, Arkansas. If you’re in driving distance, come join us. If you’re not, consider buying the study guide from Joy of Living and studying along with us. Or — just read my Tuesday blog each week to glean one truth from the previous week’s study. I’ll also include a link to listen to the teaching lecture.

Judges includes some strange stories. It recounts God’s faithfulness, His fickle people, and some faltering heroes. We are looking forward to unpacking this treasure together.

Praying we all know God better come December than we do today in September!

Let’s do this!
