Judges - Marriage Applications

The "Married Couples Small Groups" ministry aims to expose married couples to God's Word and help them incorporate it into their marriage. In addition, the document's purpose is to provide you (the small group leader) with suggested applications.

These are just suggestions to help you with your preparation for your group. If you have a different application, please feel free to use it. We acknowledge that finding an application to teach can be complex, so these are provided as support to you, not as a directive to teach.

Please take note of the "Call to Action" for each application. Perhaps a good opening activity would be to hear from volunteers about how they answered the call. Perhaps ask:

“How has God blessed their marriage?”

“What are you hearing from God?”

There are 21 chapters in Judges. The Bible Study will usually cover a single chapter of the Bible in each 90-minute session. Chapters 4 and 5 are combined, so this book has 20 applications, one on each of the following pages.

Intro to Judges:

The book of Judges depicts a time after the Nation of Israel had crossed the Jordan and taken the promised land. It was just after Joshua had told the nation, “As for me and my house we will serve the Lord.” (Joshua 24:15). It was a 400-year period right before the first King (Saul) was anointed over Israel by the last of the Judges (Samuel 1 & 2).

During this time, Israel would go through many times of turmoil and salvation. The turmoil of their own making because they would do as they please rather than as pleased God. And Salvation when they would remember God and cry out to him. The book of Judges chronicles several of the Judges God raised to rescue his people from their enemies. The study of the lives of these judges will provide beautiful examples of walking in obedience to God even when those around you will not.
