Armed & Dangerous 4 the One True King – Week 1

Book Club Bible Studies are designed to equip you to effectively study the Bible for yourself.  Begin with a
brief review of the blog post Book Club Bible Study Starts Here.  It provides the “big picture” for effective Bible study.

Locate the timeline on page NISB-42 of The New Inductive Study Bible. The nation of Israel can trace its ancestry back to Adam.  Begin with Adam and follow the line over to Judges.  The season of the judges, over the nation of Israel, spanned 300 years.   Judges begins with a generation that did not know war, nor did they know the works of the Lord firsthand.  The book of Judges sets the stage for 1 Samuel.

1. Read Judges 1:27-33 on page 399-400 in The New Inductive Study Bible.

• God had instructed the tribes of Israel to drive out the inhabitants of the land of Canaan.
• What did the tribes do with the inhabitants of the land according to verses 27-33?

 

2.  An angel of the Lord speaks to the people at Bochim.  Read Judges 2:1-3 on page 400 in The New Inductive Study Bible.

3.  Read Judges 2:16-3:6 on page 401 in The New Inductive Study Bible.  Mark judge(s) with a “J.”

• What do you learn about the judges, the people & the Lord?

 

4.  Read and highlight Judges 17:6 on page 427 in The New Inductive Study Bible;  Judges 18:1 on page 428; Judges 19:1 on page 430 and Judges 21:25 on page 436.

• What is the weakness that kept Israel defeated and ineffective?
• How are the days of the judges similar to today in America and in the world?

 

5.  There is hope.  Read the opening of 1 Samuel on page 446 in The New Inductive Study Bible.
